Haha, funny thing, we had something called “War Canoes” at a boy scout camp I went to. But we only used them for getting to the other side of the island. Great comic, keep it up!
Well, now that it’s out there, I’m sure some weapons contractor is drawing up a bid for the Military…WTG, Adam!
By the way, has rule 34 been applied to Bug yet? Just curious.
Hate to break it to you but militaries have been using canoes as long as there have been canoes. First Americans used them extensively and they played a central role in many campaigns in the wars of North America in the colonial period (1750-1820).
Once a year I go canoeing with my mates, 20 family fathers getting drunk and going crazy in canoes for a weekend – ramming speed works if you really put your back into it, we managed to get one canoe to completely submerge another canoe and go straight over the middle.
Living on the West Coast of Canada, we do hear a bit about the Coast Salish natives and their war canoes… seems they had big stone doughnut-shaped weights that they would throw into their opponents’ canoes to hole and sink them. The hole in the weight was for a rope so they could recover them and use them on another canoe, I guess…
Funny enough, we actually do have accounts of massive battles of war canoes on Lake Victoria in Africa. No word on if they were won or lost because some jerk tried to tip them.
So, I’m part of a canoe club and I was wondering if you would let me put this on a shirt. I don’t want to use it without permission and just wondering what all that would entail
Well, I know how to do a head-stand in a canoe without tipping it, and I can shoot class 3 rapids without tipping it, so I guess that making love in a canoe would be somewhere be somewhere in between there, so yes.
Actually, there are accounts of the use of canoes during World War II: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aCsnzzLORM
They were used to take small groups into enemy harbours where they could plant bombs under the cover of darkness.
They are also used by special troops due to their (possible) silent operation.
FIRST!
Also, the “from hell’s heart” quote was my favorite.
Panel 2 is the funniest thing I’ve seen all weekend

Nooooooooo! What have u done?! Now that u’v said it, somewhere there is a very lonely animator who’s getting to work!
I doubt Adam would do that to his own creation.

*tries.
I’m sure canoes could be weaponized… if they only had to fight other canoes. Trying to take on a battleship might prove difficult…
Yes, the “trys” in Panel 4 needs correction.
Maybe you could put torpedo-bombs out the front of the canoe, as in The African Queen… if you could avoid the Panel 3 problem.
Oops. Good catch. Will fix.
@um…square. I guess you could use an RPG, once.
@Adam. How do you come up with this stuff, I mean come on. Canoe=warcarrier

That was awesome!

Whoaml, from hell’s heart I stab at thee for posting “FiRST”
So any truth to the saying that a Canadian is someone who knows how to make love in a canoe (I presume without tipping it over)?

… as a Canadian this is a little insulting what do you think the war canoe is for?
I’m pretty sure I’ve heard of canoes used by the military.
Heineken is garbage!
Is “Ice burg, dead ahead” copyrighted? That is what I’m used to the phrase being.
I like the quote from “Moby Dick”! Very appropriate.
Yes, but who can see or hear that line without thinking of Khan? It’s like the William Tell Overture and the Lone Ranger.
Google-search “Waka taua.”

Last panel.
So damn true.

The submersible canoe comes to mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorised_Submersible_Canoe
Also, there were plenty of other war canoes out there.
