*grin* Okay, maybe he was a whaler! That actually fits, right? And they're definitely like pirates...
The timeline is about as specific in the comic as it is in the pages given here, which kind of leads me to think that it's intended to be set semi-recently. As I said to amarynth, while a lot of it can be explained away, I have a feeling that if Matatoa was supposed to be a whaler, he would have been called a whaler; if that scene was supposed to have been set well into the past, it would have been explicitly set in the past; if Matatoa was supposed to be an Aussie, hence kookaburra, he would have called himself an Aussie. (That "kookaburra" really seems to me to be trying to add a kind of "native" flavour to his dialogue. That the culture kookaburras are native to is totally different to any of the other cultures he seems to be representing really reads like a mistake to me.)
