Grocery Shopping With Wombies
It’s best to shop for groceries on a full stomach. And without your Wombies if you want to get out of the store without spending a fortune.
(This comic strip was previously published on June 18, 2009.)
American artist Debbie Adams painted Fraz as he was making an abominable snowman to fight off the pancake stealing Zombies. The original post of Fraz And The Abominable Snowman can be seen on Debbie’s art blog.
Bye bye all the chocolates 🙁
We’ll give them a very good home, though. At least until we eat them!
I can help you with those Winky 🙂
You can help as long as you don’t eat all of them!
At least you didn;t get a trolley with a dodgy wheel 😉
No, just some dodgy passengers.
I know what you mean Loon those are wheely horrible 🙁 lol
Wombie are a hand and shopping cart full!
They certainly are!
Now I know why the store manager told me I’d have to wait for the next shipment of chocolate this morning.
You’d think the stores would be used to us by now and know to stock up.
You’d think. They loose a lot of money when we show up and they don’t have the Wombie goodies.
Maybe I should make a store just for Wombies!
I do that all the time. Why don’t you make a list for the humans. 😉
No, I meant I should make a grocery store just for Wombies! It’d be stocked with unlimited chocolate and wine gums and Spam and treats and marshmallows and fudge and Spambo whambo burgers and all that good stuff!
I realized that this time when I re-read what you said…my bad, Fraz.
I think you have a really good idea. You could get your supplies from Winky’s factory! But what about the other foods…you gonna make them yourself?
Maybe I could buy that stuff with all the pirate gold we found.
Invest in a SPAM factory.
I should! That should make a lot of money with all the Wombies around!
The nothing to do in the grocery cart seat is a conspiracy to get them to notice everything in the store…and want it!
Really? I never thought of that before…but it does make sense!
It the same with the candy being at the check out stands…I’ve seen kids pointing to it, trying to reach it, and or crying for it.
Stores know where to place the impulse items for the best sales.
I see…I guess they’ll do anything to
I do want everything!
Do you want this extra chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting?
Of course!!
I’m make you more!
More is always better!
and better is always great!
Especially when you can eat it!
Then get more!
Yeah!
Hahaha… now I think I know how my wife feels…
🙂
She can take the Wombies with her any time she wants!
Hey Chris…I bet they are worst than human children 😉
Much worse! Though I don’t have any kids.
I thought you swore off that cologne…
Maybe I should get some more and then no one would want to go shopping with me.
That is one way to think out of the box… or bottle, as it were. You are not looking for a girlfriend at the grocery, are you?
I am sure some women would appreciate my taste in cologne!
NO CHANCE 🙁 Eeeeeuw
Well someone must like it because they still sell it!
Thank you for posting my painting of Fraz and his abominable snowman. It’s always such an honor, and I appreciate it!. And Fraz did have lot of fun building him. 🙂
You’re welcome, Deb. It’s an honor that you continue to make all your Wombie art.
Thank you! 🙂
I love this one. xxx
Thank you, Red!
xxx
Love your art, Deb!
Thank you Barb!
This painting’s amazing, Deb!!! Love it. 😀 One of my fave actually!!!
Hugs to everyone
It’s a fun one!
Thanks, Cha! xx
I can see where taking the Wombies is a bad idea. Bwahahahahahahaha.
Have a terrific day filled with lots of chocolate. ☺
Unless you want to spend all day in the store saying “No!”
My wife won’t shop alone. She says she gets lonely.
Me on the other hand. Give me a list and I am out the door.
I’ll go with her if she’ll buy me treats!
Me too and a nice chocolate flavoured milkshake too 🙂
And some wine gums too.
Now now what is this??
who goes shopping after stuffing themselves !!!
won’t we feel sleepy after our stomach is full?
what kind of joke is this
and what would we do without The Wombies!
what has this world come to…I say Mister if the day comes i follow what you wrote consider me a ZZombie
I’ll let you take the Wombies shopping next time so you can have all the fun.
I am with twink lets get one of everything so that there is no confusion
and get a big screenand DVD on Fraz’s cart..oh the humans!!
Getting one of everything is the only way to shop!
I think we should get 2 of everything of for each Wombie. In my house that would be 8 bags of chocolate kisses. Lg bags!
When I said one of everything, I didn’t mean chocolate! I meant everything else. We get all the chocolate they have!
I was thinking of a quick stop and the convenience store on the way to the grocery store to hold us till we get there.
I always pack extra treats for the trip to the grocery store!
Mom always does too, but I get into them sometimes before we hit the road. So she has to stop someplace to get more to keep us full.
Maybe you should pack your own cooler of food for the trip. That way you could have exactly what you want.
That’s a good idea…I’ll talk Dink into it, Twink!
Maybe you’d better make that two coolers!
Oh what fun (not so) memories this brings back… Chris did you have any hair left after this trip? I know the chocolate isle had to fill you cart full. maybe an idea would be to take them only to the veggie stand? not that would be any fun for the lovable Wombies!
I barely escaped with my sanity! Not to mention the huge bill! That would be a good idea. Next time I’ll take them to the farmer’s market where there won’t be much temptation.
hopefully the farmers market doesn’t sell gallon size jugs of chocolate sauce for dipping! but , ohh so tasty!
Or maple syrup or fudge. They sell that at some markets. I’ll have to make sure it’s a vegetables only market.
Frazzie looks so cute in his shopping cart seat. I just wanna SQUEEZE him until wine gum juice comes out. 🙂
I’m not cute! I’m a pirate! Arrgghh!
A wine gum and spambo wambo Pirate of the shark infested seas oooooarrrrr me hearty 🙂
Yeah, and I’m a dangerous pirate too! So no squeezing me!
You can put on all the costumes you’d like Fraz…you’re always going to be as cute as a teddy bear to me. 🙂
Nooo!!
Why would you want to shop alone Chris??? BORING!!! Wombies bring fun to the supermarket
Fine, you can take my Wombies shopping any time you want.
It’s a deal Chris, as long as I can take your credit card too
I have an expired one you could use.
This is pretty much of the life for my wife when she takes me to a firework stand!!! W.C.C.
Fireworks are good! Everyone needs more fireworks.
I can relate. When my kids were small, we had a “one thing” rule. It kept them from loading up my cart.
http://joycelansky.blogspot.com/2013/03/passover-quiz.html
I’d want something really really big then!
Momma tried that rule with us. We won. We just wanted cases of things. 😉
I guess the safest thing is to leave them home!
Or mail order…
So long as they don’t get hold of my credit card number!
Very demanding.
They certainly are!
But shopping should be fun, no? 😉
I just want to get out of the store with some money left.
You save money shopping alone… I do it all of the time!
I certainly would save. A lot!
Used to feel like this when the grands were small!
Is Fraz the baby? Asking because he is in the cart.
I’m not a baby! I am the youngest though.
I’m like that too but my wife won’t let me ride in the cart any more.
No fair! The cart riding is the funnest part of shopping!
I remember riding underneath, that was the best, the floor zoomed along inches away, and it was filthy!
Really? I’ve got to try that!
Fraz needs a book 🙂
I need a Nintendo 3DS!
I’d love to shop chocolates with all my wombie friends 🙂
We’d love to go shopping with you any time!
He should bring a smartphone for those boring moments and stream vudu!
Yeah! Hey Chris, David says you should buy me a smartphone!
One of my life’s big early rough moments was when my mom told me I was too old to sit in the grocery cart. 14 is NOT TOO OLD!
I always want to ride in the cart! Even if I can drive!
Perhaps, Binky can invent a steering device for you so you can steer to the correct aisles.
No! Don’t give them any idea! We’ll never get out of the chocolate aisle or the toy department!
There is nothing like shopping for lots of chocolate unless it’s shopping for pancakes, spambo wambo burgers, wine gums and chocolate covered marshmallows 🙂 Mmmm I could just eat another Easter egg 🙂 Yummy
You can take my Wombie gang on a shopping expedition any time you’d like!
I was thinking of tagging
along with you instead 🙂
And I suppose you’ll want to ride in the cart seat with Fraz, too.
Great painting too Deb 🙂 Hey let’s get the party hats out and have another beach party, well as soon as all the snow clears away we will 🙂 Yaaaaay
We could have a beach snow party!
Don’t forget the party hats Fraz? 🙂
The winter snow party hats!
Hiii. A dvd player in a cart sounds awesome. 😀
Maybe I could sell that idea to stores!
It will be a lot quicker!
And a lot cheaper!
I think my mom is ecstatically happy that I’m too big to push around in the grocery basket now. 🙂
I hope I’m never too big to ride in the cart! It’s the best place to bug Chris!
