Stupid Pill
Far too many people these days are taking a stupid pill.
(A slightly different version of this comic strip was previously published on September 9, 2010.)
Curious young wombats looking for something good to eat (from the Sleepy Burrows Wombat Sanctuary website.):
I probably take a similar pill. I wonder if it is has a generic version yet?
I think it must as most people seem to be taking it these days.
I’m ready for version 2.0.
You want to be more stupid?
Another year where Winky has no use for algebra.
Algebra is not my friend!
Winky knows if he continues to
get his sums wrong that Binky will
give him some chocolates, not a
reward for being less brainy, but
to keep his Wombie brain working
faster, and Winky is an expert at
chocolate invention so at least the
creativity is stocked up very nicely.
Taking the stupid pill is sometimes
a wise choice isn’t it Winky? 🙂 🙂
I’d like to say that was true. But it kind of wasn’t. But I like how you think and I’ll try and remember that for the next time I want some more chocolates!
A very short video Peter
but worth watching that’s
for sure 🙂 I like how the
two little one’s are allowed
to nosy in the fridge like
that 🙂 Very cute indeed…
Have a brilliant Thursday Peter 🙂
The wombats are very curious, and know where the good stuff is kept!
This explains a lot about congress.
Governments couldn’t function without it.
Yes, so many are taking the stupid pill. Double dosing some of them.
I want a wombat. They are adorable.
Have a fabulous day my friend. 🙂
I think you’re right about the stupid pill, Sandee!
Winky, your brain is working overtime!
It is! I think I need some more chocolate!
Winky just needs more chocolate!
You’re right I do! I always need more chocolate!
Rolling in a wagon full now!
Thanks! I need extra in this cold weather!
….and some hot cocoa
That warmed my tummy!
It comes naturally for some people.
I think I’m one of those people!
Hey in the video did you see when the camera went up a bit there was a box with squeezy tubes of yogurt with Coles printed on the bottom of the box? They are made at the factory I work at here in Tasmania. Part of my job is to pack them into the boxes.
The red Coles box is your brand of yogurt? That’s pretty neat, Tony! Maybe you packed those very ones. Apparently the wombats aren’t supposed to eat it, though.
Coles is one of the big 2 dominant Supermarket chains here in Australia. It’s not our brand but we manufacture their brand of yogurt for them. On top of our own brand we make a whole range of brands for other companies
I didn’t know Coles was a supermarket chain. I guess many companies make different brands of their products for various stores or retailers.
I am somewhat confused by the multiple flavours in the one box. though as we only pack one flavour per box, so you would buy a box of vanilla or a box of banana etc. Maybe they bought a box of every flavour & resorted the box themselves.
You don’t offer a variety pack? They must have done as you said, then. Unless some unnamed yogurt packer had a creative streak one day.
Oh I forgot about the comic. I see no problem with Winky’s calculations. As Foghorn Leghorn once said to a cat on the subject of worm division, “That’s mathematics boy, Ya can argue with me but ya can’t argue with mathematics”
Oh look at the time. I gotta go to work now & pack more of that yogurt
You wouldn’t happen to have any chocolate yogurt, would you?
We make twin tub yogurt for Nestle. They have one tub with yogurt & one with chocolate bits that you mix into the yogurt. The varieties are Maltesers, Smarties & Kit-Kat
That sounds like my kind of yogurt!
I can’t argue with math, either. Or Binky. I always end up losing.
Math & Binky tend to be like that Winky
I can imagine Foghorn Leghorn saying “Listen Boy, ya can argue with me but ya can’t argue with Binky!!!”
I can imagine that, too! Though I wouldn’t want to argue with Foghorn Leghorn either. I’d rather just share some chocolate with him.
I’m sure an algebraic equation can prove Winky to be correct. 😉
Sure, if you say so! You wouldn’t happen to know one, would you?
Makes sense to me 🙂
Maybe you can explain it to me then!
I think I’ve taken this pill before! 🙂 And those wombats are adorable!
We all have our moments!
Emoticonics 101
I probably could use that course!
That’s funny that they got in the ‘fridge. I guess they were hungry. 🙂
I think they were looking for their carrots.
I have no idea how my refrigerator stays cold with my Wombie going in it all the time…..cute video, Peter!
Maybe a revolving door fridge would work better for you?
That’d work
I’ll see what Binky can do.
I’ll be looking forward to it.
I’ll volunteer to be your fridge door until Binky makes you that revolving one!
By the time I open the door you will have eaten everything in it.
Hey Winky doesn’t need no stupid pills to get his sums wrong! Cute video 🙂
Yeah, I can do that with no help at all!
I accidentally slip one of those stupid pills in on occasion. My New Years resolution is to kick the stupid pill habit!
Stupid pills are kind of hard to stop, though!
Adorable Wombies in the video. I wanted to see a happy ending where they get to actually eat something!
They usually end up eating carrots or sweet potatoes. I’ll post one of those videos later.
I think that too many overdosed with it… and far too many stupid before taking one.. should we spell the stupid in bold letters….?!
I think you’re right, Doron. And far too many people are addicted to it.
If he does that on his achievement test, they’ll fire his teacher.

Is that the way the system works these days?
I wonder if I can say something like that to my students when they answer the questions wrongly
I’d like to be there if you did!
