Clarksville

Clarksville-AhoyI’m just back from my most recent expedition to distant lands. I saw amazing things, ate exotic foods, and had a great time. Where did I go? I can’t say exactly, because I ate the map. But it was somewhere in the Clarksville region, beyond where the dragons live.

Upon arrival I was greeted by two wonderful sights: a treasure chest full of all manner of pirate booty, and an absolutely amazing cake, complete with an edible pirate map. I’ve never seen anything quite like it.

…and some terrific illustrations. Here are just a few of the Backbeard interpretations I found.
