I could be totally off base here, but in my rereading of OUII, I saw something that made me blink and double take.

Uncle Time?

Just something I found mildly specworthy.

Hmm good point, it has also been speculated that the sailor was hC's Roberts

Perhaps he is singing part of the "Riddle of Uncle Time"? I dunno, I'm not too good with poetry. Has someone deciphered the lyrics to that song before?

The whole song (starting from the previous comic):

"What fools are we sailing
these Oceans Unmoving
on teknokon sails
and on souls we be using.

Until the commands
from the hourglass sands
say NOW you be done,
not the time of your choosing.

Our drinks be fermented
our moments be rented,
we share the same fate,
whatever we do.

Doomed to be stolen
until yet awakened
through time we be taking
from paupers like YOU!"

"You can't float to heaven
without time for travelin'
so with any luck
we'll all die today.

Plank-walks and keelhauls
under sparkling star-falls
fighting like weasels to escape
the Long-Gray!

Fighting like eels
for waters and meals,
but we share the same fate,
WHATEVER WE DOOOOOOOOOOOO."

It's just a little diddy about life in Timeless Space. I don't see any connection with Uncle Time.

It's a confusing song and this is PETE. It could very well be the clue to timeless space. Or the riddle. Whatever. It's late.

While it would be supremely cool if the pirate had been Uncle Time and if the song lyrics had hidden significance to the Riddle, Mewtarthio's right... there's nothing there. The two characters just happen to bear a slight resemblance.
