While the plum job on an airship is - of course - the Captaincy, with that cool hat and the riding crop, there are any number of other important and prestigious positions on the airships of Retropolis.

Cooks, for example. The crews who swarm over the gas bags and make speedy repairs. The stewards who serve travellers and empty the ashtrays in the pigskin-lined smoking compartments. Cabin boys. You get it.

And then, of course, the incredibly important and yet underappreciated job we celebrate here today. Because at some point, just about any airship needs to gain altitude in a big hurry. And there are only so many ways to do that. So here, salute the unsung heroes of the skyways: Ballastmen. Provided at reasonable rates by Geo. Postlethwaite and Sons. No returns; sorry!

This is once again a T-Shirt design ( [link] ) for my Retropolis Transit Authority site. Providing uniforms for Ballastmen since, oh, about twenty minutes ago.

I spent forever trying to find out how to set this darn signature, and now I can't think of anything to put in it.

Do you sell any ballastmen insurance?

Would these be laden or unladen ballastmen?

I don't suppose parachutes are part of their uniforms, hm?

Check out my webcomic, Fatherhood! Laugh at the smart-assery, applaud the beatings I receive for it and marvel at how my wife hasn't outright killed me. [link]
