Hoarding Wombie Style
When it comes to hoarding, Wombies are pretty efficient pack rats.
(This comic strip was previously published on April 9, 2009.)
Our friend and writer Andro drew a picture of Binky as the Yo-Yo Chocolate Champ of 2013. You can see some of Andro’s videos on his YouTube Channel.
If you give them an inch, they’ll take a mile.
You know it!
lol…:)
Hey Deb you were really quick getting in here to post, hmm… if it’s not Loon it’s you that always pips me to the post 🙁 lol Have a lovely afternoon Deb and be good 🙂 xxxx
You have to get up pretty early to get the first place chocolate prize around here!
Yay…I win! You know where to send it…lol 🙂
Hopefully your prize doesn’t get eaten on the way to the post office.
Between post office drop off and pick up, I doubt I’ll ever see the chocolate prize. 😉
I didn’t eat it, honest!
Me neither!
I bet you were tempted though. 😉
Your chocolate prize did look delicious!
What was it?
A large chocolate cup trophy!
Wow!….How did it taste?
I don’t know! I didn’t eat it. I think it might have been your mailman.
Oh, that’s right, you did tell me that.
Well I think you need some chocolate donuts and a milkshake for missing out on that. 🙂
Okay, you talked me into it!
That wasn’t too hard. 🙂
Donuts and milkshakes are hare to argue with!
Yes and don’t I know it 🙁 lol Maybe one of these mornings I will be the one with chocolate treats 🙂
You have to get up pretty early to beat Loon. Well, sometimes at least.
I think it’s just a matter which of us sees the post first. Your day starts hours before mine.
You have a great day, my friend! 🙂
Andro has an edge over the Americas, but Loon in Australia has an even bigger advantage.
I know, I have no idea how many hours they are ahead, but she usually makes it here first. 🙂
Loon’s 12 hours ahead of us I think, and Andro would be 5.
Oh my, she’s about ready to call it a night by the time I get up.
I guess that would depend on how early or late you get up, and how early/late Loon goes to bed!
That’s true. 🙂
🙂
i should live in Japan to be early but this time i am days late 🙁
Maybe you can get the first poster chocolate trophy next week.
I will try and remember that next time, but it’s okay Deb I will share my chocolates with you should I be first to arrive 🙂 Yaaaay xxx
You can have any chocolate I have, and being a Wombie mom I just happen to have some with me….I’ll share it with you.
I could use a little chocolate too, aunt Deb!
You should automatically know I’m going to share with you, Fraz!…and for everyone else too. 🙂
Yay! I knew you would share!
Of course…and I brought milkshake for you and everyone too. 🙂
Double yay!
You know, only you could be clever of enough to have thought about chocolate on a yo-you, Andro!…Love it! 🙂
Andro should patent that before Winky starts making them in his chocolate factory.
Andro is so kind he will likely give the patent to Winky. 🙂
I sure hope he does! Of course, Andro can have as many chocolate yo-yos as he wants!
I’d like a big box of them shipped to the island….better make it a few!…big ones!
You can have the first yo-yos that come off the line!
Thank you. I don’t know how big they are, or ow many come in a case, so I’ll leave it up to you how much to send me. 🙂
Wow chocolate Yo-Yo’s I can’t wait to try some, and knowing Winky they will be triple choc with fudge and cookie chip chocolate too so it will be a very nice surprise 🙂
I’ll send you a couple of big boxes, Deb!
They are! With a fudge center!
I’ll send you a couple of boxes, too, Andro!
Mmmm. you better send me an extra box for my own private stash.
Okay, I’ll send two extra boxes just for you. I’ll label it “Brussels Sprouts” and pack it in an air-tight container so your gang won’t find out.
That’s a really good idea, Winky!…thank you!
And to show my appreciation I’m shipping you a truck load of sugar to use in your factory….plus this extra, extra thick chocolate milkshake covered with choc-sprinkles!
I need to send you chocolate yo-yos more often!
You know I got the just the clan to eat them up too!
Oh no! They were supposed to be just for you!
No worries. I’ll put them away for my self in my chocolate vault. 🙂
Good, they should be safe there!
Yes, but it’s always a pleasure to share it with them. 🙂
Sharing is good, but it’s nice to have a little chocolate for yourself, too.
Hey, you guys. I was busy. I am feeling my shelf is empty.,
Busy hoarding your chocolates? Or maybe eating them if your shelf is empty.
I don’t mind helping Loon clear those shelves 🙂
If Loon’s shelves are full of chocolate, I’d be happy to help too!
Made my back hurt just looking at it – and then my head! Hopefully it’s stuff that was laying around already – that might help Chris feel a bit better… maybe.
🙂
And unfortunately they have a whole lot more stuff just laying around.
Reminds me of right after I finish doing the laundry and get the satifaction that it is all done. That feeling lasts for aboout 12 minutes before something ends up in the hamper.
Our work is never really done, no matter how much work you do.
Wow they were really quick getting their stuff in there Chris but never mind you can always build another bookcase 🙂
I think as many as I could build, they could fill. It would be a never ending cycle.
Yes but a lot of fun building them, and you might even get a chocolate Yo-Yo as a surprise, well if there’s any left of course? 🙂
I can tell you one thing, there’s rarely any chocolate left around here!
With enough shelves, there will never be anything on the floor.
That’s true, but I’m not sure if I have enough wall space!
This is a great cartoon Peter I think poor Chris needs to be a bit quicker next time 🙂 lol
Thank you for adding my art work, that drawing is one of my favourites even though I say it myself 🙂 lol Have a fun trest of day and a wicked evening Peter 🙂
You’re welcome, Andro. It’s always fun to see your fan art and to post them here.
Thanks again Peter 🙂
🙂
I know I want a chocolate yo-yo… especially if the string is a long black licorice whip.
I prefer the strawberry non-licorice licorice.
That made my head spin. Is there any chocolate there? I’m betting there is.
Have a fantastic day. 🙂
I’m sure there is some chocolate in there, but I wouldn’t dare touch it!
oh my… that looks a lot like me – when I see empty space I ALWAYS already have plenty to fill it up.. pack rats, hoarders, can’t throw a thing out… we’re all the same…
At least they put it on the shelf neatly!!
🙂
Yes, I guess I should give them that.
Heyyy my friends! 😀 Funny one!! Love Andro’s drawing, as usual!! xx
Thank you, Cha. I hope you’re surviving your classes over there!
This toon really strikes a chord with me … not the hoarding so much but you can’t believe how many times that ‘Woosh’ spiral thing shows up in my daily life! W.C.C.
I can relate. It’s a dizzy life. Especially with Wombies.
I never had empty space for long.

Me neither!
Sounds like me! 🙂
I guess you don’t have much extra shelf space, then.
Wombies abhor a vacuum.
We do!
At least they are tidy pack rats
I guess that’s something to be thankful for.
There never is enough space. 🙂
No, there never is.
wow…they sure move faster than Flash and Supermam
You should see how fast they move when there’s chocolate involved.
Mommy said Chocolate has high sugar…and that’s why it will make the wombies move faster.
That’s true. Wombies are powered by chocolate, and motivated by chocolate, too.
If only everyone can be motivated by chocolate like the wombies .. it will make things a lot easier
It would be a Wombie world! Well I guess it sort of is around here.
Packed in!
And no room to move!
hahaha…that reminds me of our house. 🙂
It’s hard to get away from these days!
I only see pack Wombies.
We are lacking in rats over here.
Pack Rats are closely related to Unpack Rats. Both species come in handy when you ove house.
Ove house???
I mean’t Move house
We’ll invite you and Barry over the next time we’ve got any packing or unpacking to do.
Molly’s vacuum only ever gets filled with dust.
That doesn’t sound very tasty. A vacuum filled with chocolate is much better!
Maybe if we scatter chocolates under te bed she will suck them up next time she vacuums
Scatter chocolates??
With Wombies around, I can guarantee you will beat the five-second rule.
A chocolate dropped is a chocolate scooped up before it hits the floor!
Fact. If I get a shelf unit, I learn that I have more belongings.
It’s the same around here. I believe it’s the second law of shelf dynamics.
boy you wombies are fast. I AM the hoarder, so I would need someone to come purge mine away!
We can be pretty fast when we want to be!
I like to hoard chocolate myself.
I TRY yo hoard chocolate, unfortunately it always finds it way into my tummy 😉 If your speedyness worked for cleaning I would hire you & have planty of chocolate, winegums & spam on hand 🙂
Most of my chocolate ends up in my tummy, too!
I’d clean your house for chocolate and wine gums!
That’s how it is at our house. Whenever space is made available, it’s quickly taken over. I would love to see what a prolonged cleared desktop looks like. 🙂
I think empty space no longer exists in our universe.
Whose box is labeled “stuff”?
I’d bet it was Fraz’s box.
I know where they are coming from…I never met an empty spot I couldn’t fill!!
Neither have the Wombies!
It’s even sadder when I declutter and then find myself cluttering the space again!
Cluttering is a lot more fun than de-cluttering!
