The shape of the island reminds me of two places…
The Vasquez Rocks (famous for being in a lot of movies & TV – it’s where Captain Kirk fought the reptilian Gorn captain in Star Trek for example)
The house on Elliðaey (also known as “World’s loneliest house”)
No. Although the island in this comic is heavily modelled after Elliðaey Island, she lives on a completely different island, which just also happens to be called Elliðaey Island. Like Iceland has so many islands they couldn’t come up with two different names?
Sure, there are even countries where you can buy a car licence for yourself without ever driving a car. And in most cases your home country accepts these licenses too if it is not to old.
There is in Kentucky, in the US. Any boat with a built in motor, or an outboard motor above a certain size, requires a license to operate legally. The boat depicted on this page would require a license.
Depends on where you live, in Maryland you’re required to pass a boating safety course and get a certificate in order to legally be allowed to pilot a boat in state waters.
It is alternately called a “Boating safety certificate”, a “Boating license”, a “Boater education certificate”. Three US states *do* have a boater’s license, the others still require you to know the signs, signals, and waterway navigation conventions on top of the safety rules.
Can’t wait for this arc to not reveal absolutely anything about Steven. Then have him get some ancient documents and rip them apart while saying “Borf”
Their boat seems to have a radar system, but no radar reflector that would increase their visibility to other ships under instrument navigation situations. Did they accidentally rent a drug smuggling boat?

This is probably going to end in bees…

Not the bees!

Nothing a huge infusion of BEES can’t solve!

Hello, bees!

Strangely enough GPS has stopped working, and the compass is spinning randomly

Also, there’s no reception on anything, even the satellite phone.

They’re going to Björk’s island?

Apparently, Tara has proficiency in Vehicles (Water). Who knew?
Tesh
Of course the island isn’t on any maps. You need a “guide” to get there.

…Wait, you can get a boat license without ever having had to drive a boat? There’s no, like… practical test?

Cobalt
That just seems bonkers to me… How can you get a license for driving a vehicle when you have never driven said vehicle?
Maya Marrione
Illegally most of the time lol

I am anxiously awaiting an island full of Stevens.
Eli
Tara’s “They can’t get everything right” cracks me up 🤣
Also, Steven in the lifevest 😍
Exolite
I fully expected the island to look like steven.

Getting a boat license without having driven a boat is even funnier when you consider that there’s no such thing as a boat license.

In my country you can get a captains license/certificate. You’re not required to have one though.

Yep. my state (Oregon) has that req.
“A person 16 or older will need a boating education card to operate a powerboat (including a PWC) greater than 10 hp.”
riba2233
Of course there is, US is not the whole world and author is from Europe.
Toenzy
Well of course the island didn’t show up on maps; they should have checked an Admiralty chart!

Is that Jared Leto’s cult island?

The name just made it so much funnier.

At this point I won’t even be surprised if Steven was Cthulhu’s pet…

3 hour tour.

Mysterious fog? Check. Not on any maps? Check, Ominous atmosphere? Check. Let the Steven adventure begin!
Zerker
Nort must’ve been playing dredge lmao, this plot looks great
Nico
Looks a bit like St Kilda. That’s a long way to go on a small boat though

I would trust no life vest brand more than Boaty Floaty (TM)

Love how their life jackets have “Boaty floaty” on them.

stonehenge, where the stevens dwell

I can’t wait for the island to be seen from above and it’s in the shape of Steven’s head
