I love that contraption.  Go back and check - the skirt was always there all the way to the ground.

Anyway, there's about nine pages left in this chapter, and some pretty big things are about to change.  Like Ben will lose an eye and wear an eyepatch for the rest of the comic.  He'll curse Mako for the rest of his days and swear to hunt her down aboard his ship, and he'll lose a part of his tongue so he'll only be able to make sounds like 'Yarrrrr' and yeah this doesn't sound likely at all.
