Backyard Launch Pad
Not everyone can have their very own backyard launch pad. Only the luckiest ones can.
This strip is the second in a five-part series. You can start reading from the first strip here.

I see a rocket on that clipboard. I hope this ends with a wombie going to space.
Pack your own chocolate for the trip because there isn’t any in space.
It would be a lot more peaceful around here if they all went into space!
Hmm, so that was what all the wood was for!!!!
Apparently! And full-sized, too!
nothing wrong with having high aspirations !
The moon is my goal.
And moon chocolate!
A little moon mining will definitely occur.
That’s the way you do it, big goals!
Bigger rockets are definitely better!
Not exactly is an understatement. These guys can sure get messed up in stuff.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
They can be determined in their ways.
So that’s what the timber was for. I’m suitably impressed Binky.
Thank you. I have big plans.
I sense a trip to the moon for more moon chocolate coming up. 😉 🙂
Yes, I figured it was about time to get this project underway.
The sooner the better. 🙂
Time is of the essence!
You’re telling me 🙂 Most of us have had our Space Kits packed for over a year, but now that this launch pad is being constructed I know that we will be blasting off sooner rather than later, which is brilliant 🙂 Well done Captain Binky 🙂
Yes, well, space travel is more complicated than most people realize and I have run into numerous problems that needed sorting out. Hopefully we will soon be on our way.
This is music to my ears Binky 🙂 Yaaaay
There are still a few hurtles to overcome, but I think success is near.
I wonder if Cedric will be joining us, I think that he would need a vast supply of cheese but then I like cheeses too so maybe we could swap supplies 🙂
If he comes, hopefully he won’t eat all the cheese before we get back.
I surely never would have guessed this was the project at hand…
well done, fellas…
🙂
I believe we caught Chris off guard, too. We hoped to have the launch pad tower finished before he noticed..
Wow that structure is almost EXACTLY like my over the air High Def TV antenna! W.C.C.
Maybe I could get Binky to install a HD antenna up there.
Or cell paddles. You could rent them to the cell carriers and make a fortune.
That would be the first time I actually made any money off of the little guys!
Maybe he’ll find more chocolate in space.

Dark matter chocolate is what I’m hoping Binky will find!
We are getting closer to launch than I thought, DARK MATTER and chocolate HERE WE COME 🙂 Yaaay
Yes, hopefully it is now within our reach.
And if not then we can all rely on you to invent a robotic arm long enough to grasp it 🙂
That would be an excellent idea, but I’d better concentrate on the main rocket for now.
Yes robotic arms are one thing but the rocket boosters are definitely more important 🙂 Good thinking that man 🙂
I mean that Wombie 🙂
Perhaps you’d like to work on the robotic design? Engineering help is hard to come by.
Whoaaa….now that’s how you surprise someone 😉
I would have rather kept Chris in the dark, but I suppose he was going to find out sooner or later.
Something THAT big is easy to find out
Unfortunately the launch pad tower needed to be that tall to accommodate my planned rocket ship.
a bit big to keep a secret Binky, and is that Binky bravely stood on the top? Wow!! I’d be scared to be so high without a safety net. 🙂 xPenx
Yes, unfortunately I found out that it was a bit hard to keep it secret.
No that was Winky up there, with Fraz a bit higher climbing the post (slightly to the left).
Luckily now that Fraz is a Vampy in Training his cape would help him fly should the worst happened, of course Winky could always double as a trampoline to save him, and afterwards they could giggle over a feast of chocolates and spam while they reminisced over the experience 🙂 Another marshmallow anyone?
I told Binky we should cover the yard in marshmallows, in case anyone would fall. He didn’t go for it.
I will have a word with him, if we make it scientific enough he might reconsider 🙂
I bet if you added in some tasty equations Binky would go for it! Like maybe X = Yum!
It’s huge!
A big rocket needs a sufficiently large launch pad.
Milky Way, anyone?
This is a good example of “Go BIG or go home.” They did both!
Going big at home seemed to be the best solution.
Yes and a Mars bar please 🙂
And a Milky Way!
And some chocolate space buttons 🙂
And don’t forget Rocket candies!
This is the coolest house on the block!
Not everyone has a rocket launch pad in their backyard. But they should have.
I have set on a team of hobgoblins to do exactly that Binky, hopefully it will be completed soon 🙂
You might get a launch pad before us!
I hope so, then we can test both launches, maybe even go two, three or even fourteen times 🙂 Chocolate in space, here we come 🙂
That’s the kind of space travel I could go for!
Launch pads are easy…rockets not so much
Those are very true words, Mr. Bearman.
Don’t worry Bearman, Captain
Binky is an expert at everything 🙂
Well I hope all my studying and planning will pay off.
It hasn’t let you down so far Binky, don’t worry we trust your excellent judgement 🙂
Thank you. I don’t want to let everyone down.
That might be one small step for a wombat, but one giant leap for wombiekind.
That is certainly my hope! Wombies cannot be confined to this small planet.
awesome! haha
Thanks, Jared.
Have they already built the Rocket? If not then there might not be a problem for a while.
Um, well, there might be a bit of a delay until the rocket is completed. Yes.
Looks really good Binky. You are almost done!
Yes, I think completion is almost assured.
See..chocolates ARE good for the brains too!! This totally makes it a fact!
It’s a proven scientific fact that chocolate is good for you. And one can’t argue with science.
Totally! 😉
🙂
Great work Binky it was about time, we need to explore all the chocolate moons and stars waiting for us to land and taste them
There should be nothing stopping us from achieving our goal now. To the moon and beyond!
They’ve built one right under your nose Chris! I think they might need a little more supervision. 🙂
I was taking a nap! You can’t take your eyes off those guys for a minute!
You should contract them out.
If I could control them I would. The Hyper Wombie Construction Crew.
How did he built that all alone? It’s like the pyramid mystery!! Ahaha one day people will write about it!
I didn’t build it alone. All the Wombies helped. We can build pretty fast when we want to!
Love the perspective of Winky and Fraz at the top!
Thanks, Red. It was hard to get that all in with such a small panel.
