Invasion of the Wombies
Today’s comic strip has been preempted again to bring you another video from the Wombania archives. There’s a little more animation in this one, but not much. It was done as a parody of a trailer for a 50’s sci-fi film. Maybe one day this move will actually be made.
The previous video, Introducing the Wombies is also available.

Shock and awe…shock and awe 🙂
There’ll be a lot of that once the Wombie invasion begins. Take cover!
This is great, Binky!! When can we expect the movie?
And I love ” the scream ” !!
Well done – keep it up!
Thanks, Jan. I think it might be a long wait for the movie, though. Creative differences and all that.
Speaking of which, who is that screaming? Do we have an official voice actor for Chris?
Unfortunately, no. It was just some generic screamer I found.
I like the music too
Inspired by the old melodramatic radio shows of the past.
AOL Keyword??? haah
Stop being so observant, Bearman! I guess it sort of betrays the video’s age, doesn’t it?
A movie! Looking at the preview I know I want to see it!
Well at least that’s one person!
I can’t wait until it comes out on DVD.
Either can I! The current version is only 30 seconds long, though. The world’s shortest movie.
It may be short…but it’s still interesting 😉
It’s probably appropriate for today’s audiences since people have such short attention spans now.
Love it!
Like how his eyes narrow when the camera comes closer to him
I look forward to buying the first Wombania season or movie.
Thanks, Hjörtur. Hopefully that might be within my lifetime!
what is the life expentency of a genetically modified wombat ?
They’ve only been around for a few years, so we don’t really know. I’m hoping a very long time!
Cool videos.
I added you as a friend on youtube
Yay! Now I have a friend!
I’m probably going to be the critic here and say that it needs more Wombies.
Still funny as it is, though,
Yes, it does need more Wombies. But then again, is there anything that couldn’t use more Wombies?
Chris comes to mind
Chris would probably agree with you, but we don’t listen to him much.
I’d love to learn how to do flash animation! I got really into iMovie on my computer at one point, seems I’ve lost any memory of it now.. So sad! Just not enough time in the day, I tells ya..
I’ve never learned Flash. Probably would be easier than making these videos.
Hahaha –
unfortunately I’m WAY too familiar with triple question mark headgear! 🙂
It’s a fashion that’ll probably never go out of style for for guys.
That was cool as well as scary! I wanna know what happens next. 🙂
I’ll send you a free pass for the world premiere.
Great video Peter. Love the scream scene. Better than the shower scene in Psycho. Chris is related to the Wombies???
It’s a long and sorted story. Chris’s long-lost mad scientist uncle was, as a youngster, traumatized by vicious dog and vowed to create the world’s best pet. Years later he traveled the world looking for the best animal, and eventually choose the wombat. Through genetic engineering, he modified the wild wombat into the much more magnificent Wombie, but unbeknownst to him he contaminated their modified DNA with his own. Thus, Chris is actually related to the Wombies, though he will only reluctantly admit it.
Wow!!! That’s amazing. So does Chris have any Wombiefied super powers??? You never know what can happen with genetic engineering.
While the Wombies ended up with some human DNA mixed in with theirs, the humans (Dr. Franco and Chris) didn’t end up with any wombat DNA. But that is a great idea. What human couldn’t use a little improving? And there’s probably no better way to improve a human than to make him/her more wombat-like.
What happened to the meatballs??? They were on my RSS reader…
Meatballs got rescheduled for next Monday. But I did that a number of weeks ago, so how did the rss reader got that mixed up?
Don’t know it showed up in my RSS in the same post as this video. Anything can happen in cyberspace
Very odd, since mine shows only the Invasion video. I guess next Monday’s strip will be a repeat for some.
whats so bad about the wombies coming to live with you? i would like it 🙂
So would I, but a gang of wayward Wombies invading your home could be a bit overwhelming to some. Plus, your chocolate and wine gums would no longer be safe.
I want to go too. Looks like a lot of fun.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
Well maybe one day there will be a movie to go to. You never know!
It’s like this video was taken straight from my life. I didn’t know what the wombies were either, although my reaction was more measured when I found out.
We hope you weren’t too traumatized by the Wombie invasion.
Jeez, I think I saw one at the bottom of my garden this morning – looks like the invasion has started (gulp)
Any advice as to what we should do if we encounter a wombie?
a. run like hell
b. kick the **** out of it
c. offer it a whisky and try to befriend it
d. pour oneself a large whisky (or two, or three) and get drunk
I don’t know what Binky would advise but I recommend picking it up & giving it a big hug
Excellent answer, Tony! You get extra Wombie Bonus Points for that one.
The best solution would be offer the Wombie some chocolate and wine gums, and then speak to him/her in a calm and gentle voice, saying something like, “Yes, I will obey you, great Wombie master.”
After that music I am not sure if I will have a peaceful sleep tonight 🙁
And those nightmares of the Wombies invading your home probably won’t help any, either.
Jeezers, Chris!! Was it really such a shock to find out that wombies are really a relative or was that just a normal reaction when he hears that relatives are coming for a long stay? ( the 2nd would be my reaction, hehee)
I look forward to more wombie movies, great job!
For most people I think it would be rather unsettling to find out you were related to a line of genetically modified talking wombats. And then having the Wombies invade your home would probably be enough to put you over the edge.
I love the way you say you found a generic screamer. Are there generic screamers just drifting through cyberspace looking for videos to be played in?
There probably are, considering the state of the world these days, and considering how many would-be actors are looking for work. Even Wombie work.
Cute! I definitely want to see the movie.
Now all I have to do is make it!
