A New Whollop Bros. comic is out!! Things are looking a little dark, as Willy sees no way of the duo beating Sun Wukong... But what's this? Just off screen? a glimmer a hope? I guess we'll see what could turn this around next week. #comics #comicstrips #webcomics #pirates
Willy stares down at his flintlock pistol in distress as he says "This... isn't working...Bullets just bounce right off him...Walt only seems to be able to fend him off with his hammer...". Tears begin to well in his eyes as he continues "But I don't have a weapon like that, and I'm not strong enough to fight him bare handed! but Walt can't do this alone! there ha to be something-". He is interrupted as something off-panel makes a soft 'bop' noise. Willy turns to look at it in surprise, his expression softening.

A New Whollop Bros. comic is out!! The climatic fight against Sun Wukong has arrived, but how will the boys put down the monkey king for good? especially when one of their weapons is ineffective? #comics #comicstrips #webcomics #pirates
Walt and Wukong clash midair, only for Wukong to glance behind him and realize an airborne willy is lining up two shots. When Willy fires though, Wukong manages to catch the bullets in his teeth. As the combatants land, Wukong bats Walt away with one end of his staff. He takes the other end and delivers a crushing gut-blow towards willy, which sends him flying. As Wukong snickers, an enrage Walt flies at him from behind with hammer raised Walt lands on Wukong's shoulder and begins pulling his hair and headband. A winded Willy picks up his pistol to fire again, only for the bullet to bounce off Wukong with a "boing". Willy reflexively ducks as the bullet passes overhead.

I think something happened in that fountain… #comics #webcomics #comicstrips #indiecomics #ongoing #artistonbluesky
"take heed mateys, for those who sail this way rarely return to friendly shores, and dead men tell no tales" The whollop brothers flinch as the squad of soldiers are ordered to fire, but as the bullets hit their body, the projectiles are flung backwards. Willy comments "well thats new" Sun Wukong turns to leave, saying "Well my work here is done, I'm sure my crew here can 'show you out'". Several small monkeys holding pistols rise up, and as shots go off in the background wukong continues speaking. "Awe, alone at last! I can finally go-" The monkey king is cut off as the shots give way to a loud, spring-like sound. "Boing?" Wukong asks in confusion. He turns in shock to see his monkeys on the ground, and the brothers standing defiantly unharmed. Willy states "sorry to disappoint sun, but we've recently developed a projectile dysfunction" Sun Wukong grips his staff enraged. "So!" he says "You brats managed to get your hands on the forbidden fruit as well...". Walt and Willy, while smiling, also look quite angry, as they lean forward with weapons in hand. Walt responds "We don't know anything about your thorn-ridden fruit! All I know is we're about to kick your ass!". The combatants leap towards each other as Wukong shouts "Bring it, brat!"

These cards seem to have curious magical effects: One activated when its user flips it face-up, and the other when the face of the card is shown at all. How odd. We'll keep digging through this trove and let you know what else we find #cardgames #tradingcards #TCG #indiedev #fantasy

What's this? We seem to have fished up some kind of card! Hm... Well the brothers have never seen anything like it before, so I'm thinking it might be from some other world! What kind of strange properties could these playing card posses? #cardgames #tradingcards #TCG #indiedev #fantasy

A New Whollop Bros. Comic is Out!! Not everything is like the movies, and the idea of ‘self sacrifice’ is not as grand as it’s portrayal in fiction. Really, the greatest strength is in sticking together, as a crew #comics #comicstrips #webcomics #cartoons #pirates
Sun Wukong turns around with his staff over his shoulder, as he smirks and tosses Lindsay to the side, taunting "Here, have one of your friends back. I was getting bored with beating them." Walt and Willy lean over, gently picking Lindsay up, as Walt asks "Lindsay, why'd you rush in without us?" A beaten and bloodied Lindsay weakly responds "I... I just wanted to be able to handle this myself... I didn't want you kids getting hurt..."

Walt and Willy leap forward with a splash of water, with walt declaring "don't worry Lindsay! We're here to-". The two pause as they land, with expressions of dread across their faces. Walt mutters "oh no" as they see sun wukong holding a beaten lindsay by the collar. He says "oh good, the other brats are here. I already broke your friends"

Walt and willy stand on the side of a river before a waterfall, Walt says "Man, I love a good old cave and waterfall combo". Willy continues by saying "and it looks like Lindsay and chester beat us to it". They sit there overlooking the roaring, rushing waterfall for a moment before willy asks "so did we bring an umbrella?"

A new Whollop Bros. Comic is out!! I wont't lie to you folks..I get how our lil monkey king here feels... #comics #webcomics #comicstrips #pirates
A group of monkeys sit about a large cave, loosely decorated with barrels, chairs and flags. At the mouth of the cave is a large waterfall, which causes a stream to come flowing through the cavern. Sun Wukong sits in a stone chair, drinking booze, proclaiming "awe, good to be home! No more little people to bother me, just good old peace and qui-". Off screen, Lindsay crashes in, interrupting the monkey king by yelling "WUKONG!". Wukong only responds by sighing "nevermind I guess"

A New Whollop Bros. Comic is out! An old friend of my always said "don't split the party"...but that guy was a nerd so I think it'll be fine! #comics #comicstrips #webcomics #pirates
Walt stands seriously with his chest puffed out, stating "Ok crew, we are headed into a powerful enemy's secret hideout. . .but as long as we stick together, I'm sure we can beat them!". He turns to see only willy standing there, who responds "Oh...they left an entire five minutes ago". Lindsay and chester are seen rowing silently away in a dingy.

A New Whollop Bros. Comic is out!! What's this? a heart to heart in our comedy adventure series? Well there goes the audience we had #comics #comicstrips #webcomics #pirates
Lindsay leans over Willy as he fixes the ship, and says "Y'know, you guys already got us here. You could always bolt before the fighting starts." Willy responds with "No dice Lindsay". She inquires "But Why? You're getting nothing out of this!" Willy goes on to say "Listen, Walt and I would be devastated if we lost our ship here we cant imagine losing one with an even bigger crew. We tried to tell you, we don't care what people think pirates should do, we just do what we want. Like beating up *censored*"

A New Whollop Bros. Comic is out!! If you ask me, I think the best move for our heroes would be to sneak in and steal this guys banana hoard. No need to rollout the gangplank on this galleon! #comics #comicstrips #webcomics #pirates
Willy stands holding a hammer, some nails, and a large piece of wood behind him saying "Yeah these repairs are gonna take a couple hours at least". Lindsay looks upset as she points to the sea, crying "But we don't have time for that! Wukong could be anywhere by then!". Walt looks over the rails responding with "Actually I think I know where he's gonna be". Walt is looking at a mountainous jungle island, atop which is a sign declaring 'Wukong'. Walt continues "That is the second secret island we've found with a big sign".

Miss Lindsay Ladel here has been aboard for a bit now…and we’ve only actually mentioned her name the one time. Do you think she’ll be sticking around, or hopping off at our next port? #comics #comcstrips #webcomics #cartoons #pirates #artistsinbluesky
Lindsay Ladel and Chester C. Cat walk through town, as Lindsay says "So we'll be sailing with them for a short time til we settle things with wukong". She continues with "They aren't exactly a 'cut-throat' crew, but I think they'll do for-' before Chester interrupts "Uh, ma'am?". They look upon the Sinking Anvil, which is decorated with balloons and a banner that says 'Friend-ship'. Lindsay responds "alright so maybe this was a mistake". The Sinking Anvil crests some waves as it sails through the ocean. On board, Lindsay asks "So, like...If you guys don't really 'pillage or plunder' why do you bother calling yourselves pirates?". Walt and Willy stand at the other end of the ship, wearing hats and shirts adorned with jolly rogers and W's, making silly faces. Walt says "branding and merchandise". The stern of the sloop 'the Sinking Anvil' erupts in an explosion, knocking the whole vessel to the side. Lindsay Ladel and Chester rise to their feet, as Lindsay groggily asks "is everyone okay?". Wallt responds "Its all good Lindsay, the rudder took most of the damage for us!", as he stands naively cheerful in front of the destroyed steering equipment.

A New Whollop Bros. is out! Y'know, between the brothers' hats and Wukong's home-run here, you might be excused for thinking this is a baseball comic... #comics #webcomic #cartoon #pirates
Sun Wukong is seen smacking a cannonball with his staff like a baseball, as sparks fly from the impact. Back at the Sinking Anvil, Lindsay lean towards Willy who's looking through a spyglass, in order to ask "watcha see?". Willy responds by lowering his spyglass and declaring "we should probably duck and cover".

Ohohoho! Care to play a game? We’ve been pulling some whacky faces lately! recognize any?
The Sinking Anvil crests some waves as it sails through the ocean. On board, Lindsay asks "So, like...If you guys don't really 'pillage or plunder' why do you bother calling yourselves pirates?". Walt and Willy stand at the other end of the ship, wearing hats and shirts adorned with jolly rogers and W's, making silly faces. Walt says "branding and merchandise". Lindsay looks at a bewildered Walt sternly, as she states "...so while I appreciate your help, I'm worried if you aren't willing to get your hand hands dirty, we won't stand a chance against wukong." Willy interrupts the two by saying "cap'n!! I've spotted wukong's ship dead ahead!" Walt responds "good..." before striking a comedically dramatic expression and declaring "...prepare the bow cannons" A chinese junk ship sails peacefully over the rocky seas, as on board, a small monkey reports to captain Sun Wukong. To short even to reach Wukong's sitting height, the monkey stands atop a barrel, saying "Captain, we've spotted a pirate sloop off our-". The monkey is cutoff though, as he is violently pushed aside by a cannonball, which seems to surprise even the disinterested Wukong. Wukong spins his head around, looking towards where the small monkey was shot, and asks "...off our what?!"

A New Whollop Bros. Comic is out!! Small reminder that monkies aren't just bunches of bananas and barrels of laughs, a few of these fellas are real frightenin'!! #comics #webcomics #pirates #cartoons
Sun Wukong rises from his chair, saying "Oh well... Y'know the old saying... ". He raises his hand to his ear, from which a small iron bar appears and grows, as he continues "...If you want a boat full of brats sunk...". Once the iron bar is the size of a proper bo staff, he rests it on his shoulders, looking forward with a wild expression, finishing with "...you sink them yourself!!".
