Puzzle Description:
A pirate, with a skull and cross-bones on his hat, an eyepatch, and an fierce mustache. Sorry, couldn't fit in the parrot.

For some reason, this also looks like a gorilla to me.#2: Gitte Olesen (granny40) on Nov 19, 2006 [SPOILER]
Funny to puzzle. Great pirate. Thank`s.#3: Timothy (relic10) on Dec 20, 2006 [SPOILER]
Great pirate!!#4: Patricia de Andrade Mota (kaba) on Oct 15, 2007 [SPOILER]
I saw the gorilla almost to the end.#5: Sarah Andrews (sarah) on Nov 8, 2007 [SPOILER]
Excellent! Too bad the parrot didin't fit.#6: Shallyn (shallyn) on Feb 10, 2008 [SPOILER]
I also saw the gorilla until I read the spoiler.#7: Arduinna (arduinna) on Feb 11, 2008 [SPOILER]
Weird! I didn't see a gorilla at all!#8: Tom La Sota (tomlasota) on Mar 3, 2008 [SPOILER]
Working from the bottom up, I thought it was a robot tractor from some space game until the very end.#9: Jan Young (haidapup) on May 23, 2008 [SPOILER]
Loved it!!!! Great looking pirate!#10: Rea Aksglæde Karlsen (Rea) on Jun 13, 2008 [SPOILER]
before I finish the hat and eyepach I thought it would be a musketeer#11: judy (jbreese) on May 3, 2009
Who is Captain Archibald Haddock? Or rather, why does Wikipedia send you to his page when you ask for a definition of Yar?#12: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on May 13, 2009 [SPOILER]
Enjoyed this very much!#13: Byrdie (byrdie) on Oct 1, 2009 [SPOILER]
Gorilla? Hmmm....ok, I can see one now...arms akimbo, flippers on his feet. lol
This was fun to solve. Mine solved mostly from the edges in and my friend looking over my shoulder asked if it was a cowboy. I never saw a gorilla.#14: Al LaPointe (kancamagus) on Feb 11, 2010
Great puzzle, thanks! I had lots of fun with the white space.#15: Josh Greifer (joshgreifer) on Mar 18, 2010
Great fun#16: Kylie :) (misty) on Mar 31, 2010 [SPOILER]
Strange, this is blatantly a pirate to me (and a very nicely designed one at that)... I'm trying but not seeing anything else... haha.#17: Diana W (aeris) on Apr 17, 2010 [SPOILER]
Awesome puzzle!
I kept seeing Captain Crunch while I was solving it. ^_^ I had to try really hard to see the gorilla after reading the comments. Love the moustache!#18: Beth (Shasta) on May 6, 2010
great thanks!#19: Teresa K (fasstar) on Jun 18, 2010
Wonderful!#20: Linda Martin (ilovethispuzzle123) on Oct 13, 2010
love it! absolutely fun to solve and great image.#21: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 20, 2011 [SPOILER]
Hmm, I can see the gorilla...sorta... I knew it would be a pirate, but the hat made me think "fireman" or "bobby." He could have a nightstick and say "Yar, wot's all this, then?"#22: karl (keicher) on Apr 7, 2011
one of the best puzzles i have come across.#23: Edith Clark (eclark) on Jan 16, 2012 [HINT] [SPOILER]

Fun puzzle! I didn't see the gorilla until I read ozymoe's "arms akimbo" -- thanks JoDeen. And, Jan, the parrot is clearly implied. LOL. :o)#25: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Aug 6, 2013
How did I miss this jewel? Thx Jan#26: Velma Jones (cj) on Nov 26, 2013
That was a lot of fun!#27: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Nov 25, 2016
Great image in a relatively small space. Fun solve.#28: jewel crown (Jewel) on Jan 23, 2017
Awesome!#29: Susan (Susan) on Jun 30, 2017
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! And very fierce! Very enjoyable puzzle!#30: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Feb 15, 2023 [SPOILER]
It looks like all pirate to me -- I had to really work to see the gorilla.#31: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Jun 11, 2023 [SPOILER]
Wow, that moustache!
Yes, Valerie, that mustache is straight from Kenneth Branagh's Hercule Poirot in the 2017 movie Murder on the Orient Express
Magnificent and luxurious!
And what a great picture and solve!
