Birthday of Ages
After a certain age, it’d be nice if we could start counting backwards, taking off a year every birthday instead of adding one on.
(This comic strip was previously published on August 31, 2009.)
Androgoth of My Gothic Realm caught Binky competing in the shot put at the recent Wombolympics. You can see Androgoth’s original drawing of Binky In The Wombolympics over at his My Gothic Realm blog.
I just love it when people think im younger than I actualy am. 🙂
I rarely have that problem.
Yes me too 🙂
I agree with you Gooberandcindy! People think I am younger than my younger sister!:)
Is it okay to hate you?
Be my guest, Chris 🙂
“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”
so I guess it does not matter to me if you hate me, hehe! Peace! 🙂
I don’t really hate you, but I’d like to be mistaken for someone younger, too.
Why not hold an unbirthday party along with your birthday party? Every time you celebrate your birthday party, it’s the wombies’ unbirthday party as well 🙂
Does that mean I could start aging backwards? I like that idea!
Man there’s nothing like good friends.
With friends like those. . .
I thought you were about forty nine but I could be wrong it could be fifty nine 🙂
After taking in the Wombies, I think I’ve aged ten years for every one.
Don’t worry I have a collection
of chocolate treats, I think that
you need cheering up after all
the ageism jokes 🙂
Chocolates might help!
I’m sounding more and more like a Wombie every day!
Well you know the old adage… You live with them until you get like them and I guess that you are already there Chris so grab some chocolates, a pancake or some wine gums, I mean if you can’t beat ’em you might as well join ’em 🙂
No! Must resist wine gums and pancakes and change!
I cannot turn into one of them!
H-E-L-P!
You might not have a choice 🙁
I think you may be right.
I’m craving some wine gums right now.
I suspect the Wombies just want a bigger cake 😉
We always want a bigger cake!
Hey Loon are you baking me and Fraz a BIG cake? Mmmm thank you 🙂
So how old are you???? LOL
Since Andro and I are both vampires, we’re a lot older than we look! So make the cake big enough for someone 200 years old. That should be big enough!
Yes and I have been around
since 1420 so I think we need
a much bigger cake 🙂
1420!! You look pretty good for being a million years old!
So how many eggs is that? 😯
Just add about 200 and then multiply by 3 and then times it by 5 until you find a big enough bowl to mix it in, then it is a simple process of just adding the mixture into a suitable cake tin and that’s that, it’s really easy when you know how isn’t it Loon? 😉
I hope you have a super sized oven, Loon! You’re going to need it! Yay big cake!
😯
🙄 🙂 🙂 🙂 yay
A billion and seven!
That’s a good guess!
Oh, I’m sure they’ve just rounded up… a bit.
🙂
A bit!
Kids always think we are soooo old. It’s funny. I thought the same thing when I was a kid.
I guess I did too, but it’s not much fun on the other end of it.
TRES CUTE XX
VERY VERY SWEET XO
and ANDRO – SERIOUSLY – LOVE LOVE THE ART ///////// TELLING U – U AND PDM AND AL THE WOMBIE PAINTERS ARE SUCH GREAT COLLABORATORS
IT’S SO LOVELY TO SEE XO
LOVE
Cat
Thanks, Cat.
Andro’s drawing wins a Wombie Chocolate Gold Medal!
Yes Binky won at least ten Golds, well he is so brilliant at sport isn’t he Peter? It must be the calculations, angles of throw and summing up all the possibilities that got him the shot put Gold so being a great scientist helped him out a great deal i think 🙂
I think you’re right. Binky calculated every precise detail before competing, including the aerodynamic resistance, flight path trajectory, and environmental factors. Who says scientist can’t win Olympic gold?
Wow you know a lot more than me Peter, but then again you have first hand knowledge on Binky and his scientific methods of winning 🙂 I think he is brilliant but don’t tell him or he might get too ahead of himself 🙂
Yes, I’ve been exposed to Binky’s scientific whining for quite some time now. He really can drone on about those things for hours and hours. I won’t tell Binky what you’ve said as his head is already big enough.
🙂 lol
Thank you Cat and I enjoyed doing that Wombolympics one, and I think that it is one of the neatest too, neat as in neater than some of my other offerings 🙂
And it demonstrated my athletic abilities, as well.
Yes I wanted to portray you as a wickedly neat athlete and I think it worked 🙂
Personally, I think it’s your best work yet.
Thank you Binky but don’t tell the Zombie that as he posed for three hours before I eventually got that one right 🙂 lol
Kidding it was about twenty minutes 🙂
I believe most art critics would agree that Wombies are much more inherently appealing than Zombies.
Yes… funny that 🙂 lol
Zombies don’t get much of the cuddly vote.
Ah, a few years off up or down…what the difference?
It’s not the years so much as the decades!
Yeah, I guess that does smart a little bit.
The little furballs have no sense of time.
I hope Binky doesn’t see that comment. He’s a bit sensitive about the furball thing.
Andro did a great job on that drawing. His work always makes me smile.
@Andro! Great work, my friend!
Andro’s art is always very playful!
Hey and thank you too
Peter you are all so kind 🙂
I think the fun you have in creating them shows through in your art.
🙂 I am still trying to improve but that is all part of the fun 🙂
Yes, that’s the best way!
Thank you Deb 🙂
You’re most welcome! 🙂
Ah, but wombats age much faster than humans. Perhaps they’re converting Chris’s age into the equivalent in wombat years ?
I suppose that would make me feel a bit better. The little fur balls.
I’ll be 61 next month. I don’t care though because it beats the alternative. Just saying.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
Still breathing is always the best alternative.
Still breathing on your own is even better.
That’s definitely preferable.
Yes but breathing alongside a gorgeous model is something worth considering too Bearman 😉
That might be nice, too. Anyone know where I can find a gorgeous model?
Of course, just have a look inside my Realm but choose wisely as some of them turn into ghouls after midnight 🙁
Most of the ones on your space are a bit intimidating! If not down right frightening.
Yes that is how I like them 🙂
Yes, well you can probably handle them!
Sometimes 😉
Which is still a lot better than me.
Ahahhhahh 120? Just awesome.

I’m back, my friends!!! 🙂 XXX
That’s very good advice.
Welcome back, Cha! We all missed you. Especially Fraz.
Yes and I have missed you a lot too Cha 🙂
I think Chris looks very young. Seriously guys, you’re guessing to big!!
I’m glad you think so, Kroten!
I’m not even going to guess.
Go on have a guess, it is not lower than forty five and no higher than ninety 🙂
45?? I need a vacation from the Wombies more than I thought!
Well that was a rough estimate, maybe you had not been sleeping much when I made that calculation? 🙂
Sleepless nights tend to be the rule around here. Every time Binky’s basement lab blows up at three in the morning, I find it hard to go back to sleep.
It’s all those rocket gasses that do it 🙂
Or his brain exploding!
I’m glad to hear that!
I’m pleased that you were all able to make Chris feel much better.
He didn’t really seem to feel much better. Everything we do kinda annoys him.
Based on experience…the more annoying you are the more people will remember you 😉
So…Chris will always remembers you guys 🙂
You’re right, Kroten. Chris should never forget me then!
I think Chris looks about 23
Hey Tony are you after an entry into Chris’ Jelly of the Month Club or do you really think he looks 23? Either way you can expect to be eating Jell for a whole year after that one 🙂 Lucky you
JELLY too 🙂 lol
Jelly of the month club?
Yes it’s your way of
thanking him for guessing
your age 🙂
I guess I’m more creative than I thought.
Yay!!! That’s great Andro as I rarely win anything. I hope it’s raspberry or blackberry flavour with a mandatory serving of ice cream.
There is always a large helping of
ice cream Tony so get ready to party 🙂
You are a very kind and wise gentleman, Tony!
and good looking too…
Absolutely!
Wow! He looks great for 120!

Yeah, thanks!
The age guessing game never goes well.
Not for most of us!
with furiends like these… who needs enemies.
That’s for sure!
You know I really have figured out how to mentally beat the relentless progression of aging. I just have not yet been able to figure out how to beat it physically. My mind is still young, but my knees tell me otherwise.
Even though most people are living longer these days, the fountain of youth remains elusive. Though there are a lot of supplements that you can buy that promise great things.
At least most of them guessed a two digit number.
Yes, I guess that’s something.
Wait… If old people don’t get sarcasm… He must be older than 120!!
I get sarcasm, but it’s pretty much wasted on Wombies.
The real test is if you can blow out all the candles.
I have trouble enough trouble blowing out the right number of candles, let alone 120!
You guys should be thankful Chris for keeping you all alive 😉 🙂
I’m sorry for being so late in commenting.
Yeah, I’m the one who puts chocolate on the table!
