Built-In Entertainment
Depending on what side of the glass you’re on, some people are a lot more entertaining than others.

Throw some popcorn at him.
It might be fun to see him jump.
I bet once he gets hungry and has to go to the bathroom things will get very entertaining.
That might be rather amusing. Well, maybe not for Fraz.
I’d watch him for at least twenty minutes….
Maybe you’d watch him longer if we trained him as a circus clown.
Can he breath in there?
He can now. I just drilled some air holes.
Ha!
I was just about to say I was afraid it wasn’t just the glass / glare… Fraz might be turning blue due to lack-o-air!
🙂
Fraz is always complaining about something.
I was gunna mention Fraz’s bluishness but you beat me to it.
Perhaps I should enlarge the air holes.
Hehe! 🙂
I can hardly breathe! Make the holes bigger! So I can escape!
Give the screen and ole kick a roo.
I did! I think it’s Wombie-proof glass!
Change the channel!
I wish I could! Maybe I could put Winky in another box.
No. I don’t this so. All you would be watching was him eating chocolate. On the other hand…that could be an interesting program.
I don’t think so…not this so….just saying.
Watching Winky eat would be pretty boring.
No, never! This is the family channel.
No it’s not it is the Wombie channel 🙂 And what a great show it is too Deb, well I always like to switch on whenever I get the opportunity 🙂 Come on Fraz tuck into this cake, there is a file in it somewhere 🙂
The Wombie Channel: All Wombies, 24 hours a day! In fact, always the same Wombie, 24 hours a day.
Yay, a file! Now where do I plug it in?
No Fraz this is a manual one so get filing, I think you should be out of there in about 30 days or so but don’t worry there are lots of chocolates out here for you 🙂
Manual? Oh. okay. I’ll see if I can figure it out.
I’m going to need those chocolates if it takes me 30 days to get out of here!
Well you could be out
even sooner if we all help 🙂
Then I hope you all help! I’ll share my chocolates with anyone who does!
I never realized that that is what makes a TV work!
This is definitely low-tech TV. But it is live.
He should be happy that they didn’t combine it with an aquarium. 🙂
You’re right, it’s a good thing I didn’t think of that.
But it’s clear in your mind now. 🙂
I could give Fraz scuba gear and fill it with water. . .
Through the glass Frazly.
Hopefully the glass is strong enough that he won’t come through the glass, though.
Talk about a mess to clean up…
Red.
I like to make messes, but I don’t like to clean them up.
I get the “built in”. Now where’s the “surround”?
I suppose you could say Fraz is surrounded by wood and glass.
More like a ‘Walled-in’ entertainment center!
From Fraz’s perspective.
Actually he looks like he is in an aquarium. Can he swim? Or maybe I should ask does he have gills?
Fraz is not really in an aquarium, he’s just under glass.
It might look a little fishy Will but Fraz will be getting out of there soon, well maybe? 🙂
LET ME OUT!!
Don’t worry Fraz I am bringing you some chocolate eggs, a nice selection of wine gums and lots of pancakes to put you on until we can get you out of there 🙂
Thanks, Andro! That should help. Maybe you can cook a file or saw into those extra-big pancakes!
I have just brought you a big yummy cake with a file in it so it shouldn’t be long before we get you out of there Fraz, even Binky has offered to help so how about that for a great result? 🙂
The cake was great, but I still can’t figure out how to use the file. And Binky doesn’t really seem to be helping much!
You must have eaten the instructions 🙁 Don’t worry I will draw a diagram for you 🙂
Thanks, that’ll be a big help!
Unlike Binky!!
I am working on Binky and I think he is coming round to my way of thinking, mind you that lorry load of chocolate pancakes I delivered earlier is helping a bit I think? 🙂
That should do it! No Wombie can resist chocolate pancakes!
Hey Fraz it worked, you are free 🙂 Now where are those chocolates that you were going to share with everyone? 🙂 Just kidding Fraz your chocolates are your own so enjoy them 🙂
No, you deserve to share my chocolates since you helped me get out! I’ll get my extra-special Belgian chocolates and we can have a feast!
If I told you that all of your private chocolate stash was about to get stolen would that give you a strong enough foot to kick really, really hard to get out of there? After all, you chocolate is on the line.
Ahh, you’re torturing me! I’m trapped, and my chocolate is being eaten! It’s not fair!!
LOL! Ultimate real life entertainment!
Unfortunately, Fraz wasn’t as entertaining as I had expected.
Would he dance for wine gums on your side of the glass?
Red.
He probably would if we could keep the wine gums just out of reach.
That’s our little Fraz always up to mischief 🙂 I hope he gets out… Eventually 🙂
We’ll let him out soon. well, probably.
I am bringing lots of goodies so when he gets out we can have a party 🙂
Yay!!
At least I have internt access from in here!
Yes and I have arranged with one of the top scientists to feed a choco tube in there so you have a never-ending supply of choco drinks while we are figuring out how to set you free 🙂
Well at least that’s something good! Maybe it isn’t as bad in here as I thought!
Does that mean you are contemplating stay, Fraz? We could move all of your stuff in and you would be your own reality show…
Red.
That might be okay if someone was actually paying me!
I hope Binky put a few air holes for Fraz. Otherwise he won’t be very entertaining for long.
Air holes were a small oversight, but have since been rectified.
Could use another character or two, preferably female
Fraz was the only one I could lure into the trap at the time. If you’d like to join him, I’d be happy to make room for you.
ahah, Binky’s right, that is entertaining.
The entertainment value does wear off pretty fast, though.
Maybe you could put a metal choker on Fraz and control his moves to dance with a magnet.
Sort of like a magnetic marionette? I like that idea.
Well I don’t!!
You don’t like that idea, Fraz?…But you wouldn’t have to do anything that way. They would do it all for you. In all reality, they would be making their own entertainment. They just have to use you…but they have to do all the work.
I’m not a puppet!!
No, you not a puppet, but you could just relax a little and trust your family members. Then Winky could video tape it and you could watch yourself dance. Would you like that…just a little bit. If not I would recommend you put your foot though the screen to escape the set. Now you go have yourself some chocolate while you mule this over.
Yes and watch out for the donkey too or else? 🙂 Don’t worry Fraz you will be free soon 🙂
I think the donkey is the one who put me in here!
I’m still not liking the puppet thing too much. Have you ever seen how Winky plays with puppets?!
I’ll take the chocolate, though. And my feet are sore from all the kicking!
Well don’t be kicking the glass too hard Fraz or you will be shattered, now if only the glass would shatter instead you would be free already 🙂
I know! But I think Binky said it was Wombie-proof glass, and I think he’s right. Maybe I could file the glass instead of kicking it.
Yes file it down a bit later, but we are working on a plan to get you out so no problemo 🙂
That’s good since I’m getting tired of being in here, even with all the pumped-in chocolate.
Yes, that’s it! I’d try that.
We might have to wait a while until Fraz calms down. Or passes out.
I don’t think he going to be too compliant about this idea. I’d give him more chocolate for now.
Chocolate definitely calmed him down. Maybe too much.
I don’t see a hole there, how are you going to give him chocolate?
I put a one-way chocolate chute in the back.
Hope that will keep Fraz happy 🙂
It cut down on Fraz’s complaining, but I’m not sure it made him happy.
Of course he only says “let me out”, you forgot to put in a fourth wall!
I wish Binky had forgotten the back wall, too! Then I could get out!
I’d be glued to the screen/scream for hours!!!!
Naughty Wombies LOL!!!
Pull up a chair! Sometimes we need a little excitement around here.
You might have the first Wombie reality show in the making!!!!
If I could keep Fraz contained long enough, we might just have a show worth watching.
The ultimate in Lo-Def television. Good thing Andro is bringing treats. Perhaps, it will stir Fraz’ creativeness into better entertainment.
Binky, are you recording this? I see a funniest video award headed your way!
Red.
That might be a good idea. When Fraz runs out of energy, we could always watch the recording.
I think more treats could be good too 🙂
Wombies never argue with more treats!
I think you should be arguing for Fraz to star in his own reality telly show. With all the food your brought him, he would not need much to be super cozy…
Red.
A Wombie reality show could be a hit, but Fraz is still rather antsy and quite a handful when he gets all riled up.
Looks like it’s going to be a great night in. Perhaps Fraz could put on a Dave Letterman disguise & do a few Top Ten lists
Fraz definitely needs to work on his showmanship skills. Top Ten lists would be a lot more entertaining than what Fraz does.
P.S. I checked out the Team Wombie shirts so now I know what to keep my eye out for. I’ll let you know if I spot any.
It would be funny if you did see them!
LOL! Aww poor guy! But just out of curiosity-Did he learn any tricks?
It’s hard to teach a young Wombie new tricks.
I wonder if we could teach Fraz the pancake hop, that is all the rage on some networks, though at this moment in time I cannot remember which one it is, maybe it was a fib? 🙂
I think Fraz could probably be taught to hop for pancakes, even if if isn’t the official version.
Yes and with a free chocolate rabbit he could hop off with it afterwards 🙂 Well metaphorically speaking he could, I suppose? 🙂
I’ll givie it a try, but I might just eat the rabbit ’cause I’m kind of hungry after all the kicking and dancing and filing.
Yes and when you start hopping around don’t hop too high or you might bump your head 🙁
Too late! Already did that!
Start singing really badly and they will want you off the set. I know it always works for me.
That just might work!
“On top of spaghetti, All covered with cheese. . .”
You could try some Rap or hip hop. That ought to get you out.
Or get me arrested!
Out of the box, and into jail!
Meh. It’ll be more spacious either way
I don’t know if that’s really a good thing, though.
or hum elevator music.
I’m not sure I know any elevator music. Well, maybe the stuff Chris listens to.
ha-ha… cheaper than cable!
The problem is it requires much more maintenance than cable, though. And more chocolate, too.
How much more expensive is the chocolate supply than the cable bill? Hmm. I am seeing production problems. Drat.
Red.
The problem is even a little Wombie like Fraz consumes a great deal of chocolate, so it can be expensive. Though if we were producing a reality TV show, we should be able to make it profitable.
Very true! I heard Chevy Chase is this way, funny in movies but not on his own. If Fraz does a ‘dark chocolate cooking’ show in there it’s only going to be entertaining for HIM!
I need better writers!!
I like the idea of a dark chocolate cooking show. I’ll have to talk to my agent!
Well you can’t beat a really dark show Fraz, but I think we need plenty of chocolate to be able to enjoy it better 🙂 We can call it Frazkenstein Meets the Wolfman 🙂
Frazkenstein, I like that! And chocolate makes any show better, so this one should be really really good! And yummy.
Most definitely 🙂
Fraz seemed like he is in a horror movie
It seems like a horror movie to me, too!!
I have put some chocolate fangs in with the second cake so try them for size 🙂 And for taste too 🙂
The chocolate fangs were really good, but they went fast! So did the cake!
At least they gave you chocolate, Fraz …it’s not so horror anymore, right?
It’s less horrible with chocolate, that’s for sure.
Freedom, like chocolate tastes very good doesn’t it Fraz? 🙂
Yeah, and freedom plus chocolate tastes even better!
Binky, you’re not gonna get your portrait. Please be nice to my little protégé.
I almost cried when I saw the second picture.
Don’t worry, Cha, no Wombies were hurt in the making of this comic. Fraz just needed to be calmed down a bit as he can be hyperactive at times.
And Fraz is free now, anyway. I wouldn’t want to jeopardize my chances at a portrait from you!
Poor Fraz… I think, that buying tv is better idea 🙂
So do I!!
reality TV taken to the next level!
And luckily that show is over ’cause I’m free now!
That’s exactly how fishes in the tank are. We think our pet fishes are entertaining us, whereas those fishes think we are entertaining them.
Truth is, it’s actually scary to be stuck inside the TV. But maybe that’s only me, since I have a sort of claustrophobic tendency to enclosed spaces.
I didn’t like being trapped in there either! And I don’t think I was as entertaining as they thought I would be. Which was proabably good!
Good news! I think the episode in which he’s attacked by bees is coming up…
Nooo!!
