| "The Bilge Duck owes his origin to a crazy bunch of influences: Daffy Duck; time spent in the bilge during the XO's "clean up ship days"; Pablo Pickasshole; and "Carp Chronicles". Carp Chronicles was an underground paper created by a couple of Nukes on our cruise from Norfolk to Pearl. "Carp Chronicles" was
funny, timely and sorely missed upon its demise. While Pablo Pickasshole brought humor from the Nuke perspective, something was needed to fill the void for forward. From the depths of the bilge, emerged The Bilge Duck and Son-O-Midwatch Funnies. Like "One Day In The I.O." & Carp Chronicles, The Bilge Duck's Son-O-Midwatch Funnies were an attempt at depicting the more humerous side of a very serious business. "We really needed to be reminded to laugh at ourselves sometimes; otherwise it just got way too intense."
