Time for change?
Cowardly pirates, Ryoichi thought as he leapt up to the upper deck. A cub avenges her fallen crew and now these silly men won't go near her. He stretched out on the warm planks and closed his eyes as he prepared for a sunny nap. More fish for me!
"Hmm..." Captain Dodger observed the exchange between Ryoichi and Glen. He stroked his beard thoughtfully before going below deck to his quarters. The captain crossed the room and sat down in his favorite chair.
The cat eats well, but the crew... His thoughts were interrupted by knocking at his door.
"What is it?" he asked grumpily.
The door opened to reveal Glen's swarthy face. "Can we talk?"
"What do you want?" Captain Dodger asked grumpily.
"Water and hard tack ain't workin' out," Glen began.

Time for change?
Remember: The captain is highly superstitious. Cats are good luck, and therefore, anything that makes his resident cat happy is a-ok in his books.
That pirate's got brass. Is it time for a change in rations?
Ya know, you really don't see too many big, hairy guys in comics. (Unless you read a comic about talking animals, but that's kind of a different subject.) Or many overweight people, for that matter. There are more skinny little bald bishie dudes than anything. Hrm...
...If we ever get off this dang boat I may never draw wood again.
