Full Brain
What’s a kid to do when his brain is full of learning? There’s no need for school when there’s no room for new knowledge.
Mark Stokes of Zombie Boy Comics recently did a comic strip featuring many characters from other webcomics as squeaky toys for Gorr the dog. Binky was one of the squeaky toys. The Zombie Boy comic is a great strip and definitely worth checking out. You can see the original Zombie Boy strip with Binky here.
My brain never really got full when I was in school. But that may have had to do with that “in one ear, out the other” problem I had.
That backpack is a bit big for the little guy! I saw a kid going to school once and his pack was on his back but almost dragging on the ground.
The smaller the kid, the bigger the backpack. Well, that’s what it looks like sometimes.
Well it certainly doesn’t hurt to try, does it Fraz?
It didn’t hurt, but it didn’t help much, either.
was it his butt that was too full?
Sort of.
Fraz, did you over fill your brain with wishes?…well, at least you have an island to go to.
My brain got full of useless school facts, like math and history! I need an island break!
Yes, well there on your island you can relax and let go of all those thoughts, making room for your day-dreaming and wishes.
And my friends and genie and parties and treasure hunts and all the good stuff!
Well of course, you have to have fun, fun, fun! Not over-fill your brain with all the school stuff. Why on earth would you ever need it when you have a Genie that could make you and smartest Wombie in the world. And friends like us that adore you, Fraz?…Nah, you must have your fun!…and your favorite foods too.
You need to talk to Chris! He doesn’t see things like that at all. He just thinks I’m spoiled! But I just want to have fun!
I leaned this fact at about 29-years old. I’ve been learning what I needed to know ever since! … Getting informed, Fraz is better than learning it late in the school of Hard Knocks.
I don’t know. Can’t I just not learn it at all?
I’m with ya’ on that!!!
It can’t bother you if you don’t know about it!
I’m pretty sure every time I learn something ‘new’ something ‘old’ gets pushed right back out! Very unfortunate!
🙂
That’s like me! That’s why I’d just rather learn important stuff, like video games and things about genies!
And how many triple choc pancakes you can eat in one sitting 🙂
I already know the answer to that one. A lot!
Yes I figured that it would be more than just a few 🙂
I knew you would know!
Many of us think that we don’t have to go to school..Now that I’m in my late 20s and finished my schooling, I must say I never retained everything I’ve been taught at school. Most of the subjects taught weren’t very helpful in my everyday living, I have come to conclude that there are times it’s just a waste of time to go to school. I guess the only thing that was fun for me there are friends, family, my daily allowance, and recess 🙂
Recess is my favorite subject, too, but they don’t even give me a grade in that! I think they should have more up to date subjects like the internet, and cell phones, and chocolate. Then maybe I’d like school.
Sure would love to have a Chocolate-ology subject! Sign me up! 🙂
Yep! I could sink my teeth into that one!
Actually, Fraz, there is actually a chocolate school (http://www.ecolechocolat.com/)! Check it out if you like 🙂 This chocolate talk makes me crave for chocolate ice-cream!
Why don’t they teach that at my school? I’m sure I’d get straight A’s in chocolate class!
Cute, too bad he wasn’t able to convince him, i know I tried that when I was younger.
Adults never listen to kids!
I tried that excuse every day too….it didn’t work.
Did you ever come up with one the did work?
I thought my brain was full too… but then I discovered a slow leak…
Sometimes people say I have a hole in my head, but I’ve never been able to find it.
Haha, love the expressions in the 2nd panel 🙂
My sad puppy eyes expression doesn’t seem to work as well as it used to.
Useless subjects like math,physics can do that to any one..its a conspiracy to bring down IQ of kids
Hey Fraz my all time favourite subjects were recess,chocolates too and of course slothism
damn the government
We could be school buddies!! Chocolate would be my favorite thing to study, too!
Oh, Fraz. Just wait until you get a little older…you will discover gobs of things you will want to learn. You need some of that boring school stuff to understand it.
Red.
I like leaning important things, like how to play games and stuff. But not that math and English stuff.
Without math how will you ever know how many wine gums you have? Or when you have more chocolate than Winky?
Red.
Well, counting math is okay, I guess, when you’re counting important stuff like that.
Remember, math and science are what makes it possible for Binky to invent the cool things…like a rocket powered backpack for your books.
Red.
I guess so, but I still don’t like it much.
Just use your Genie to make you smart. Now go have a treasure hunt on your island, Fraz
That sounds like a lot better idea! Hey genie genie, I need some more smarts!
Peter, you have to know, my youngest daughter really loves this strip. When I load it, she reads them to me and tries to explain it to me from her (autistic) point of view. She relates to Fraz a lot, but likes Winky and Twink as well. Apparently, we are going to read them all before we are finished.
Red.
I’m glad to hear that she likes it and can relate to it. That’s great. And of course interpretation is everything. But I’m sorry if you’re going to be dragged through them all!
LOL! No pain , no gain. Anything which promotes reading comprehension is a good thing.
Red.
🙂
I had to laugh at her earlier. I was commenting, and she strolled past. She said, “No, Momma. It is up at the top. I want to see the panel.”
She wants to be an animator. She built her first story board before she could speak complete sentences.
Red.
That’s funny. Why are you wasting time on the wordy bits when there’re comics to read!
Depending on her interests and ability, there are some basic computer animation programs that you can get as freeware.
I may need a referral…
Red.
I’ll send you an email.
I thought that was a pretty good reason. 🙂
I thought so, too, but someone didn’t agree with us!
Stupid humans! 🙂
I know!!
You could do with a little trolley for that back pack, or maybe one with wheels built into it, or even ask Chris to carry it while you enjoy some wine gums 🙂 I think I know what his answer will be but you can try for nothing 🙂
Maybe I could get Binky to make me a rocket powered backpack trolley! That would make going to school almost worth it!
Yes just bend over while Binky lights the fuse, actually it could be worth using an optional booster on the way home from school and that way you get to eat your pancakes and wine gums a lot quicker 🙂
I’ll talk to Binky about it. Extra rocket power always gets him excited, so I think he’ll probably add the booster!
That sounds really good Fraz, I wonder how fast you will get home from school using those booster rockets? 🙂
I don’t know, but I’ll use a stopwatch to find out!
🙁 never mind. Least Chris didn’t tell you your brain was fool!!!!
I guess that’s a good thing.
Just eat more school Fraz, your brain will be full in no time.
I never thought of that! I could be like Godzilla! Frazilla!!
I see what ya did there.
I didn’t do anything! It’s a lie!
My brain is full of web-comics 😉
Just kidding 🙂
That’s the kind of stuff I want my brain full of!
If you know how to work it school can be fun. It is not about grades…it is about learnin’ new stuff. I especially liked 4th grade…all three years of it.
I wouldn’t mind learning important stuff like how to play video games or what superheros are the best. But the stuff they teach is boring!
I love the silence in the second panel.
Silence says more than words, sometimes.
No!!!! silence makes me confuse 0.o
Well I’ll try not to confuse you next time, Papoe.
This is where the note spiral becomes the doodle spiral.
I might doodle a little in class, but don’t tell my teacher.
I forgot to mention how great that comic strip artistry is with everyone in the mix, I can just see Binky at the back, probably trying to get to the front for some wine gums and a few delicious pancakes 🙂
Mark did a great job of squeezing in all those webcomic characters into that panel.
Yes and with so much fine detail too, I have just been looking at your Fan Art page and it is certainly looking good, not that I am blowing my own trumpet, being that some of my drawings are on there but I do like the whole concept as it brings everyone together within a single theme and that is really very interesting 🙂
Have a great day today Peter 🙂
It’s nice to have the opportunity to display art from other people and to see their perspective on the Wombies.
Yes and a very nice gesture to display everyone’s art too Peter so a big thank you to you for that my great friend 🙂
You’re very welcome, Andro! I think the fan art adds a lot to the site.
I totally agree about the brain being full.
The informer could be wrong you see.
I still think my brain is too full for school.
Yes but is your tum filled up with enough of that yummy chocolate yet? 🙂
No, but I’m working on a couple more chocolate pancakes right now.
Great, do you need any help with that? 🙂
I don’t need any help, but you can help yourself! There’s plenty of pancakes for everyone!
Thank you Fraz, we all enjoy these pancake treats and with a never-ending supply it looks like we’re going to be eating pancakes for a very long time 🙂
You never get sick of pancakes! Well at least I never do!
I saw Binky among those many faces 😉
Hmmm…if it’s not your brain, what did Chris said about your brain?
Yeah, Binky’s in there! Maybe hiding from me.
Chris said I was full of it. And he didn’t mean my brain.
Hahahah! Good one!
Sometimes I feel the same way about my own brain. It reaches its limit plenty of times per day.
That’s why I take chocolate breaks a couple of times a day!
LOL Awesome. He can’t go to school ’cause he’s a jet-setter!!!
I’ll be his tutor… like Seneca to emperor Nero . But I hope Fraz will be less cruel than Nero. 😀 Fraz the tyrant.
Again, talking about Fraz inspires me a lot. lol
By the way I loooove this comic strip Mark did!!! Impressive work!
That’s right, I am a jet-setter! And a star! You understand me!! You could be my tutor anytime! That’d be awesome! You could even teach me how to paint! And I promise not to be a tyrant! (I had to google that!)
Hey Fraz I hope that Cha will consider teaching me too 🙂 Now how wicked would that be while we are sharing our triple choc pancakes and wine gums 🙂
That would be great! Painting With Cha! Beside the pool of my new house!
Yes it’s brilliant, and I notice that you are wearing a lot of bling, well I suppose with being incredibly rich and famous that it is normal to wear so much gold in the pool 🙂
Yeah, I really like gold! Though I found out wearing it in the pool isn’t really a good idea. Unless you like being stuck to the bottom!
..ha-ha… it was your bowel?
😯
Fraz’s logic is fine,. I think the problem is with Chris’ understanding
Yeah, but try to explain that to Chris!
Maybe Chris is just miffed because he didn’t get rendered as one of Gorr’s toys & is taking his frustration & bad temper out on Fraz.
That might explain it! But it wasn’t my fault!
So they cheated you before. You should tke them to the court to pay for that. Payment in chocolate 🙂
I never thought of suing someone for chocolate, but it sounds like a good idea!
