He seems to be a strange mixture of Long John Silver and Captain Hook (Long John Hook). He is lacking the three other pirate cliches; earrings, an eye-patch and a parrot.
When did pirates become cuddly? Every Children's playground or adventure activity place seems to be festooned with pictures of these thieves, murderers and looters. Its a bit like putting pictures of Peter Sutcliffe in a nursery.
I blame R L Stevenson and J M Barrie myself.
A very occasional photographic miscellany. If you found this you got here by accident. Clicking on any of the photographs should take you somewhere else. Unfortunately the 'somewhere else' is most likely to be another viewing of the same photograph you just clicked but on a different web page. Good here isn't it?
