After School Snack
Snacking between meals can lead to unforeseen consequences.
(This comic strip was previously published on May 3, 2010.)
Androgoth drew a picture of this year’s Wombat Day celebration on October 22. The original drawing can be seen on Andro’s Wombat Day 2012 post.
Fraz, you just got owned!!!!
Oh and if you aren’t eating the popcorn do you think I could have some?
Hi Loon 🙂 xxx
Yes save some for me too Fraz 🙂
Hey Androgoth xx back at ya 😉
Hey right back at you again too Loon 😉 🙂 xxx
You can have some too, Andro.
Thank you Fraz I will 🙂 Mmmm
Eat up!
I always enjoy yummy popcorn 🙂
Especially the flavored kinds Winky makes at his factory!
Yes and as a bonus I like
chocolate on mine too 🙂
Me too!
Sure, go ahead and have some, Loon.
Yeah, it was kinda embarrassing!
to expect the expected and be greeted with unexpected, how unexpected
EXACTLY!!
Poor me.
Poor Fraz, he never
expected that to happen 🙁
Nope!
You have to expect the unexpected.
Especially when girls get mad!
Never mind we still enjoyed the popcorn 🙂
But it had a bit of a funny taste to it.
Thank you for adding my Wombat Day 2012 drawing Peter I need to get some more done soon 🙂 I hope you are enjoying a nice Turkey or ten 🙂
You’re welcome, Andro.
While the American Thanksgiving is the fourth Thursday of November (today), the Canadian Thanksgiving is the second Monday of October.
That right, today is our celebration feast…cooking up a storm now! 🙂
And attracting Wombies for miles around!
Have a good Thanksgiving, Deb!
Thank you, Peter, we had a very nice day today, and Dink and Tink was not left out when Tink decided she wanted to roast a spam. She made lots so there’s plenty for all the Wombie’s here too.
Roast Spam with all the trimmings! A Wombie tradition.
They stuffed themselves and it lasted a whole hour before they got hungry again for more….an hour is a record breaker for Dink.
Yes, an hour without eating is quite remarkable for certain Wombies we know!
I know, but Dink is back to his constant eating today.
A Wombie stomach never stays full for long.
That sounds like something Binky should be studying…
When he not eating.
I wouldn’t mind studying that! It’d be fun trying to fill my tummy!
Well allow me to get you started out right with this 40 lb double, trouble, extra thick chocolate cake with triple frosting than an average cake…topped with wine gums to make each bite last longer.
Think of all the uses for something so elastic!
Thanks, Deb! That should keep my stomach busy for at least the afternoon!
My stomach may be elastic, but I’d like to keep it myself!
Then I better bring you another for this evening as well…see you then, but please, take this large chocolate milkshake to help wash it down.
Ah, Winky…it will stretch back to you.
No, no. Just use the principles…not the actual stomach!
I like milkshakes! Especially with lots of cake! Thanks, Deb!
Oh, okay. That sounds better. I’d really kind of like to keep my stomach!
Well lets take care of it then by feeding it some grilled spambo burgers to warm it up…nice and hot right off the grill.
My tummy will never complain about being fed! Especially by you!
Winky, I’ll tell you the same thing I tell everyone else that eats at my table….”if you leave hungry, it’s your own fault.”
I have some chocolate popcorn…want some?
Well you don’t have to worry about me leaving before the food’s gone, that’s for sure!
And I’ll take that chocolate popcorn!
That great. I hate to store leftovers. Seems like only parts of them ever get eaten up.
I brought you some chocolate butter to put on the popcorn. And a tall chocolate cola!
Did someone make me king? They must have! You’re certainly giving me the royal treatment! Thanks, Deb!
Your king right now…but don’t tell Frazzy okay, I don’t want him to get upset.
So, now that you’ve finished that cake, and likely the popcorn, are your ready for your evening cake…I know it’s a bit early where you live, but is almost 6:00 pm here. I’m sure you won’t mind. But this one is 50 lbs.
And I brought you some very special wine gums too…there very rare since they are chocolate wine gums….100 lb bag. But you have to share with your friends.
Of course I’ll share! You’re very generous! That cake and wine gums should last us until bedtime! And we’re on the same time as you. But it doesn’t really matter because it’s always eating time to me!
I forgot, come to think of it, PDM did tell me that once before…I get forgetful sometimes.
But I didn’t forget to bring you a big bag of choco marshmallows for you to have with your morning choco milk or shake.
A morning milkshake sounds great! I guess I know what I’ll be dreaming of tonight!
Sweet dreams.
They certainly will be!
I think I’ve completely lost my mind, Mr. M…
for some reason I was thinking you were much farther South… as in… Pacific-ish! Maybe that has something to do with all the wombats running around over here. Or… you know… my original thought. 🙂
No problem, Robert. Most people think that I’m Australian for some reason. I have no idea why. You really think it might be the wombat thing?
I think it is probably because Loon is always the first one here 😉
It could be. She’s an early Aussie bird.
LOL! What time do your posts go out?
12:00 am (midnight) Eastern Time.
Ooo. Mid-afternoon for Loon 😉
Loon gets it easy. It’s a lot more difficult for Andro to be first.
Andro has to be burning the candle at both ends to do it. o.O
Which he seems to be quite good at doing! My candle’s barely smoldering at one end.
Yes HOW does she do that? 🙁 lol
Loon has the advantage of Aussie times zones!
The wombat thing is just what did it for me, I think… but… well… I have a very… um… ‘creative’ way of reasoning through things, you know. To put it nicely.
🙂
I think that’s what does it for most people. Just think of the Wombies as plump groundhogs then.
Trust me to get mixed up Peter but hey let’s join in with the Turkey eating, I am sure that there will be plenty left over for us 🙂
That’s understandable, Andro. Our Canadian Thanksgiving doesn’t get very much publicity compared to the American version. But any turkey day is a good day.
Only because you do not hold it the day before the biggest shopping day of the year. You really should talk to them about scheduling it better. 😛
We’re definitely no where near as skilled on capitalizing on such things. We’ve only recently started having our own Black Friday sales in an attempt to combat cross border shopping.
I despise that name. I retired from the world’s largest retailer and hate the day has a name known the world over. It was so much better when it was still the day after Thxgvg.
Our biggest sales day traditionally is Boxing Day, the day after (used to be two days after) Christmas.
I guess it’s all in the marketing. Everything needs a catchy name.
I always thought Boxing Day was better bargain-wise. If there are any left, you can get what you want cheaply, as opposed to being conditioned for what is on sale in advance.
Those sales are still major sales days, but it seems with online places everything is on sale someplace almost any time of the year. And the irony is that most of us do not need any of that stuff anyway.
It is why I am always done shopping in August.
You mean your Christmas shopping? I’ve hardly thought about it yet.
The plan is very simple and outlined here.
I guess I’m a little late for that plan this year! Hey, it’s one month till Christmas!
I posted that the day after C-mas last year. It is the best day to start. Think of the Boxing Day sales. 😉
You’re right, it is, but I just find it difficult to plan that far ahead.
Last year, by shopping after the holidays, I finished all of my shopping and wrapping before I took down the tree. It is cool not to have to be wrapping things in November/December. More time to enjoy the parties and the eggnog without burning the candle at both ends 😉
It certainly is a smart thing to do. I’m just not sure I could really get into the spirit of things for next year. Maybe if I did it with this year’s spirit.
It is the only way. Ride this year’s spirit until just after New Year. It works with the tree still up and plenty of leftovers. Oh, and eggnog. Mustn’t forget the eggnog 😉
I’ll see if I can muster up the sense to do it.
I like eggnog, but it tends to disappear pretty quickly around here.
Momma bought some really slick single serving ones bc Poppa cannot have but a drop. I asked her if they were creamers *grins* (about 4 ounces)
The gang here would probably go through a whole case of them before they even whetted their whistle.
I agree how about a few sarnies for lunch, I’m buying 🙂
I’ll be right over!
Andro that was a lovely fun party and we want more 🙂
Yeah, Wombat Day should be once a month!
More like once a week 🙂
That’d be even better!
Thank you, and I always like a bit more too Soma 😉 :)Actually I will have to get drawing something again soon 🙂
Like a drawing of me eating chocolate!
Yes I will try that one next 🙂
A really BIG bar of chocolate too 🙂
A Wombie-sized chocolate bar! Or maybe I should say Winky-sized bar!
Does anyone make chocolate Wombies, like the chocolate rabbits and ducks we have here?
They do make chocolate wombats in Australia, but no one makes chocolate Wombies yet. Maybe I should make some in my chocolate factory!
I think that is a much better idea than cake for Womat Day. IJS
It would be if I could sell chocolate Wombies to everyone! People can make their own wombat cake, but it’s harder to make your own chocolate Wombie.
That is a premium idea. 😉
I wonder if Fraz will sit still long enough for me to make a mold of him.
Oh! Is Fraz going to be your model for the chocolate Wombies?
Everyone seems to think he’s cute, so I figured he would be a good one to start with.
That is probably a wonderful idea. Especially if you are going to use white chocolate for his spots…
Why yes, of course I was! Well, okay, I wasn’t, but it’s a good idea. Fraz is kind of milk chocolate colored to start with.
You could make him in milk chocolate, toffee and in a cafe au lait flavor…Mmm.
Multi-flavored Fraz! Maybe I could make him in pirate flavor too. But definitely not Zombie flavored.
Will pirate flavor be something like rum? Mmm.
That’s a good idea. Fraz could be a butter-rumball!
Poor Fraz, I guess you have learned first hand that there is more than one way to get served.
And I hope he learned his lesson!
Fraz is a fast learner. 🙂
He can be when it’s to his advantage.
I have two just like that.
Typical boys!
😆
Just think, Twink, picking up that popcorn will be good for his hand-eye coordination as well. Another bonus 😉
And maybe that will get him to think about being a little more polite, too!
We can always hope. I find the immersion method rather effective 😉
That’s often effective for those reluctant to listen!
Just be careful. It seems ppl frown on the immersion method when you use water. 😛
Some people will always find something to complain about these days!
I agree Twink now where is my extra helping of popcorn, and did you say that you were making me some more pancakes, and where are my wine gums? 🙂 Always someone complaining I know 🙂
I don’t think you want to be wearing your food, too, do you Andro?
I think he rather enjoys wearing some foods, although I doubt pancakes are one of them 😉
I don’t think I want to know.
I adore this drawing you did, Andro!
Thank you Deb 🙂 xxx
You are welcome, my friend. 🙂
🙂 🙂 🙂
Andro is great at creating and documenting the party scene 😉
He certainly is. He should host all the parties for them! 😉
That’d be a great idea! Andro knows how to throw a Wombie party all right!
The Gothic Realm could be the party headquarters, and it could go on tour to Deb’s and Cha’s and Nov’s and M3 and everywhere else Wombies play.
Excellent idea, Red! 😉
Hard to argue with that! Wombie parties everywhere! I can’t wait!
Wow I never thought of it that way, here have some more turkey and I have a surprise for you afterwards, it is one of my special recipes just for you 😉 Mmmmmm
Thanks! I needed an after breakfast snack!
He certainly does. He comes up with the most fun idea and treats!
Andro does! But you come up with lots of great ideas, too!
Yes, she does. Have you even figured out all the gadgets in your cabin?
I better pay attention to his answers…he may need a little help.
I wonder if he is like other males…did he read the directions?
@ Red
If he does read them he miss out on some awesome stuff!
I don’t usually read directions, but I did for the food creator because it’s too important to mess up!
Hey Red I saw that 🙂 lol
Are you directionally-challenged?
I figured out the chocolate walls aren’t for eating pretty quick! I patched up those holes. All the army stuff is good for when I play army with Fraz. It wasn’t too hard to figure out. And the treats were easy to figure out, too.
If you ever decide to add on, just put a new layer of chocolate on the outside. You can eat the inside layer, and the house will be bigger 😉
That’s sounds like a very tasty way to add on an addition!
You have another room behind the wall…remember?
In that other room you have a clone scanning device. For you it works like this: Pick a photo of a food that you like, and scan the photo. It will make you the food, and record the information on the image. Then whenever you want that food you just press the picture button it creates for you on the extra large key board…you can make thousands of different foods or food flavors in any shape and size you want. All this info came with your cabin…refer to if for further instructions.
http://adamsart.wordpress.com/2012/06/15/winkys-soundside-chocolate-cabin/
I do remember that! Well, actually I don’t remember it, but I printed out all your instructions and read them whenever I get a bit confused. But I would never forget about my super-duper deluxe food creator!
It’s how I make all my midnight snacks whenever I’m at my cabin!
I was just thinking about adding an addition for a games room.
A game room would be fab! Just what you need for you and Fraz to play in…it will keep the rest of the place more tidy!
We can have all our video games set up with a big TV and everything!
Oh, thank you, Winky, but Andro has got an extremely creative mind you know. It would be quite a task for me to out do him.
I don’t know! You two are both pretty great at coming up with fun ideas!
That is very sweet of you, Winky! I’ll have to reward you with something special. Can you tell me what you’ve been wanting lately?
I don’t know! You’re always giving me everything I want! Fraz got a Nobel Prize. Maybe I could get a degree in Chocolatology!
Ah, the study of chocolate…that’s a big one. I will look into that for you, Winky!…You deserve it, because I don’t know anyone that knows more about chocolate than you!
I know a lot about chocolate! Plus I eat more chocolate and make more chocolate than just about anyone!
Yes, and your should be recognized for all that too. I would surely make mention of it to your in front of all the public so they know….Your like a genius Winky!
I’m not like a Binky genius, but I’m a chocolate genius!
What a yummy title, Winky!
I like it!
Hi Winky! 🙂
Don’t be late for your graduation…
http://adamsart.wordpress.com/2012/11/27/doctor-of-chocolatology/
I’ve finally got my degree in chocolatology! I couldn’t have done it without you, Deb! Thank you!
You did all the work, Winky! All I did was get you enrolled in the University and house you till you finished your education! 🙂
And inspired me and built me my chocolate cabin and made me my chocolate factory and helped to keep me going and studying with all those milkshakes and pancakes!
Oh that, well that’s because I like you, Winky!
Oh, and speaking of milkshakes. I’ve got one here made out of only the choicest chocolate ice cream and chocolate milk….triple thick!…with a chocolate cover cherry on top of a mound of chocolate whipped cream.
For me?? That’s great, thanks! I hope you’re having one, too.
Of course, Winky. I wouldn’t let you drink your shake alone. 🙂
A smart mouth can also lead to unexpected consequences. Bwahahahahahahaha.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
I just wanted my snack!
I like popcorn for a snack too Fraz 🙂
So do I! Especially when it’s chocolate popcorn!
Yes let’s have a choco popcorn party next 🙂
Sure! With wine gums, too, of course!
Mmm Chocolate is fabulous on caramel corn. I am getting hungry!
So am I! Well, I’m always hungry, but now I’m hungrier!
I hope that we are having another party soon 🙂
My stomach says we should have one now!
Why would she do that! You were just hungry..
I know! Girls are crazy sometimes.
Looks like she met your expectations Fraz. Now ya just gotta eat it all
I think she coulda been nicer about it!
My grandmother used to say the food was not good unless you wore some.
She must’ve been fun to eat with!
*Grins* She was. Especially when it was time to food fight 😉
They don’t allow that around here! That’s another reason why I should come live with you guys down there!
No doubt. We have all sorts of fun. 🙂
I bet you do!
I wouldn’t mind having some fun too 🙂
We need to have a party at Red’s!
OK, so I will host the first of the holiday parties. We have some yummies planned.
Yay! Your party should be awesome!
We are going to be making turkey cookies and pies this week. It is a good place to start.
That’s cookies made to look like turkey, not out of turkey, right?
Oh-Oh, Fraz… I guess you learned the hard way not to be too impatient. even after a hard day at school learning stuff Twink was able to show you one more lesson… now most of your snack is on you, not in!
But I get enough learning at school! I don’t want to learn anymore when I get home!
Well, I do not think you will soon forget this one. Did you have any popcorn left to eat, or have to wait until supper time?
I probably won’t forget!
I had some popcorn to eat, but not enough!
Fraz we need to ask ourselves one thing again and again…DO WE REALLY NEED A SCHOOL?
Is there anything eating chocolates and playing out cant teach..may be there is but who wants to learn that ?
Not me! Plus they don’t teach you the important stuff in school. Like how to be a president or a pirate, or how to treasure hunt.
You learned how to draw maps, right?
Well, umm, maybe.
And you learned about miles and meters to know how far to go and dig. Did you learn about weights? I bet you could tell me how much the treasure and the chocolate weigh, can’t you?
I guess they might have. But they still didn’t teach me enough about pirates and sailing!
You will learn more about pirates in history and sailing in physics. 😉 You will get there.
I think I’ll be in school forever!
It will be over before you know it. Want to know a secret? You will even miss it when it is done.
I don’t think so!
I will get your books ready Fraz, noooo not for school I mean ready for another chocolate recipe, and we don’t want those stinky Zombies around either 🙁
We need more fudge, so we should make that. And we’ll keep the doors closed!
Well, Fraz, I hate to say it, but I’m with Twink on this one!!
Fraz definitely got what was coming to him this time!
Oh No cant a wombie ask for food now? what has the world come to? Thank God we have ANDRO and his lovely parties…
Fraz we got to protest, if going to school isnt traumatic enough!!!
I know!! My life is full of trauma! School trauma, and being told what to do trauma, and doing chores trauma, and never getting to do what I want trauma!
I can feel another party coming on soon Soma so get ready for plenty of those wicked treats 🙂
Is the party gonna be at your place?
Yes okay but we will need some stronger traps making up to keep those stinky honking and smelly cheesy Zombies from eating all of our pancakes 🙂
Zombies are kinda a problem around your place. Maybe you should move to a safer place?
I think Winky could make some chocolate brains. It would help get the zombies in the traps.
I could make a mold and make lots of chocolate brains at my factory!
Do you want to use the mold I make Jell-O brains with?
Sure, that should be great! Thanks!
You get jello brains, too? You get all the fun stuff!
My children adore Halloween. We do all sorts of fun things all year. You would love Little V’s science book. The name of it is “Gross Science”.
That would be a book I’d like!
Gross Science sounds interesting to me Red I wouldn’t mind reading that one myself, perhaps I will learn some new baking ideas 🙂
And maybe some anti-Zombie experiments!
Her last project was a shrunken head. I am certain those would scare off the zombies. Not enough brains for an appetizer.
That might work. But I hope you don’t want to shrunken head anyone of us!
LOL! We do not decapitate anyone. We have a strict no zombies rule.
That’s a relief!
Too many expectations Frazzie…. 😉
I expect you’re right!
With all the packaged snacks you think he would just go into the pantry and help himself.
Help myself? I don’t know what you mean.
So you are telling me you need to be fed like a baby bird and don’t know how to open a package of wine gums?
I can find the good stuff myself! But I’m supposed to eat healthy junk.
There are lots of healthful foods which are tasty treats…
I like popcorn when it’s not dumped on my head!
How about some chocolate coated sprouts? 🙂
I think you can have all of those, Andro.
I think he needs to change his Great Expectations for the next time. 🙂
I now expect to expect less.
Expecting nothing means you are never disappointed.
I guess so, but that’s hard to do!
Sometimes it is sad when we don’t get what we expect but it can he dangerous if we get what we deserve.
I think I’d rather get what I want than what I deserve!
I remember eating a half a box of cereal when I got home from school every day.
Wow, that sounds good!
You fall into the category of an after school serial eater, which is better than murdering some toast 🙂
Toast is good with Nutella!
Yes I will have to get some more of that, it’s ages since I had Nutella on toast 🙂
How can you have toast without Nutella??
Because you have it with scrambled eggs or turkey a la king or gravy, mmm gravy.
I’m an almost king, so I should like turkey a la king!
It is so yummy. Little V and Little Bear had to tell Beau there was not enough for him yesterday. You would have loved it.
I think I should mail myself to you!
Must be one size fits all.
Because I’m pretty sure I’ve tried that one on before, too, Fraz.
😉
A bowl’s not the best thing to wear though!
It fits better than a lampshade 😉 Or a dunce cap.
I’d rather wear my pirate hat, though!
Why not paint a Jolly Roger on bowl?
If I have to wear a bowl, that would make it better!
You can’t say he didn’t get what he deserved. 😉
I could say I didn’t deserve it!
I guess if I did all that fussing, I’d be expecting that too.
http://joycelansky.blogspot.com
Well I wasn’t expecting it!
I absolutely love Fraz’ “ambassador” hand. He must have been paying attention to the body language portion of debate.
I don’t think Twink liked it too much, though! “Don’t be so demanding!” is what she said.
That is the hand politicians use so they appear not to be pointing fingers. 😉
I’ll tell Twink she should be liking my hand then!
But he sure deserved it!
No I didn’t!
This gives me all sorts of ideas. Love it.
thanks for the giggles.
Don’t tell your victims where you got the idea!
Hmmm…what makes Twinky that upset? is she having her period?
do Wombie has period?
Umm, no comment.
Hahaha…you are a shy man Uncle Peter 😉
Aww… sympathies with both.
That’s what I need! More sympathy!
Looks like someone left their patience in the microwave too long.
Twink always gets over cooked!
Yep looks like he got what he was askin for. I feel that way sometimes when i get the kids off the bus. and no, they are not my kids.
What do you do with the kids you get off the bus? Rent them out?
I think Fraz’s right. As always.
I didn’t expect that either.
Poor thing.
Yeah, poor me! I always get dumped on because I’m the youngest!
I love Andro’s drawing. 🙂
Andro’s drawings are always a lot of fun.
Too much expectations can hurt 😉
You’re telling me!
I like that approach… I should try that!
It gets their attention!
