This strip used to be about the “clever crew of shipboard malcontents, incompetents, and laggards”. Originally there was no “Louie”, and the strip was one of those that could have you laughing, with tears in your eyes, it was so funny. I think Chip is having writer’s block and has added silly characters that aren’t part of the original formula. I hope he finds his way back. This used to be my favorite comic. I have his original paperback “Overboard” from 1991 and it is a classic.
