Strip by: LTDave

Ambrose: {in naval hat and uniform, wielding a cutlass} Full speed ahead, and damn the torpedoes!
Oliver: {green skin, superhero costume} Torpedoes? In 1860s America?
Holly: {in armour, with crown and shield} He means "mines". But they called them torpedoes in the 1860s.
Delkin: {a vampire} I hate fancy dress parties.

The author writes:

I started out with Ambrose in a silly hat. This was my first attempt at a strip in a while, so I had no plan other than silly hats. The gag grew from there.
