Fall Fair Pumpkin King
Fall fairs and pumpkins naturally go together. So do pumpkins and Winky, apparently.
(This comic strip was previously published on November 11, 2010.)
If you haven’t seen the video, it’s this year’s Halloween tribute from the Wombies. The Zombie Wombies. Happy Halloween!
This could be a movie. Wombies in the Mist!
Lookout! They’re coming to get your brains!
But they would starve
Are you saying Chris doesn’t have any brains?
I think he means that ‘He’ has none, or maybe you are right, poor Chris… Why is it that everyone called Chris has a hard time these days? 🙁
I’m not sure now. . .
I guess Wombania is just tough on Chrises. A Chris crisis?
Yes I think that you are right ion that one Peter 🙂 Hey I hope that you are enjoying your Halloween and that the rain is holding off tonight, I know some parts of Canada have rain storms this evening 🙁
It has been pretty much raining here since last Saturday. Mostly drizzly rain, with some high winds from the big storm. But we escaped most of it, and it hasn’t rained tonight so the trick or treaters didn’t have it too bad. I’ve already eaten all my Halloween chocolate!
I hope you’ve had a good Halloween over there.
Hey Pumpkin Guts…
Errr…
I mean Hey Winky, that sure would’ve been embarrassing. It could’ve been worse though, someone could’ve carved a jack ‘o lantern face into your stomach
Yeah, that would have been a lot worse!
eeeuccchhh… that sounds scary Uncle T
It sure does!
Tony are you getting all wicked on Winky or are you just after some Pumpkin Pie 🙂
I think Tony is hankering for some pumpkin pie. I know I am!
Errr… Just a slip of the tongue. Actually I’ve never tried pumpkin pie but I love pumpkin soup & pumpkin scones
I guess it’s not popular down there because you don’t have Thanksgiving like we do in Canada and the US. There are many different kinds of pumpkin pie, and the best are really good. I’ve never had pumpkin soup or scones.
I know, why don’t we all have a Pumpkin Soup and Scone party 🙂 There will be chocolate pancakes for afters too so let’s ask Fraz if his beach is free for the weekend 🙂
Sounds good, but I think Fraz and the gang might have some cleaning up to do after the storm. Maybe we could have a beach clean up/pumpkin eating party.
Normally it is an honor just to be nominated, but I think I would take a little offense as well.
It wasn’t the best award to get!
Better than nothing though, and you didn’t even have to enter a pumpkin to win, now that is a cool result I think 🙂
I guess. But being judged the best pumpkin is still a bit embarrassing.
Yes I suppose it is, but at least you won the prize 🙂 It could have been a lot worse, they might have meant me 🙁 lol
If you come to our next fall fair, we could see who’s really the best pumpkin!
Oh no, was it because of your head ?
The judges didn’t say! Twink says it was my tummy.
I think it was the toothy grin
It might have been!
If you stood on your head, it could be both.
If I stood on my head, it’d probably get squished!
o.O
Maybe it was a combination of those, but the goofy smile would have got you more points I think, or was it because you gave all the judges extra pancakes? 😉
I didn’t bribe the judges! Honest!
It must have been your smile that did it 🙂
I’d like to think so. Someone else around here thinks it was because of my stomach!
I wasn’t expecting that pumpkin to go splat on them. I really wasn’t, but I laughed when it did. Yes I did.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
The ending is supposed to be a surprise, so I’m glad it worked for you. Thanks for watching.
I like the whole video Peter but I agree with Comedy Plus, the splat of the humongous Pumpkin definitely had the last laugh 🙂 Another brilliant piece of videoing 🙂
Thanks, Andro. I don’t think the Wombie zombies saw the pumpkin coming, either.
No they walked straight into the trap 🙂 A brilliant idea that 🙂
Maybe Fraz could get some ideas on how to keep his beach Zombie-free,.
Happy almost Halloween 🙂 Great vid 🙂
Lots of love xx
Cat
Thanks, Cat. Happy Halloween!
Yes Happy Halloween Cat 🙂
I wonder if Cat will dress up as a black cat for Halloween?
No I think that she will be dressing up as a Pumpkin Pie, and later we all get lots of treats, like chocolate candy and pancakes for helping her out of her costume 🙂
I’ll help, I’ll help!
The Wombie Zombie shuffle! That could be a new line dance!
I like that idea! Would there be eating involved?
I am sure! We could all have pouches in our hats. It could be the chocolate equivalent of brains!
I’d want an extra-big pouch, then. I could use more brains!
I am pretty sure we all can, Winky!
Some of us more than others, though!
I love her expression in the last panel! 🙂
Thanks, Bill!
I like her expressions in all three. She really looks contemplative in the first one.
That’s probably because I couldn’t figure out where best to focus her eyes!
LOL! Happy accident then. It worked. *grins*
I’m glad! I was never too happy with it.
Which leads to the question…Any idea how you did it? *giggles*
I focused her eyes off in the distance, straight ahead. As if she was walking. I remember moving the focus point around a number of times, up, down, left, right, further away and closer. I didn’t like any of them much, but settled on the one that looked the least worst.
ROFL! “least worst”
That sounds so official.
The least worst gets used around here more often than I care to admit!
Well I enjoyed it, I also had a giggle reading these comments 🙂 Mind you I always read every comment on here, that is why I am always sticking my oar in on nearly everyone’s reactions to your cartoons 🙂
Yes, I noticed that. I’m glad I could waste half your day!
Having fun is never a waste Peter, but I wouldn’t mind a few more chocolate milkshakes and toasted marshmallows to enjoy while I read through them 🙂
I’ll tell the gang to leave some extra treats out for you that you can enjoy when you’re making the rounds.
Poor Winky. I don’t think you’re a pumpkin head at all! And that video is spoooooky. 😛
Thanks, Wendy! I’m glad not everyone thinks I’m a pumpkin head!
I don’t think so either, now where was that extra helping of vanilla ice cream? 🙂 Oh there it is over there by the triple extra helping of choco fudge cake… Thank you Winky 🙂
After being judged best pumpkin, I hope no one thinks I’m bad for eating pumpkin pie!
What, you mean like being Pumpkinpiecannibal or something? Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew I see what you mean that could be tricky 🙁 I think that you had better stick to the treats instead 🙂
But pumpkin pie is my favorite treat this time of year! It’s pretty hard to resist! With all it’s pumpkiny goodness!
Maybe the judges think you are a carved pumpkin Wink ;P
Maybe, I don’t know. Or maybe it was just that I smelled like pumpkin because I had just eaten a couple of pumpkin pies.
This is what happens when you stand in line of the prize Pumpkins during the judging 🙂
That’s exactly what happened! I didn’t even know I was in the competition!
It’s the first time that the judges have seen a Pumpkin in line with a milkshake in one hand and a trio of chocolate fudge pancakes in the other, I bet that could have swayed the judging a bit 🙂
It might have scored me points for originality. Or maybe just tastiness.
How much did you get for winning the award Wink? more pumpkins I reckon 😉
I just got a ribbon, and a pumpkin pie. I don’t have the pie any more.
Poor Winky! She’s just healthy, not fat!!
I’m a he!
OOPS! You are so cute that I just assumed. Sorry, but I have been out of the loop for awhile!!
That’s okay. I hope all the ladies think I’m cute! I think that’s a good thing.
You do have a bit of a feminine shuffle sometimes but that’s with eating so many of those larger wine gums, maybe you should go back to eating the regular one’s so that your manly swagger returns? 🙂
Maybe if I dress up a pirate that would help?
Yes but lose the earrings or it might be a waste of time dressing up 🙁
I’ll stick with the pirate hat, the eye patch, and the sword, then. And maybe a fake wooden leg. And a parrot if I can find one.
Happy Halloween!
Happy Halloween, Daniel!
Wombie Zombies!
I feel lucky that I live in the mid-atlantic ridge!
You’re probably safe from the Wombie Zombies way out there. Probably. . .
And welcome back!
Yes but is he safe from the ghoulishly hungry and sometimes starving Werewolves? 🙁
I’m not sure. They would probably have to be arctic werewolves in Iceland.
Yes or freezing one’s from somewhere else 🙁
Wolves never seem to want to wear their hats and mitts.
I know I was here earlier today. The internet ate my comment and I don’t remember what it was.
I think sometimes the internet hiccups and things get lost.
Yes it was probably one of the Pumpkin judges Bo, they are always up to no good you know? 🙁 Apart from when they are offering Winky the 1st Prize Pumpkin award 🙂
If it was a pumpkin pie comment, maybe Winky ate it.
I bet that he did, Winky will eat anything in sight when hungry and he is always hungry 🙂
I’m not always hungry! I’m just, well, okay, maybe I am! Did you bring any snacks?
Better you than me! I’m glad I didn’t win this year. 🙂
The prize was a nice ribbon, though!
Those judges must be outta their gourd!
I think they think I was!
I thought they were going to break out into some Irish dancing. Cool movie and I love the pumpkin joke.
Thanks, Catherine. I don’t think the Wombies know any Irish dances!
Now I know why you said what you said on my blog…lol
The look on Twinks face in the last panel is priceless. 🙂
It’s a look I see a lot of!
I totally agree with you, Deb!! Sooo funny.
The header strip is hilarious!
The video a cool one misty mystery and fun!
Thanks, Indrani. Glad you liked them both.
Winky won the Best Pumpkin award – I don’t get it. How?
I don’t know how, either!
I was standing at the end of a row of pumpkins, and I think the judges thought I kind of looked like a big fat pumpkin, I guess.
Try sticking your tongue out next time, that should put them off their voting 🙂
I wouldn’t want to be rude to them, though.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN, Wombania!!! 🙂
Happy Halloween, Cha! I hope you get some nice treats today!
Hey I hope that I get
some nice treats too Peter 😉
I bet you’ve already had yours, Andro!
Do Zombi Wombees eat chocolate instead of brains?
We do! Sort of like regular Wombies, actually.
You could have told them that it was the invisible man pumkin. lol
That might have worked. I’ll have to try it next time.
Great video. Wow!
Thanks, Sabina.
LOVING this gorgeous fall strip!
Thanks, Nancy.
