Holiday Jolly Muscle
It’s pretty easy to increase your jolly muscle over the holiday season.
(This comic strip was previously published on December 28, 2009.)
Our friend from the south, Red Dwyer, had her adopted Wombie Claret make us all mocha lattes when we visited her gang. Red’s original post can be seen on The M3 Blog.
Jolly muscle sounds so much better than beer belly !
I think so too!
Yes me too 🙂
My jolly muscle protests profusely!!!!
So does mine!
Mine too…
Maybe we should go on a jolly muscle protest march. Or a protest eating binge.
I think an eating binge is far better than…marching.
And much better on the tummy!
I am all for the binge party Winky 🙂
I thought you might be!
I am just getting our party hats ready 🙂
Mine, also!!
I think we need a jolly muscle party to celebrate! With lots of chocolate and wine gums and pancakes and milkshakes!
Thank you for requesting to view my Space itpen315,barb 🙂 I hope that you will enjoy your visit but watch out for the Werewolf 🙂
And the pancake stealing zombies!
Yes those too 🙁
Thank you for allowing me access. This was actually my second request The first was early last year. So, I really appreciate it.
I am sorry about that my friend, that request must have been lost somehow as I don’t recall it 🙁 Thank you for your visit and do call again sometime soon 🙂
Zombies eat junk mail. Apparently, entrance requests as well?
Those stinking Zombies will eat anything going Red 🙁
That’s okay, just glad to be in now. Left a couple of comments for you there.
Yes I have seen them and thank you for calling in 🙂
Ah, the famed Santa Defense. “I can’t help it your honor! I just had to break into houses and eat their cookies!”
That’s like me and chocolate! How can you not eat it if it’s there?
I couldn’t.
Me neither!
I can hear an attorney spouting that, pulling on a pair of suspenders beneath a seersucker suit.
I wouldn’t mind a sucker suit if it was made out of wine gums!
It’s so true. I need to get working on my extra jolly muscle from this year.
I don’t need to work on mine. It’s doing pretty well by itself!
Hahaha… tomato / to-mah-to…
🙂
Are they chocolate covered?
hahah…I love this joke.
That’s not a joke, that’s my tummy!
It’s way to easy to increase that muscle (fat) over the holiday season indeed. Bugger.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
And I’ve worked hard on my jolly muscle this season!
I thought you were in year-round training.
I work extra hard on the holidays! It’s my favorite eating season!
Mine too 🙂
🙂
My jolly muscle doubles as a beer coaster.
Maybe I could use mine for milkshakes.
It works for anything that fits in a mug. Oh, Gummy Bears fit in a mug!
What else fits in a mug?
You said the G word!
Wombies only eat wine gums.
We’re special.
Me, Deb and Red
eat them too Winky 🙂
I know! You’re all honorary Wombies!
Haribo macht Kinder froh – und Erwachsene ebenso
Haribo smak radości
Haribo è la bontà – che si gusta ad ogni età
Kids and grown-ups love it so – the happy world of Haribo
Oh no, you’ve been indoctrinated!
I would eat these if I could find them: http://www.sweets-online.com/images/produkte/3266-03266.jpg
We do have a few Haribo products around here, but the only place I’ve seen their wine gums is online. Maybe they don’t really produce them, but just want to get on the good side of the Wombies.
I like the jolly muscle. I’ll be using that this week.
I use mine all the time!
I dunno after this holiday I think I would rather call mine a Jolly Muscle than a gut
Jolly muscle is a lot more festive!
I think Winky had too much chocolate and wine gums over the holidays. Time to get on the treadmill! 🙂
No, not the treadmill! Maybe the popcorn machine instead.
How about a few pancakes to get us in the mood for our Easter Eggs 🙂
I’m planning for Valentine’s Day first!
Yes have you got a
lady Wombie in mind? 🙂
Maybe. I’d better not say.
Well I won’t tell anyone 🙂
It’s another one of those you know who secrets!
Don’t tell me he has a lady-friend.
Who? Andro? I think he does!
No we are talking about Winky don’t let him change the subject or we might not get to know all of his secrets 🙁 Red he has lots of secrets to tell us 🙂
Who’s Winky? He sounds like a nice guy.
You of course unless
it’s a disguise? 🙂 Shhhhh
I guess it might be. I wonder if he’s really that other guy?
What!? Uh oh, I better hit the gym.
I think the kitchen is much more appealing.
Ahh! I have the same problem!
I don’t think it’s a problem. It gives me room for more chocolate!
Winky, I brought you a triple size chocolate milkshake with all your favorite chocolate topping for you to down so that you can shake your jolly muscle….be careful not to get a cramp. 🙂
Wow Deb can I have some? 🙂 Pleeeeeeeease
Deb always brings plenty for all of is!
Yes, and I brought your all a sheet pan of powdered donuts….some have chocolate centers so you’ll have to eat one at a time till you find them.
That won’t be too hard!
Done!
No I am all for a treasure hunt especially when the treasure is yummy foodstuffs 🙂 Thank you Deb 🙂
Yeah, food is the best kind of treasure!
I knew it would.
Today I shopped and bought extra chocolate kisses. I picked you each up and bag, so that ought to last about…5 minutes. but there so good.
One of these bags are for are wonderful friend Andro!
Yay I knew that you wouldn’t forget me 🙂 Wow a whole bag of chocolate kisses all for me mmmmm 🙂
Yes, of course I remembered you. 🙂
Now eat those up and will dig into the eclairs and marshmallows.
I love chocolate eclairs!
I know you do. That’s why I brought some more. twice as many.
You know how to make me happy!
It was a very nice 5 minutes, though! Thanks, Deb!
Eclairs are so delicious Deb, thank you for those 🙂 Wow I always enjoy calling into Wombania, it is not just filled with all of my greatest friends but I get to eat lots of yummy foodstuffs too 🙂
It wouldn’t be Wombania without all those special treats! I think it’s time for some pirate pizza and milkshakes!
All my favorite friends are here too, Andro. I guess we all have this one place in common…and the treats too.
I brought more eclairs and left them with Winky so you best get one or two before there all gone.
Yeah, it’s kind of dangerous to leave me in charge of the eclairs! I’ll try my best not to eat them all!
Your welcome, not eat the one I just brought you before they stale.
You don’t have to worry about treats going stale around me!
Thank you Deb I am watching Winky like a Hawk, he has always been greedy around eclairs but I think that there will be enough for Fraz and Me 🙂 I wonder if Binky and Tink will want one? 🙂
And Twink, Dink and everyone else too 🙂 You only have to mention eclairs, wine gums or pancakes and marshmallows to get a lengthy queue started 🙁 I hope there is plenty to go round 🙂
Luckily Deb knows me, so she brought plenty of chocolate eclairs and milkshakes for all of us! That’s a pretty big truck she has!
Of course you can Andro. I always leave extra for the taking when I drop milkshake off. 🙂
I have already sampled some and mmmmm you know how to make milkshakes taste absolutely delicious 🙂 Thank you 🙂
How about fixing me some of the toast, cheese and jam your turned my on to a few years ago….I love some right about now.
Three slices coming straight up Deb I hope that you are hungry as I have added a very generous amount of jam and chees on those, but do watch out for Cedric as he likes his cheeses you know 🙁 xxx
I’m eating them now…..Mmmm! Just what I needed. I was so hungry.
Yes, I know, Cedric loves cheese. I can’t really blame him for that, but this batch is mine. 🙂
Is that like cream cheese, or sliced cheese? I think I need to try this myself!
Well when I make them at home I use sliced cheddar cheese of swiss. But when Andro makes them they are just the yummiest, so you’ll have to ask him what his secret is. 🙂
I’ll have to try that!
The jam makes it sweet, so I’m sure you will like it, Winky!
It sounds tasty to me…well, come to think of it, everything does.
That’s just like me!
Almost anything with jam is good, so I bet I’ll like it, Deb!
How about Jam and
Cheese on a scone? 🙂
I’ll go for that!
I just made you a pizza, well, okay, so I didn’t make it. But I did get if from Fraz’s Pizzeria…the best pizza on earth.
Mmmmm and don’t we all know it 🙂
Yes, and it comes with treats, as you know, and Fraz being so generous knowing this pizza was for you gave me 3 of each of your favorites treats, and a large portion of sprouts…he must keep those just for you.
Yeah! I sure don’t keep those sprouts for me!
I know, but I keep lots of chocolate ice cream on hand for you.
That’s a lot more yummy than sprouts!
I agree…lets have a big bowl of it!
Do I get some too? I need to celebrate too!
Of course, Winky! I knew you might show up for a bowl. How about we have extra large bowls…good for the belly. 🙂
I like the sound of those bowls Deb 🙂
I like the sound and taste of those bowls, too!
I like eating sprouts Fraz so don’t worry I can soon finish mine and eat all of yours too 🙂
I know I can count on you to eat my sprouts, Andro! I wish I could email them to you when Twink makes me eat them!
Drop them on the floor…I’ll eat them. 🙂
I tried that before! Twink just gave me more! I wish I knew magic to make them disappear!
Genie time!
Genie took off on a little holiday to the Caribbean!
I hope no one finds her, and keeps her.
They’d better not! I think Genie would escape if someone tried to keep her.
Maybe Genie can magic
some sprouts over here? 🙂
Sure! Just email her!
That’s sure to keep my jolly muscle in shape! Thanks, Deb!
You’ve welcome Winky!
I didn’t mean to cut off so quickly. I had to put Cici to bed.
But I return with a great big chocolate ice cream cake with wine gums sprinkles.
Mmmm! It’s too bad it’s past Fraz’s bedtime! I’ll try to save him some for when he gets up.
Save me some too Winky 🙂
I did! But you’d better get some now before the morning rush! Fraz won’t leave anything uneaten!
That’s okay, I never come without a treat for all of you. Today I make chocolate and peanut butter sandwiches….they takes like Reese’s peanut butter cups. So a huge tray of those along with extra thick chocolate shakes to wash it down with. Now you mind to save Andro some for when he comes to visit you later.
I need to start taking notes! Chocolate peanut butter sandwiches sound yummy, too!
Yes the Zombies lunch went missing the other evening too 🙂 How do you mean how come they eat their lunches in the evening? 🙁 Well it is the only time of the day when they stop rattling their cages 🙂 Fraz makes excellent Zombie cages 🙂
I followed your plans, Andro. You know a lot more about zombies than I do!
You are one of my best students, mind you those Zombies can be pretty nasty sometimes, and they are pretty nasty smelling too 🙁
I know! I’m gonna wear a gas mask the next time I check those traps!
Sounds pretty icky.
Zombies are! That’s why we have to trap them! Plus they like to eat your brains!
They have started eating eclairs too so we will have to watch out for any eclair eating Zombie types 🙂
Those are the worst kind of zombies!
What to my wandering eyes should appear, five extra pounds on my hips, thighs, and rear.

Now now Joyce don’t be getting upset, here have some of my chocolates, we need to enjoy them and not worry about any consequences afterwards 🙂 Happy New Year Joyce 🙂
That’s just like me!!
Yes but don’t tell everyone or they will all want some 🙂 They will definitely want your chocolates too so watch out for that development 🙁
Luckily I have my factory, so everyone can have my chocolates!
Yes there is always plenty to go round, and round, and round again 🙂
It’s like a non-stop round circle thingy!
Yes it is a wheeel of plenty 🙂
And it is wheely wheely good too 🙂
I bet it wheely is!
🙂
I could just drink one of those right now 🙂 Hey and the Jolly Nuscle is definitely increasing, noooo on YOU Winky not me, I have been good over Christmas you know 🙂
The Jolly Muscle too, the Nuscle is something completely different 🙁 How do you mean what is it? 🙂 Well on Planet Goo it is an Exploding Carrot, on Jupiter it is Cosmic Lingerie, on Mars a Dish of Aliens Socks and here on Earth it is a Keyboard Typo 🙂
That nuscle sounds like pretty strange stuff to me!
It is a slip of the fingers Winky but certainly something to watch out for 🙁
Okay, I will! I haven’t seen any yet, though.
Keep looking 🙂
I will! I wouldn’t want any of those nuscles to steal my chocolates!
No and I will be making sure that
they don’t pinch any of mine too 🙂
We might have to set some nuscle traps to go with the zombie traps.
I will tell Fraz to grab one of Binky’s inventions and then we can trap both the Nuscles and the Mmelly Zombies in one go 🙂
We’d better hurry! I hear them coming!
I worked really hard on my jolly muscle over the holidays. So it’s not surprising it’s bigger! I think you need to eat more, Andro.
I am thinking along the same lines as you Winky 🙂 I need more chocolate 🙂
You need to visit my chocolate factory and stay awhile.
I am just packing my cape and extra sharpened fangs, I just hope that Fraz hasn’t eaten all the gummystakes and chocolate garlic surprise 🙁
I don’t think Fraz likes those garlic ones. He’s a junior vampire in training!
Yes I train him well, but luckily these garlic one’s are just chocolates filled with a sweet pancake flavoured fudge 🙂
So the garlic ones don’t have any garlic?
No, not unless it says so on the jar 🙂
I’ll stay away from those, then.
Winky, I love your jolly muscle!! Don’t let anyone tell different…it’s very attractive!
Thanks, Barb! I kind of do think it’s me.
Yes it’s you alright 🙂
That’s good because I don’t really think I can change.
Me neither but you are fine the way you are, and that’s handy because I have brought you a large helping of triple chocolate dessert 🙂
That should help my jolly muscle! Thanks, Andro!
You’re welcome but did you notice there were two spoons? 🙂 Well I wouldn’t want you to get too full now would I Winky? 🙂
Dessert is always better with a friend!
I disagree with Twink. I definitely believe it’s a Jolly Muscle Winky. Solidarity bro solidarity…
I think so, too. I think one day they’ll discover the jolly muscle. And maybe even name it after me!
Winkywobblytum 🙂
That’s a good name! I think I’ll name it that!
So if your playing with your tummy people can say “Hey leave your Winky alone”
I think I’ll name it Winkywobblytum like Andro suggested!
Yes Winky I think that it
has a jolly jingle to it 🙂
Yeah, it’s a jolly Winkywobblytum!
o.O
Cedric are you still
eating your Christmas
cheeses?
That’s all gone Mister Andro. I am currently just finishing my Friday the 4th cheese.
Is that scary cheese, like Friday the 13th cheese?
It could be a kind of
independence type cheese 🙂
I wonder how independent? Like go out by itself and stay out late kind of independent?
You get a free leash
with every cheese 🙂
I’d rather get a free chocolate.
Independently yummy Mister Andro, independently yummy…
Cheese is pretty yummy, but not compared to chocolate!
No Winky it’s just my daily cheese allowance. I wish it’d hurry up & turn midnight ‘cos I’ve already finished my Saturday the 5th cheese. Hurry up Sunday the 6th I’m hungry!!!
That’s kind of like me and chocolate. But since I own a chocolate factory, I can have all the chocolate I want! Maybe you should get a cheese factory, Cedric.
I bet there is none left for this evening Cedric, not with your agnawing cheese eating habits 🙁 lol Happy New Year Cedric 🙂
I do tend to gnaw it away pretty quickly. Maybe Willy Wonka could develop a never ending cheese gobstopper in his factory
I could try. But I’m not really a cheese expert like you.
Me neither but I will tell Winky Wonka for you, he is always making new and very tasty new chocolates, even in the cheesey choc flavoured department 🙂
I do kind of like my cheesy chocolates!
Winky, you know that jolly muscle becomes a flotation device when you get in the pool. You need to tell Twink it could save you from drowning.
That’s right! Jolly muscle is a proven safety device! It’s also like my own personal airbag!
Peter, thank you for posting Claret!
You’re welcome, Red. There’s one more to come in your series.
It’s a wonderful piece of art Red 🙂
I think you may like one of the ones I am going to do later in the month. 🙂
Everyone seems to get a larger “jolly muscle” during the holidays.
Isn’t that what the holidays are for?
Nothing wrong with calling it a “Jolly Muscle”.
Yeah, I don’t think so. My jolly muscle is pretty jolly!
Jolly Mustles are cute on Wombies, they’re super lucky.
And Claret is LOVELY!! 😀
Hope you’re all having a great weekend!
Unfortunately it doesn’t look as good on us!
Hope you’re having a good time, too, Cha.
A few hundred sit ups everyday will turn that tummy into muscle!
Well I don’t ever have to worry about that happening!
How about if you do press ups? 🙂 I could line up a few hundred wine gums and as you lower yourself down to the ground you can lick up a few to keep your energy levels topped up during your twice nightly and four times every morning press up routines 🙂
I have a better idea. I’ll lie on the floor, and you drop wine gums into my mouth! That way I still get all those wine gums, but don’t have to do any press ups!
That is pure Genius 🙂
You should write a book
on Winky Get Out of Exercising
Techniques 🙂
My New Year’s resolution was to do as little exercise as possible this year.
Wow, I’ve had a jolly muscle all along and I just thought it was a pot gut. Actually I have furniture disease. My chest just fell down in my drawers.
I don’t know about that furniture thing, but I think a lot of people have a big jolly muscle without even knowing it!
Peter don’t forget to collect your bravery award from my Space, it is there for everyone without fear of entering My Gothic Realm 🙂 I hope that you are enjoying a wicked evening too my great friend 🙂
I think some of your guests may be braver than others! Have a brave weekend, Andro!
Thank you Peter 🙂
I hope the snow clears
and that your week is
a very happy one 🙂 🙂
The snow is melting and it’ll be warmer this week. They’ll be plenty more snow to come later, I’m sure.
More like jolly mushle.
It is a bit soft.
Softer than most I think 🙂
I’m cuddly!
Yes you are Winky!!
I bet it’s warm sleeping on your tummy 😉
Warm and cushy!
There’s nothing wrong with Jolly muscle!! in fact, It’s quite cute 😉
I like to think so!
That wasn’t nice.
http://joycelansky.blogspot.com
I know! I think I need to eat something to feel better.
Your tummy looks nice, so don’t worry 🙂
Thanks, Sabina! My tummy’s all me!
Those jolly muscles are quite common.
I think jolly muscle will be a new fad.
