He’s already been impaled on a metal spike. Didn’t do too much damage either. I guess the TV Tropes guys weren’t kidding when they said mimics are “generally stronger (sometimes much stronger) in battle than the surrounding Mooks in the area”.
Ouch. What a hook. Now I feel like laying tracks, but feeling a little flat-footed. Awwright, let’s see how far and fast the Uncanny Dodge(r) can clipper along once Rusty starts in on the tracks.
Oh, wait, with all the sugar beforehand, is that Acid Reflux or Acid Reflex?
Their ship runs on rails, and is called the Uncanny Dodger? This whole adventure is just going to be giving Mimic snappy material nonstop isnt it?
“Eat rails?”
If he was Scottish, wouldn’t he have a Scottish accent? As opposed to the generic Devon / Cornwall sorta accent generally attributed to pirates in fiction?
If you want to know what Scottish pirates sound like, go listen to Alestorm.
Interestingly enough, “landship” is the real term for certain vehicles that are incredibly large. So large, in fact, that most of them are heavy enough to sink into ground stable enough for smaller vehicles. Knowing this, it comes as no surprise that there are few landships in actual use. Real life landships include:
The Crawler-Transporter used to move the Space Shuttle and it’s booster rockets and fuel tank to the launchpad
Bucket-Wheel Excavators used for strip mining
And several models of hovercraft, one of which is used by the US military to deploy 500 Marines, or up to three tanks, at a time.
“Landship” was also the term used for the earliest experimental vehicles now known as “tanks” or “mobile armor”.

That Mimic has balls of steel, judging by how nonchalantly he’s taking the whole “hook through the lip” thing.
I also can’t help but think of the opening to the Rocky Horror Picture Show when I see him, which increases his awesomeness by a factor of ten.

There’s a TVTropes discussion on Mimics? I wanna s(pend the next six hours on a browsing spr)ee!

It’s like some nightmarish acid trip in a game store come to life.
I love it.

…had to be said…. sorry…

I’ll bet his back story includes lumber jacks, a super glue factory, and a horrible accident.
Shouldn’t it be the Uncanny DodgARRRRR? They’re pirates, after all.
Now dat is awesome!! A Train like Pirate ship. You are awesome.
I think the author of this strip reads Rusty and Co! http://www.gocomics.com/overboard/2012/09/27/
