The World of Warships-themed 3-panel comic strip series Naval Nonsense is celebrating its one-year anniversary this month, and as part of our little celebratory shindig, we want to give YOU the means to weave new misadventures for Captain Salty McGraw and sidekick Lt. Tate R. Smith. We provide the panels – you provide the imagination!
Naval Nonsense is a weekly comic strip series crafted by World of Warships' resident memesmith The URL Guy. Check out a new comic strip every Sunday at the World of Warships Twitter.
