Commander Davidson Bulloch, a former Confederate Navy submarine captain, gets more than he bargains for when he signs on as the first captain of Maryland's new "Oyster Navy" and sets out to rid the Chesapeake Bay of illegal oyster dredgers. Beset with an aging crew of misfits and his cantankerous iron-clad steamer, The Layla, Davidson quickly realizes he's dealing with more than just some purloined oysters; the nefarious pirate Treacher Fink has hatched a plan to summon the ghost of a legendary Chesapeake Bay waterman who has the power to control the sea and everything in it.

Something’s wrong with the strip today, Ben. It doesn’t seem to load.
(By the way, who’s the seaman at the top of this page who looks like Dick Tracy’s Flattop? He’s the fourth counting from the left)

Okay, after staring at the page for a couple minutes it dawn on me, it’s not loading! What’s going on Benny, a glitch perhaps?

Probably a broken .jpg format. It happens. Just re-upload it.

It’s been over six hours and the jpg hasn’t been fixed yet. GoComics or somebody is asleep at the switch. Ben should be pretty upset that they’re not treating his art with better respect.

I just sent a message to GoComics in which I said:

December 10 – The “Oyster War” comic is broken. Please take note and fix it.
