George was a pirate, but he wasn’t a very good pirate.
Some say there never really was a George.
They say that George was a made-up character that other pirates would wear as a disguise so they could do all the things they couldn’t do as themselves.
Kind of like how Andy Kaufman and Bob Zmuda invented Tony Clifton, an obnoxious drunk lounge singer.
“You never see George in the same room as Rummy Bill,” people would say.
So Sneaky Peter dressed as George and was seen with Rummy Bill.
George watched all this and laughed.
And became Tony Clifton.
