Crafty or not, remains to be seen whether Katz or Kapitan Von Krakkt is the schemiest schemer in Scemesville… Be interesting to see how they get that iceberg into port and through customs with all the backup of container ships to get through… but then again, presumably the U-115 still has a full complement of torpedoes aboard, which might be a persuasive means of expediting things…
Read your post about FB planning on getting rid of your “grey” page. I follow you here, on your other FB page, on Tumblr, and on Deviant Art, so I’ll get my evil Bunz fixes somehow.
CURSE YOU! Zuckerberg!
Well… I must admit that the octopus emblem is non-authentic… I use it, mostly as I just didn’t care to draw a Nazi swastika emblem on his cap, still I wanted something moderately ominous looking as a replacement…
Speaking of non-authentic, I’d thought that someone would catch me on this, but there never was a WWII U-Boat numbered 115… The Kriegsmarine with teutonic thoroughness, numbered their U-boats more or less consecutively (Issued in blocks of numbers to the shipyards) However, occasionally there were gaps (often for cancelled boats) As such, 115 was a skipped over number – it appealed to me as Many U-boat crews met ghastly fates (as did their merchant marine victims) So I preferred not to joke around with a historical U-Boat & crew… Also, as a Marine I’d served in VMFA 115, an F4 B & J squadron (The Phantom 2) as a phantom phixer electronics tech – so the number clicked with me…
Incidentally, if you ever travel to Chicago, it has one sight to see that no other city can claim, the last complete type IX U-Boat (the U-505, captured by the US Navy during WWII and now residing in a huge vault at the Museum of Science and Industry)… (That is, not counting the Type IXs on the bottom of the Atlantic… Note, the Britts did raise one, but then sawed it into huge chunks, and left it to rust as the world’s most heavily armed pidgin roost… go figure…) The most common U-Boat class were the type VIIs – but the type IXs were the next in numbers built – a pre-war design with a longer range, able to cross the Atlantic both ways with plenty of loiter time to hunt without refueling… A couple were also used as Greenland weather stations, so that also fits in with our U-115’s mission…

It would seem that Katz is a rather craftier schemer than Bunz… Perhaps it’s a good thing for us Dirt Creatures that he’s not normally in charge…
Being stranded on an iceberg with a hungry walrus might not be that much worse than working for Bunz…

Ouch! What a thing to say to a chick, Kaptain Krakkt really is vile, evil and not nice!

I keep meaning to ask, why does the Kaptain wear an octopus emblem on his hat?
