The Adventures of Captain Hawk

Making a Myth

Everyone has read at least at least some of the Adventures of Captain Hawk. The comic series started in 3197 and since then has become the single most popular comic of its type. It earned attention gradually, with spikes in interest based on real-world events involving its namesake pirate. Its popularity comes despite, or perhaps because of, its rough art, elementary plots, and archetypal characters.      

Unknown Origin

Every page of the comic and website is attributed to C. Hawkinson, but no one knows who that is, or if they even exist.   When the comic first started, the prevailing belief was that C. Hawkinson was a child whose art was being posted by and for family. Anyone hoping to expose the mystery author met counter-measures from others seeking to protect the assumed-child's privacy. That theory has largely been disproven by time. A child's art would improve with time and practice. C. Hawkinson's has not.   The most popular theory today is that Captain Hawk himself is C. Hawkinson, sanitizing his own exploits for public consumption. Captain Hawk has little to say on the matter, aside from expressing his appreciation of the comic.

Telepaths either haven't ascertained the truth, or haven't shared their knowledge.   Outside of Captain Hawk, the only beings who might know the truth are is first mate Brady, who would sooner █████ than answer a question, and his parrot, Captain Squawk, who demands payment and only provides jokes in exchange.
