It’s absolutely 100% free for everyone who can pay for it.
Wombat lover Debbie Adams created her own wombat character and named him Wilbur. I think he might give Winky some competition in the eating department. You can visit the original Wombat Wilbur over on Deb’s art blog. (Click on the picture to see a bigger version.)
That’s a real bargain
you got there Winky 🙂 lol
I thought so too!
That’s a brilliant drawing there Deb
well done 🙂 Wilbur looks awesome as
usual my great friend xxxx
I think I should take Wilbur out for a pizza. He looks kind of hungry.
You don’t mind if I tag along do you, oh and Fraz, Binky, Twink, Chris, Zoe, Deb, Dave, Doron, Loon, Tony, Bearman, Lauren, Miss. Novia, Rosey, Joseph, and the fifty thousand other great friends and fans of Wombania 🙂
No, but I guess I’m going to have to order their extra-large super-mega giant deluxe jumbo pizza!
Thank you, Andro! 🙂
You’re welcome Deb and keep up the awesome work, you are a brilliant artist 🙂 Oh and chocolate fudge milkshake maker 🙂 xxxx
Aunt Deb makes the best milkshakes ever!
Twink is really giving Winky a look there Peter, mind you with a $29.99 delivery charge is there any wonder? 🙂 lol
This is the awesomeness of
your cartooning my great friend 🙂
Hey what? Androgoth you beat me 🙂
Maybe Andro will share his chocolate trophy with you, Loon.
Yes Peter, I will share it with everyone that wants some 🙂 How do you mean that’s everyone in Wombania then? 🙂 lol
Plenty to go round, everything chocolate is generously offered here in Wombie land 🙂
I’m going to have to make that trophy larger, I guess.
I know it is a rare occurrence but yes Yaaaaay I did it, I got the chocolate 1st prize trophy 🙂 Better luck next time Loon 🙂 xxxx
Savor your victory while you can, Andro!
Thanks, Andro. Twink likes to give those looks to everyone.
I fall for that everytime
Fall for what?
Yes spill the beans
Loon, fall for what? 🙂 xxxx
I think maybe she doesn’t know either!
I got some thing free for you Winky! All you have to do it drink it…..a big milkshake!
Oh boy! And no shipping and handling charges, either!
Nope, 100% free…no string attached.
Just yummy goodness attached!
I got some free brownies for you too!
No, I don’t want them. I’m full.
Haha! Just kidding!!
Of course you are. I think you have a hole in your foot….eat up!
I don’t think I’ve ever been completely full! And even if I was I could make room for your yummilicious brownies!
I’ve come with more goodies!…Brownies, fudge and milkshakes!
Oh boy! Thanks, Deb! I needed a little boost after my nap!
Thank you for posting Wilbur, Peter!
You’re welcome, Deb!
🙂
He is very handsome, Deb xxx
Wilbur is!
As an Ebay seller, I loved the “Handling” added charge to shipping. 😀
I guess expert handling has to be paid for.
Bwahahahahahahahaha. That’s not free at all.
Have a fabulous day. 🙂
Well it was supposed to be free!
That’s where they get you everytime!
And I guess they got me!
Free is in the eyes of the labeling.
Well it said it was free!
I bet Winky was up late when he made that purchase. For some reason every deal looks better then.
I was! And they do!
I make all kinds of purchases at night. Then reality sets in by morning time!
Late night TV is the best time get really good deals!
Yes but they run 24hrs a day now so not always easy to catch the best deals, but not impossible 🙂
You can watch late night TV 24 hours a day now?
Wilbur looks very classic. I think CS Lewis should write him into one of his Narnia novels. What’s old CS doing these days?
Wilbur does look classic. But I think CS Lewis might have other things to think about now.
He really needs to put something out more often than every 60 years.
Publishing deals are probably a little sparse where he is.
Is pushing deals like pushing daisies?
It might be, but I said publishing deals, not pushing deals! That sounds as if if might be illegal.
What a great deal! At least it wasn’t $30.00!
Yeah, then it wouldn’t have been free at all!
Free can get costly at times!
Especially with shipping and handling!
Exactly! Nothing is free! (except webcomics)
We need to do something about that!
Yeah. Now why did I get into this? Haha! :OP
Maybe we could form a Webcomics Alliance Union!
What a cutie. Some people can pull off a little weight.
Sometimes plump is cute!
I like plump! It just doesn’t look good on me!
On me it looks natural!
On you everything looks natural, especially when you go around eating cho0colate and wine gums all day and night 🙂
It takes a lot of good eating to keep up my shape!
Nothing is free, Winky, and at least you know now! 🙂 And Wilbur is adorable; Deb did a great job and it does look like he has already had his fill of chocolate, too! 😉
My chocolate is free at my factory! Wilbur has been camped out there for a while.
Well then I don’t blame him! 🙂
Neither do I! I like to camp out there too!
I ordered a book two months ago. They told me the shipping date and the arrival date. I waited 3 weeks after the book should have arrived before I contacted them.
They handled the situation well and sent me another book without charge.
So, last week the book arrived and today the second same copy arrived. If I send them the book back, the shipping will cost me the price of the book.
So, I either keep two books for the price of one or I keep one book for the price of two.
PS: It was sent from Canada to Germany. I think Germany didn’t get on the ball with sending me the package because they have had so many *questionable holidays lately.
*A lot of people don’t go to church here but they will use church holidays to take several days off work.
That’s strange. I don’t know where you ordered your book from, but the exact same thing happened to me a couple of years ago. After telling them the book never arrived, they sent me another one. And then of course I ended up getting two within a couple of days of each other. I told them (Createspace), and they said just keep them both. So I did. If you didn’t open it, you could probably cross out your name and say return to sender.
Just keep both books, Dave. And next time wait a whole year before complaining about anything late! :OP
If it’s a food book, he could eat the evidence!
I’ll keep the wait a whole year in mind for the next time. 🙂
I could never wait that long!
I opened it. D’oh!
Book Outlet is the company I ordered from. I’ll just give one as a gift since that is pretty much what it is.
And the other one can be a gift to yourself!
Book Outlet in Weland? Really? ! I used to drive down there to get books. It’s about 40 minutes from here. I bought quite a few comic strip collection books from them.
That’s a good idea sending it back that way, and it enables the company not to lose out on the sale 🙂 How ingenious Peter, you learn something from the Wombies every day but then everything in Wombania is a great learning curve 🙂 Nice ideas like yours do not go unrewarded 🙂
It usually works, though with larger parcels sometimes the package won’t end up going back to the sender (it usually says so on the package or customs form).
Looks like someone paid to get handled.
Maybe I did!
Buyer beware.

Sometimes I could be more aware!
Bargain Winky!!! You can keep the item you bought & get your money back by selling the postage & handling for a profit. Surely someone will pay $40 for it.
I’ve noticed that on Ebay that sometimes the cheaper item with the postage works out more than the dearer item with free postage.
You think so? Maybe I should try to sell it! Though I did kind of want it. Maybe I could sell it to myself!
That’s because it is a good idea to make the purchaser feel as though he / she is getting something for nothing and including the postage gives that impression, of course it doesn’t stop the retailer adding extras on to cover his / her postage so then the item can become more expensive, maybe even by design, but perhaps not 🙂 Who knows?
You also have to consider duties and brokerage fees if you buy something from out of the country, which can add a considerable amount to the price you end up paying.
Oh my goodness, I saw Wine Gums in the grocery store today. I’ve never seen them. Ha! I was so excited I wished I had my camera. I’m becoming a wombie nut!
They’re pretty rare in the US as you know. They must’ve sneaked over the border when no one was looking.
Hey next time try and buy some, you
won’t regret it Rosey as they are delicious 🙂
Super scrupt-deli-licious!
I have a free comic I want to share with you, Binky…
Is the shipping and handling free too?
Nothing from nothing leaves almost $30!
And that’s what I was left with! Nothing!
That tricky fine print is so easy miss.
Yeah, I always miss it.
Good deal Winky but what’s in the box?
A super duper deluxe mega fast MP3 player!
That is a super selling technique.. I just made a note.. I’ll do anything for a freebies now a day… Deb is such a clever artist…
Freebies are always great! Even if you have to pay for them!
I love mine to come in blue and orange hope that is not extra free.
This website is free and it’s blue and orange!
Deb is always painting or drawing something nice.
Yeh she is so good I bet if we research we find that she calls herself deb fo short… she must be ‘Van Deb’ or something very similar…
I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find that she is the famous lost painter Van Deb!
Doron you have found the secret
to Deb’s awesome talent 🙂 Well done
I love FREE! but $29.99 does seem a bit high… unless it was 50 #s of super rich chocolate… then, maybe 😉
http://grammymousetails.blogspot.com/2014/07/thoughts-for-independence-day.html
You can always come to my factory for free chocolate, Faythe! It’s always 100% free and no shipping and handling charges!
I’ll take 5 #s… that should last a day, and add 20# to my waist line ;P !
We Wombies don’t have that problem! Well, sometimes we do. But chocolate is worth it!
I’m in great shape! If like the round shape.
That’s my shape too!
Oh dear…you got cheated Wink!
That drawing by Deb is awesome.
It sounded like a pretty good deal at the time!
It is those stinking shipping and handling companies that stick it to you every time. What with $3 for postage. Those are some expensive hands they put on things.
Shipping should be free! But I guess they have to make their money somehow.
You pay for it with the spam you receive, or wine gums in your case. 😉
Next time I’ll try to pay for it in spam!
