People can get a little obsessive about checking their messages.
Just nine more days until the tenth annual Wombat Day! If you’d like to celebrate with the Wombies, you can bake a wombat cake, or a wombat brownie, or make some wombat fudge. Add some wine gums, pancakes, and milkshakes, and you’ll have a party fit for a Wombie. Just don’t be surprised if a few wayward Wombies show up at your door looking for some treats and a good time.
Come on Chris, a wombie is impatient at the best of time.
I agree Loon, you would
have thought that Chris
would have known that 🙂
Happy Monday Loon xxxx
I’m in denial. No I’m not. Yes I am!
Chris is kinda a slow learner.
Psst That car doesn’t look like the best you can buy….just saying
How did you get here before me
Loon, hmm… Camping out at the
Wombania Chocolate Trophy room
again 🙂 lol
It worked though,
now where’s my test? 🙂
Have fun today Loon…
Andro xxxx
Yes, Loon gets the first place trophy once again. Second place isn’t so bad, Andro.
It was the best car I could buy, 30 years ago.
Great cartoon Peter, I like how Fraz is holding up his paw in disbelief, obviously Chris looks dead to him, actually he does look a bit vacant to me too 🙂 lol
Wake Up Chris Fraz Texts
Need Your Maximum Attention…
Thanks, Andro. Chris may not be dead, but he might be in a coma.
I like the idea of a Wombat cake Peter,
but would there be any left for me, that’s
an important question around here 🙂 lol
Everyone needs their own individual Wombat Day cake so that no one gets shortchanged. No one shall be left without cake around here!
OMG I can’t wait until national Wombat Day, I have been counting down for AGES. Wombats RULE!
Just a little more than a week till the big day, Pho! It’s certainly the most anticipated and most important day of the year around here.
I am beginning to wonder this myself!
Maybe Chris is really a zombie!
That reminds me, I have to check my messages…
Don’t wait 15 minutes like Chris!
….Lol “Are you sure.”…lol
Yup, I have to go with Fraz on that one.
It’s kinda hard to tell if Chris is dead or not. He doesn’t really move much.
I’ve noticed that about him. He always hides behind a newspaper.
That’s exactly what he does! Maybe it’s because he doesn’t want to know what’s going on.
He’s scared of what might be going on. He don’t have control over his house anymore!
And there’s more of us than him! Maybe he’s scared of us!
He is…
Cool! I’m gonna sneak up behind him and say BOO!
Cool! Let me know what happens!
I scared him real good!
But then I had to go to bed early.
I see, so he does have some control around there. But geesh, just for saying Boo….what a poor sport he can be
I know! It wasn’t my fault he spilled his coffee all over.
Well the sudden boo likely cause that, but that was no reason to send you to bed early.
Friday you get to stay up later than usual….says me.
Yay! I can’t wait till Friday! I’m gonna watch the late late show with popcorn and pizza! And two of your milkshakes too!
Yes, people can be so connected it’s frightening.
Oh it’s Wombat day again soon. Way cool.
Have a fabulous day. 🙂
Yep! Just a week until Wombat Chocolate Day!
What was life like before technology? I can’t remember.
There was life before technology?
I wonder if I got a text while I read this strip? I better check!
Maye I sent you one! I can’t remember!
HaHa! Chris is my kind of guy!
Once, I let my wife use my phone for the day (hers broke) and she said it was making noises the whole time from all the tweets!
I hope she didn’t break your phone!
No, but she broke my heart by eating all the chocolate! :OP
That’s worse than anything!
Hey, Peter! I’m so excited! Do you know why? Because I Googled Wombat Day to see if it was a real thing and it was. So cool!
I thought about how lucky you are to have your Wombies have their own special day.
But then I felt sad because I wish there was a monkey day for my Wacky Monkeys. So I searched it and there is one! December 14th is the unofficial Monkey Day! Yay!
More chocolate fun!
Of course it’s real! Did you think we would mislead you? Did you see where the top link leads to?
It is rather funny though, because I was with a group on a forum when we came up with the idea of Wombat Day, and someone named Wombat decided on October 22. And so it’s been that day ever since.
I’m glad your Monkeys have their own day, too. Do they celebrate that with chocolate, or just bananas?
Monkeys celebrate with chocolate dipped bananas! On a stick! :OP
Wow! I didn’t know you were involved in creating Wombat Day! That’s amazing!
I have to admit, I didn’t check the link above. I’ll go do that now. Wouldn’t want to get my chocolate privileges revoked!
Frozen chocolate-covered bananas are pretty good!
The creation of Wombat Day was just for fun, but it has taken on an unofficial status, and was mentioned in Australian Geographic. Wombats need more recognition, and it’s a good way to get them a little attention.
That is so cool! There’s something about cartoonists and the creation of certain days: The creators of Monkey Day were art students! I think they made a comic about it. Then, as your Wombat Day, it grew from there.
That is pretty interesting. We need to get together and plan World Takeover Day! Artists united for a better, more chocolatey world!
Texting with the dead. It’s probably going to be next.
Zombie texting! That would be fun! I think.
Fraz, I know I’m at least 100 years older than you, buy the speed of tech doesn’t equate with everyone. I think we’d have to all be in the same rocket, we may have to ask Binky. What happened to peopl answering the phone & talking? Like I said I’m old, so I Sympathize with Chris on this one, buddy.
I guess Chris is like you then. Maybe he shouldn’t even have a phone. I don’t ever see him use it. And talking to someone is like so ancient history!
Hilarious that Fraz sends a text but is standing next to Chris in person asking about that text.
Happy ALMOST Wombat day Fraz!
I’ll be sure to celebrate.
I only talked to him because he didn’t answer my text. Chris just doesn’t get technology.
Wombat Day is the funnest day of the year!
I’m not too good at technology either Fraz but I do love chocolate and will most certainly celebrate Wombat Day!
Keep on being you Fraz. You are delightful!
I hope you get a big cake and lots of chocolate for Wombat Day! That’s what we get!
A very reasonable response these days!
I thought so! But Chris is alike a caveman or something.
Sounds like what my kids say to me.
I can’t wait to see you post wombat pancake pictures.
How did you know? It’s a great idea, but I’m not sure mine will turn out anything like what the Beatles did in your post.
Unfortunately this is considered true! You are considered dead if you are not connected. 🙂 Love the creation.
We all have to be online and connected 24/7 now. No time to rest!
Happy Birthday Peter 🙂
I hope you get lots of
CHOCOLATE and yummy
Panckaes, Wine Gums,
Marshmallows and all the
very best 🙂
Fraz and Winky will be
after your chocolates 🙂
Andro
Thank you, Andro. Yes, I’ll have to hide my goodies if I hope to have any for myself.
My husband has an iTouch and it’s as bad as a phone. He reads news, checks email, etc. incessantly all through dinner (at home or out). I wish they were never invented (said with a huge very nice smile). 🙂
They have definitely changed how people communicate (or don’t) with each other. For some, online is becoming more real than real life.
many happy returns Peter – don’t let the wombats eat all your cake !
Thanks, Duncan. I think it might be too late to save the cake, though.
Good one, Peter, and so in tune with life nowadays…all this new technology that is supposed to connect us more is more disconnecting. 🙂
Thanks, Lauren. It is strange how our technology connects us and disconnects us at the same time. I don’t know where it will lead us.
C’mon Chris, everyone nows you’re supposed to check every 2 minutes
I’m lucky to check it twice a day.
I’m like that, I rarely get texts & when I do it’s either Michelle or my daughter
You wanted me to do what? I never got your text.
I rarely checked my mobile too…just like Chris
I’m glad there are some of us!
Every page I visit here you celebrate your birthday… so you do all year round like me… Happy Birthday! I must go to charge my phone there is a romour people send messages.. I see you on another page.
Maybe that’s why I’m so old. I have too many birthdays every year! My real birthday was a day after this post. The other post was where I put up Deb’s picture she made me for my birthday, and a lot of people thought that was my birthday.
