Nautical Unravelings

Have you ever wanted a sculptural dream transcriber? Captain Eyser Cutt-Knot finds one in this Sci-fi Graphic Poem. He calls this a telamite, or telepathic termite. In the evenings it carves his wooden legs into little pillars of wisdom. Over the years the captain created a library of these prosthetics with emblems of enlightened intent, telling a widdle-dee-doo way to unravel the mind’s own mutiny, which is helpful to keep the unruly crew in line at high seas.
