Grindstone to Success
Entrepreneurs aren’t always appreciated as much as they should be.
And Happy Australia Day (January 26th)!

I’d be wary of a Wombat with an electric grinder too.
Why? I’m pretty good with the grinder. Other than the time I. . .oh, nevermind.
ahah, maybe a free trial might soften Chris up.
Thanks for adding me to your webcomics list!
You’re welcome, Chur.
Free! I should’ve thought of that!
Hey, a free teeth cleaning! How can you turn that down! 🙂
Well I didn’t say it was free, but I probably should have.
I think he’s been taking lessons from my dentist!
think my dentist went to the same school as yours !
I didn’t really go to dentist school, but how hard can it be to grind a few teeth clean?
That was probably the prototype for the electric toothbrush.
Maybe I could sell the patent.
Ah, yes! Power tools = hours of entertainment! Of course pearly whites might disagree, but they’ve never really been much of a party animal, anyway, I guess.
🙂
Yeah, power tools are lots of fun! Especially when you get paid to use them. Though no one has paid me yet.
….and I thought my teeth cleanings were unpleasant! P.S. THANKS for adding me to your web comics list!
You’re welcome, Nancy.
Think of the accessories that you can sell with it… like novocain!
Yeah! And maybe a bone to bite on.
A bone!…I love bones! Can I go first? Can I, can I!?
I never though about cleaning dog’s teeth, but sure, why not? Just don’t bite me.
Actually this new enterprise could work very well on all of my Skeletons, as their bones are always lacklustre… Grind them, them bones, them bones, them Skellie bones 🙂
Zombies & Skeletons could be a big part of my business! Skeletons especially because I could clean all their bones!
I will line them all up and you can do the grinding 🙂
It’s a deal! I hope the Skeletons can pay me.
If they don’t then we will have a bone to pick with them 🙂
That shouldn’t be hard to do with a skeleton!
Don’t hurt me, and I won’t reflex with a nip at ya
Cici sweetie, you have to to click reply to Fraz first, then post your comment. So he knows you are talking to him.
ok mommy! Don’t bare *** me.
Cici!!! Watch your spelling sweetie.
and get your email address right so you avatar shows.
We fixed it through the magic of editing!
Thank you, because I thought mommy was going to keep me from commenting here….I sorry I made a mistake.
How can mommy keep you from commenting? You’re the leader of the pack! Maybe you should wear your new t-shirt when you’re at the computer so no one will forget.
It’s her puter.
Maybe you should get one of those little tablet computers or netbooks so you don’t have to borrow mommy’s.
Maybe I better wear armored gloves or something when I clean your teeth just in case.
I guess that would help, since I haven’t got the “no nipping,” down to a science yet…But they’re just little teeth, it would hurt like a deliberate bite. Besides I want a new bone.
I meant woundn’t, not would.
If I give you a bone while cleaning your doggy teeth, hopefully you’ll be biting on that and not me!
You could always offer free chocolate after the first cleaning…That would encourage just about anybody.
Good idea! Free chocolate and jawbreakers after every cleaning!
and don’t forget wine gums!!!!
I was going to keep the wine gums for myself.
How about offering a free pancake with every grind of the molars, and if they can’t manage to eat it afterwards then you can have it instead 🙂
Sure, I could always eat an extra pancake or two!
You could fill the holes with pancake mixture, Androgoth.
That is an excellent idea Loon, you are a true genius 🙂
I was going to say silly putty but that would be silly, Wombies can’t eat that!
Well I wouldn’t say we can’t eat it, but it’s not all that tasty.
How about some chocolate flavoured putty that might work? 🙂
Chocolate putty sounds a lot tastier than silly putty!
Don’t worry, Fraz, geniuses are almost never appreciated 😉
I know! I keep telling everyone that I’m a genius, but no one believes me!
I believe you Fraz 🙂
I’m glad to hear that!!
Fraz has his entrepreneurial button on its highest setting!
Yeah, but I still can’t pry any money away from these tightwads!
I do enough grinding while I’m sleeping …… thanks though Fraz.
But I promise to do a really really good job! I’ll even grind your teeth down to nothing for you!
Tempting as it sounds Fraz, I might need them to eat my Gummy Bears (pardon the pun).
I think you meant wine gums.
I think that poor Chris is shaking in his boots over that wicked and yet most excellently creative idea Fraz 🙂
I wish he’d stop shaking and just pay me to clean his teeth! Maybe I could get him to pay me NOT to clean his teeth.
every good business started somewhere. It’s all about presentation.
Maybe I should work on my presentation, then.
He shouldn’t worry because they may not let him work on my teeth, but there is a big business in pedicures!! W.C.C.
That sounds gross!!
I use one of those to trim my two dogs toenails. Or I should say I try to use one. One of the dogs just sits there and lets me do it with no trouble. The other dog reacts the way I probably would if I saw Fraz coming with that in hand!
Whaddaya mean, I don’t scare anyone away! Although I haven’t had a lot of customers.
I wonder if strapping them in the grinders chair would help? But in a friendly way of course 🙂
Yeah, that should work! You always have good ideas, Andro!
You are a great teacher Fraz 🙂
No one’s ever told me that before!
Fraz, wait until he is asleep. Don’t give up
Okay, I will! Thanks, Doctor!
I can have a filling without any anaesthetic but professional dental cleaning makes me scream. bloody sensitive teeth – I’m asking for gas next time.
Maybe I should try that. If I gassed my patients first, it’d probably be easier to clean their teeth and they wouldn’t scream so much.
My dentift ufed the fame grinder to clean my teef yefterday. Fome teef came out, but at leaft they’re clean. Fo the grinder doef work, Fraf 🙂
That’s good to hear, Marieke! Maybe you could do a commercial for me!
Keep asking around – someone will say yes eventually! Maybe. 🙂
I hope so! I’m running out of people to ask.
Auch!!! I don’t want to be grind by you either Fraz!!!
Oh, come on! You don’t even have teeth!
But I can still imagine the pain >.<
My grinding is guaranteed pain free! I don’t feel any pain at all when I’m grinding your teeth.
Maybe if Fraz would have offered laughing gas first, he would have had a better chance.
Happy Australia Day!
Yeah, I think laughing gas might be a good way to convince people to let me clean their teeth.
Thanks! We’re not really Australian, but we like to pretend that we are.
Canadians are very smart too, and pretending is okay, just as long as the kangaroo’s don’t catch you 🙁
We live in fear of Kangaroo retaliation!
Wonderful! Was just turned on to your blog by Scholar Mel, in his mention of his top 10 blogs for the year.
Had to subscribe. Just from the few I’ve perused so far you’ve hooked me.
Many thanks for sharing your art and wit!
Thanks, Miss R! I’m glad you like our little strip. I’ll have to send Mel a wine gum or two.
He really should have taken up the teeth cleaning. Real dentists can be pricey.
I know, that was my selling point, “Cheap & fast,” but Chris wasn’t very impressed.
Good idea. Have an electric car buffer? Be a massage therapist! Have an itch you can’t reach? Belt sander!
Wow, those are great ideas! I didn’t know power tools could be good for business!
I’m thinking that business isn’t exactly going to take off. 😉
What do people do on Australia Day? Is it like Canada Day-aka. Beer, BBQ, fireworks?
According to Wikipedia “Outdoor concerts, community barbecues, sports competitions, festivals and fireworks are some of the many events presented in communities across Australia.” on Australia Day.
We Wombies also eat chocolate and wine gums and honor the wombat. Somewhat like Wombat Day.
Yes Binky and what a nice way to celebrate Wombat Day, lots of chocolate, wine gums, spam and delicious pancakes… But don’t forget the party hats 🙂
Of course not! It wouldn’t be a party without party hats!
Ha,ha,ha! Funny stuff!
🙂
YIKES!! What kind of teeth does he plan on cleaning?!
Any teeth I can reach! Smile, Jenn!
What a genius. I’m always impressed by you guys. You seem so confiDENT!
I want to see the results of your first dental procedure.
Good luck!
As soon as I get a victim–I mean customer–to practice on, I’ll let you know!
Hey, you can’t beat a deal like that, especially in the comfort of your own home. 😀
That’s what I thought! But Chris didn’t think so.
