The less you know, the worse it seems. Especially when you have Wombies.
This is one of the few sequential series I’ve done for Wombania. This comic strip is the first in a five-part story.

Faster! Don’t stop! They’ll be into the tools by now.,
They get into things faster than lightning!
sometimes it’s best NOT to know !
I’d probably be a lot happier that way.
Hahaha! This reminds me of my kids. Sometimes the discoveries came too late!
Kids will be kids! And Wombies will be Wombies. Just hope they don’t get together.
Ha, ha! Good one! I also like the running motion you added to the last panel. 😀
Thanks, Bill. A little blur helps the effect, though I don’t know why I didn’t use motion blur.
“Oh nothing,” always means something when a Wombie says it!
To live with them is to know them!
I wonder if all chocolate fiends are like this? 🙂
Most Wombie chocolate fiends seem to be.
🙂 I think there are a few Zombies joining in that train of thought too Chris, indeed the chocolate dripping from those ghoulish chins could easily feed a party of ten 🙂
If there has to be Zombies around, I guess ones who eat chocolate are a lot better than ones who will eat your brains.
I love the expression on Chris in the third panel, and the motion of him in the last panel. Excellent work!
Thanks, Deb. A little blur can go a long ways.
Yes, and in this case it makes him look like he is running really fast.
I Was!
Hey I just said that too Deb, ahhh yes but
great minds think alike me thinks? 🙂 🙂 xxxx
omg 😯 Chris!!
Run, Run like Bolt or may be faster than him, before the hammer sees a nail
I have a feeling I won’t be fast enough!
You won’t be 🙁 But never mind there is lots of fun coming your way next and all you have to do to enjoy this new adventure, is to be there 🙂 I bet you feel a lot happier now don’t you Chris? 🙂
Oh yes, wonderful. Life is an adventure with Wombies.
It sure is Chris 🙂
I could use less adventure sometimes.
I’d be running to find out what they are up too as well. Yikes. You’re going to tell us right? I thought so.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
I think most of us would be! Yes, this is a five-part story, so there’s more to be revealed.
I don’t think when you hear those words, you can run fast enough.
I know I can’t!
shhhh they are making me a present
Maybe you’d like it?
This present has a rocket motif and alien technology, I hope that you will like it Bearman? 🙂
Perhaps I could make Bearman a special rocket. . .
Yes something with green on the
top should add some character 🙂
Okay, I’ll make the nose cone green in Mr. Bearman’s honor.
That’s an awful lot of lumber… looks like it’s going to be BIG!
🙂
It better not be! But probably is.
Be afraid, be very afraid!
I am! Very very afraid!
With some people the less you know the better too… though I suspect it’s nicer to be around wombats than those particular people. 😉
It might be nicer, but it probably is crazier!
Aw they are just building a chocolate stand. of a rocket launch pad.
They’d better not be!
They say that what you don’t know can’t hurt you but that is not true. Look at all the innocent bystanders that are hurt in accidents and collateral damage from things that aren’t accidental. They didn’t know the people that caused them to get hurt.
We should be like the NSA. We need to know everything…just to be on the safe side.
Maybe Chris needs to install a monitoring system so he can watch the Wombies at all times.
That would be a good idea. Then I wouldn’t always be blindsided by their craziness. I need to install a WMS (Wombie Monitoring System)!
Do they have chips?
No, they wouldn’t let me. But I still think it would be a good idea! Then at least I could track them.
They’re going to go improve 8-Bit nerds I bet.
8-Bit Wombies?
That idea might be a bit to blocky.
too… I really need to spell check.
Actually, we would use 64-bit technology. Anything less would be undignified.
Run, Chris, run! sounds like it may be a “boys only” thing 😉
Hi Faythe, I need to get over to your Space soon too 🙂 Space travelling is one of my favourite hobbies 🙂 xxxx
Mine, too. If I can ever get out there.
Don’t worry Binky, the adventure begins very soon and you are the pilot, I just hope that your navigational skills are as accurate as your rocket design 🙂
Well yes, I do wish to return!
oops, I meant “wombie” only thing, whewwwww!
I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a Wombie-only thing. But I know whatever it is, it probably isn’t good!
Bored? Wood work would work. Board!
With sufficient boards, one can never be bored.
Hole-y crap 😯 They aren’t going to box the Fraz again?
That would be a comforting thought, if they all boxed themselves in!
Don’t worry Chris the Wombies have plans that include you, actually I am sure that it will be extra special, or is that extra-terrestrial? 🙂
I don’t really think now is the time to tell Chris. He seems to get upset no matter what we do.
Yes I noticed that too
Binky 🙁 He needs to lighten
up a bit me thinks 🙂
I believe he does. Locking him in the garage didn’t seem to calm him down, though.
Yep. Ignorance is bliss!

It is until it explodes in your face!
But the explosion is going to take them out into space. Isn’t that an equitable trade-off for you, Chris?
I don’t believe it’s a one-way trip, though. Just a short break from them.
Panel 3 says it all.
And it’s probably not good!
He better hurry. 🙂
I’m hurrying as fast as I can!
Idle paws are the Wombie’s tools.
Yes, and I think non-idle Wombies may be even more dangerous!
Yeah, those words are clues that he’d better launch a full-investigation very soon. 🙂
I’m hot on their trail! I hope.
Binky’s reply is good reason to be worried. I really like Chris’ expression in panel 3 Peter.
Thanks, Tony. Sometimes the expressions actually work.
I drew a completely dialogue free strip on the weekend & I think it worked well
They’re hard to do. That’s why I avoid them! I look forward to seeing yours.
I will be over to your page soon Tony, I have much to catch up on but I am looking forward to catching up with Cedric and Co 🙂
The expression on Chris’ face is excellent, shock, horror, as always this is such a brilliant comic strip Peter, but then this is the very high standards that you achieve with every idea 🙂 Awesome…
Thanks, Andro. You are always too kind.
I know that your imagination is limitless, these comic strips prove that and with so much energy and style 🙂 Your Space rocks my great friend 🙂
Thank you, Andro. I definitely need more fans like you!
Aaah!! I should have read from this part first 😉
I know how Chris feels. I have a very active nephew and when he becomes quiet we all start calling his name because that means he is up to no good
Yep, that’s the feeling! Maybe your nephew is part Wombie?
Hmmm…that’s possible! He does love chocolate very much!
He sounds like a little Wombie to me!
LOL, that’s a good one. I live that life. 🙂
Life on the edge! Sometimes it’s exhausting.
Just like Novroz I should have read this one first, BUT, at least I haven’t missed out. ‘cos the expression on Chris’s face is a must see!!! 🙂 xPenx
Thanks, Pen. Sometimes the expressions actually work.
There is a kind of surreality reading the building of a rocket launchpad from the end …lol.
That’s an interesting observation, Shree. Maybe I should have posted them in reverse order.
I shouldn’t read a story from the end :/
Apparently, quite a few people have!
When your kids tell you that there’s nothing to worry about….WORRY! 🙂
Your kids, or your Wombies. Especially your Wombies!
Muahahahah Chris’ face!!!
He looks like that a lot around me!
Chris’ expression is priceless. Love the motion of the last panel. I get that feeling when my children (and Wombies) are quiet for more than two minutes… ever.
Expressions are rather limited, but this one seemed to work. A little motion blur applied in photoshop or the like can be effective.
About the only thing I use that sort of blur for is to create reflections and the appearance of ice.
I’ve never used it for that. Good idea, though.
