Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But words will never hurt me
But they can hurt.
A lot.
Debbie Adams painted a portrait of poor, overwhelmed Chris. Being the human guardian of the Wombies is no easy job, but he’s survived so far. To see the original posting of Chris’s portrait, check out Debbie’s Art Blog.
Ah, the double backhanded insult with pike. Wombie linguistic Olympics… priceless π
Binky could probably win a medal for his insults.
Hey Loon I like your freestyle with butterfly and crawl too π
Why thank you Androgoth ….. you should see my dismount π
I never knew you were mounted.
She hides the pin through her thorax really well.
And she’s surprisingly lively, too!
Ouch !!!
I should have had a come back, but I couldn’t think of anything.
Winky same here, i come up with all witty one liners way after the episode is over….may be we should do a course in sarcastic or funny repiles
That might help! Maybe a course in fast thinking, too.
Yes and if we eat plenty of extra pancakes that will definitely help us to think better π
I’m willing to try that! And the faster we eat the pancakes, the faster we should be able to think!
That is some exceptional thinking there Winky and as we consider that exciting thought why don’t we have some wine gums and chocolate fudge cake π Just to enhance the experience π
That sounds (and tastes!) like a great idea! I think we should work on a recipe for some chocolate fudge pancakes!
That is another wicked idea Winky and as you have the factory, we can look forward to lots of this new production, all we have to do now is to throw in all of the new ingredients and think of a name for the recipe π
I should be able to perfect the recipe at my chocolate factory. I don’t know what to call them, though. Maybe you have a good idea?
They try to make it a bi-weekly affair, thinking.
I think Binky thinks too much.
Ouch that hurts Winky wash it down with a bucket full of chocolates
Chocolates make almost anything better!
Binky! That is fabulous. Sarcasm is such an undervalued art form.
Red.
I wholeheartedly agree.
Winky, maybe Binky can give you thinking lessons. You can have more complicated thoughts!
Red.
Binky has tried to teach me some math and stuff, but my brain just goes fuzzy.
You need the balance of thought and chocolate.
My balance is more on the chocolate end.
Yes mine is too π
I thought it might be!
π
Nice! π
Not to me!
Yes sometimes making fun or insulting people is Fun. Just some won’t admit it.
I must admit there’s a certain satisfaction in the art of the insult.
There is an immense satisfaction to it…when it sails directly over their heads, and they thank you for the compliment. *evil Friday Follies grin*
That’s the ultimate, when they don’t even know what hit them. And they don’t even know they were hit.
Peter overwhelmed reminds me of a Wii Scooby Doo game and Shaggy scared of a ghost.
Ghosts would probably be easier to live with than Wombies.
Aww…poor Chris, if only words didn’t hurt and I’m famous for thinking of the perfect comeback hours later, too! So much good that’s gonna do, right? We need to have some comebacks stored in our little brains for those times they’re needed. And chocolate will help us think! I’m out, though, anyone wanna share?
You can share my chocolates, but I don’t think I have any extra thoughts to share. If I could remember enough comeback lines, maybe I could get Binky back one of these days!
Probably need to write a book of them. Like the crib sheet books you use when you go somewhere where you do not speak the language.
Red.
Sometimes I don’t think I speak anyone’s language. But it would be a good idea to write those lines down when I think of them.
Bwahahahahaha. Yep insulting and then some. Excellent cartoon.
Have a terrific day filled with chocolate. π
Thanks, I’ve already filled most of my day with chocolates!
Binky should save the cuts for the party cake!
There’s a party cake? I didn’t know there was cake around!
You always wear a party hat?
It’s always a party when I’m around! Well, not always. But a lot of the time!
Yes let’s have another party π
We can have a party at my chocolate cabin! Just as long as no one tries to eat my house!
I think that idea is cabin licking good π
Not too much licking, either!
Just think of it this way…When you eat a wall, you are really remodeling and you can write off the chocolate expense!
I never thought of it like that!
You may be surprised where I can apply that boring accounting degree…
It’s not boring when it works on chocolate!
Aw, Winky, better luck next time.
Maybe you could just have a milkshake.
Chris’s eyes look like they may start spinning or something.
A milkshake sounds pretty good about now!
Chris’s eyes look like that a lot when I’m around. I don’t know why.
I guess he’s scared of what you may say or do next. π
I see why you cut off the painting, Deb. By that face, he was scared pantless.
Red.
Well I hope Chris put his pants back on!
Why would he be scared of that?
Ah…never mind. Have a pancake. π
Don’t mind if I do!
I think that we should ALL have a pancake π
We should make that a stack!
Mitch is going to make be a stack of pancakes for dinner tonight….Yay, I don’t have to cook tonight! π π
With a little wine gums on the side, it’s the perfect dinner!
I never have any wine gums out here. π
…but I just finished the pancakes and they were great! π
Maybe some nice person will send you some wine gums!
Yeah, like Santa! π
Or that other mysterious guy that comments on here once in a while.
That is very mysterious…and very cool. π
I know. He only shows up once in a while. Then he disappears again.
Yes, but this person is so kind.
If you say so.
Deb this is a great painting of Chris and so incredibly life-like too π Poor Chris, he never wins with the Wombies around π
Finally some sympathy!
Aw, Chris…I know what you go through.
Have you found a cure?
Not really, but I find if I keep them busy with chocolate, spam and wine gums they stay fairly stable…and I emphasize the word, “fairly.” π
I think that’s about the best you can hope for.
Thanks Andro. π
Loved the comic and the portrait of Chris. I am usually able to think of a good comeback right away, but oftentimes it gets me into trouble. π
Maybe I should carry you around, then.
She is really fun at parties π
Red.
I like parties!
How do you know? π
You mean Red?…Red knows everything. π
She must be like a human Binky, then!
It comes from all the things I see with the eyes in the back of my head π
Well that’s more like Twink!
Boys do not have them…
We got cheated! I want eyes in the back of my head, too.
Are you planning on being a mother? You absolutely need to have them to be a mother.
No, but having eyes in the back of my head might help me avoid some trouble!
You have eyes in the front so you can see where your going, not where you been.
But trouble always seems to follow me!
The pause shows that he takes his insulting seriously. It shows that he’s a craftsman of put downs.
The calm before the comeback increases its punch.
That’s a good comeback. Thanks for stopping by.

I try my best.
I never think… just get’s me into trouble and then everybody just calls me a smart mule but in the Old English sort of way.
Yeah, I think thinking is wasted on the thinkers. Or something like that.
Thinkin’ is what I do most. It makes me fall asleep though.
Eating makes me fall asleep.
“Hey, I’m trying to compliment you here!”
Love Debbie’s picture. I think I’m going to call it “the horror”
They’re kind of the compliments that I don’t need, though.
Wow I wish I could think of clever put-downs like that when I argue with myself!! Cute toon! W.C.C.
Just be sure you never lose. That would be a shame.
Red.
I always lose when I argue with myself.
Yeah, neither can I. I need to work on it.
Binky, be nice for Winky π π
Yeah, Binky, be NICE!!
Careful Binky. Winky is not in a good mood.
Don’t worry. My bad mood was cured by chocolate!
Aha! can we safely called Binky as smart-ass π
I wouldn’t call him that, but yes!
Wow. Binky is so good at insulting, he can do it while complimenting.
Yeah, Binky’s a real pro at it!
Hey, I really like the characters just standing against the white background. That’s a real nice visual change of pace.
Sometimes nothing is more effective than a realistic background. Plus it’s easier!
Yes I think that I will adopt this new-fangled idea on my next drawing, and as a result it will definitely be an improvement π Well maybe? π
Well at least it’s quicker without having to add in all that extra detail!
Well put.
I thought so.
Brrrr . . . Cold . . . so cold . . .
Deserved, though.
Chris looks like he could use some chocolate. And maybe a vacation.
I could definitely use both!
oooh… burn!!!
It did!
I guess Winky can’t argue with that.
That’s the trouble with one of Binky’s insult/compliments!
Ahahah Binky!!! Awesome.
I wish Binky would keep his awesomeness to himself.
Thinking always gets me in trouble. So I do less as possible.
I like to think less, too!
Man, he just sets himself for a few good free zingers. π
Everything I say is a set up for Binky!
Binky is a champ. Even his compliments are burns!
Yeah, I can do without those compliments!
