ABOS91 Standing Orders

Another previously unpublished cartoon.
Every ship had Standing Orders posted up for all to see, informing the crew of the rules that governed that particular ship in the way the captain preferred.
Os cannot read, yet, so Abie is helping him out, but not improving him.

ABOS90 Targets

Another previously unpublished cartoon.
Seamen were encouraged to practice their small arms skills, in order that they may play a useful part in any actions such as boarding or cutting-out skirmishes.

"AB & OS" is a cartoon following the colourful lives of two sailors during the time of the Napoleonic Wars (1793-1815). The strip has been regularly featured in Warships IFR magazine (Published monthly) until recently. I'll be adding new cartoons here as they are published.

Hopefully, as well as putting a smile on your face perhaps you'll learn a little history of the period so be sure to read the descriptions for each comic if something zooms right over your head like a jumbo jet.

And check out the Roots page for Abie and Os's background, the Come Ashore page for a bit more fun and the Naval Stuff page for a bit more learning. If you want to spend some money, then the Shop page or the Donate button will be of interest to you.
