Metaphorically Speaking
If you don’t know the rules of English grammar, someone will usually be happy to tell you.
(This comic strip was previously published on March 15, 2010.)
Our writer friend Androgoth, who also likes to indulge in art, drew this picture of Fraz walking a tightrope on a quest to discover the pirate’s secret chocolate stash. No word on whether Fraz found it or not.
I think Binky’s making a mountain out of a haystack
So do I!
Hahaha… don’t worry, Winky… mine was never approved in the first place!
🙂
No one ever told me I needed a license!
If it’s good enough for 007 then you
can feel proud with yours Winky 🙂 🙂
Except mine got revoked!
omg a license o-0 Winky don’t worry, we will work out something
I hope so! I might not be able to say anything!
Those damn grammar police.
Binky’s going to fine you for a naughty word!
Loon wash your mouth out
with soap immediately 🙂 lol
And then eat some chocolate!
And we will help her eat it too 🙂
We wouldn’t want Loon to eat alone!
Not a bad way to die if you ask me. 😀
Yeah, it wouldn’t be!
Forests with chocolate
pudding in them, I like it 🙂
I would love that kind of forest
Maybe we could all move there?
Soma and I have already moved into it but don’t worry Winky there is still plenty of room for you and all of those yummy chocolate supplies that you are bringing along with you 🙂 We will help you eat them all too 🙂
Okay! I hope you have a nice little camp area in the forest. I like camping! As long as they’re no snakes!
Only chocolate and wine gum ones 🙂
They’re okay because we can eat them!
Don’t worry, Winky, all the other Wombies would understand you!..Well, maybe Fraz would.
I think it’s just Binky that has a problem!
He did, with your metaphor.
No worries though. I have S’mores for you! 🙂
They’re better than any license!
I think you should make them in your factory.
I could! Easter bunny S’mores!
Now those would be a hit! 🙂
I’m working on them! It’ll be S’mores Easter!
Can I have one now, Winky?
Sure, you can have a sneak peek. Or a sneak taste!
That was good. I’ll tell ma! She’ll be your first big customer!
She can be my first regular customer! I sent the first batches of my Easter S’mores to the Easter Bunny!
He must of got them cos all the Easter S’mores the Easter Bunny left for my Wombies had your factory label on them…thank you, Winky! 🙂
You’re welcome! I hope everyone enjoys their Easter S’mores this Easter!
Yes Binky is the only one who has a problem, why i thought Winky would get a prize for using such a brilliant metaphor
Yeah, I should have gotten a prize!
Like a new chocolate factory! Or better yet, Winky chocolate stores scattered all around the world!
That would be great! But I’m not sure I could make enough chocolate to fill all the stores!
As long as there is enough chocolate yummies for our gang then that will do for now 🙂
Yeah, that’s what I’ve been concentrating on. But Deb’s gang is growing!
Maybe we could just get your a chocolate shop on the island just so I could shop there every week…or day. 😉
That’d be a way to make sure your gang doesn’t miss out on their chocolate!
Well, they don’t miss out on much now. I usually just order direct from you chocolate factory online and it gets shipped right to my door. 🙂
I hope you got my special Easter S’mores shipment!
Just in time too!
Happy Easter, aunt Deb!
Happy Easter, Winky! 🙂
Has the chocolate shop moved to
the island now Winky? I hope so 🙂
I need to have a small chocolate factory on the island so we don’t run out!
That’s what I was thinking about before, but then thought being that the island wouldn’t allow a big ugly factory I’d get you a Chocolate beach shop (with a large storage room) that get’s deliveries from your factory.
That sounds even better! Then I can sit out on my beach chair when I’m waiting around for customers!
Really like Fraz on the tight rope! 🙂
Fraz often likes to walk a tightrope around here!
Your right about that. 🙂
His balancing skills are almost as
good as his Zombie trap making ones 🙂
Andro he should have a Nat geo. programme “choco extremes” oh the things he would do to find chocolates
I always wanted a TV show!
He surfs on crocodiles to reach his favourite island where chocolate and marshmallow sandals are eaten all the time 🙂 No idea why he makes chocolate sandals though, maybe it is a Roman connection? 🙂
I make them so I can eat them!
I never thought of that one 🙁
I use it for my emergency chocolate supply in case I run out!
Whole new meaning to toe cheese. Eww.
I learned from the best!
Thanks Deb 🙂 xxx
Your welcome, Andro! 🙂
Bwahahahahahahaha. A forest of chocolate pudding didn’t fit at all.
Have a terrific day. ☺
It might be a nice place to live though!
Wow… that’s a good power to have!
I think Binky is power crazy!
Winky, were you the one who left the anonymous manuscript in my slush pile?
Was it about chocolate? Or wine gums?
Hard to tell.
I think you’d recognize my book. Even if you couldn’t read it. It was made of chocolate.
Obviously someone ate
it 🙂 I wonder WHO? 🙂
Oh, we had that one drizzled over scones. 🙂
No! Not my great work of art! It was for reading, not eating!
I read it first, then gobbled it down before Red could grab hold of it, noooo I mean the book with choco pages, wine gum words, marshmallow binding and pancake flavoured book markers 🙂 Mmmmm lovely
Well at least you read it first. Was it good? I mean the reading part, not the eating part.
The eating part got five stars.
That’s good.
What about the reading part?
It was all good Winky 🙂
That makes me feel better!
hehehe….good one Peter. 🙂
Thanks, Wendy.
I agree… this one’s fantastic, PDM… one of the best/worst metaphors I ever did see!!!
Namaste!
🙂
Thanks, Janet.
Oh come on Binky it was not that bad, after all a metaphor is like..like…like a chocolate pudding in the forest of marshmallow where the choco lava runs underground
and it is metaphor where metaphors are metaphorised…phew
That would have tied my fingers in a knot…
My spoon is melting with
all that chocolate lava lingo 🙁
I’ve never tasted chocolate lava before!
Have Chris Google “lava cake” for you. Mmmmmmmmmmm
I did! Twink is making some right now!
Can we have some? 🙂
Of course! Twink made enough for everyone! Well at least all of us here!
It is best as a sheet cake… or three.
I’ll definitely take as many cakes as I can get!
I believe your license needs to be reviewed too, Soma.
Yep! I’d take the license away too.

Some of us have to uphold the laws of English!
The question is …for how long? A mixed up metaphor wants to know.
I think Binky meant forever!
It could happen!
It would be kind of tasty if there was a flood of chocolate pudding!
Thank you for adding
my Fraz drawing Peter 🙂
You’re welcome, Andro. Fraz would be very disappointed if I didn’t!
Metaphor cops are always on the beat.
I never even knew they existed!
They are almost as persistent as the fashion police.
I guess I don’t have to worry about them much.
One of the many upsides of nudity.
I prefer furry!
I’d ask to see Binky’s license.
I didn’t even think of that!
Hey Binky!
Binky is being a bit of a metaphor snob!
He gets power crazy sometimes!
Happy Easter to all of Wombania and the guests! 🙂
Happy Easter to you too, Deb. I hope you and Mitch have a good one.
Thank you, Peter…the same to you, my friend! xo
🙂
Happy Easter, Wombania!!! 🙂
Love Winky’s metaphors. A poet can say whatever he wants. As long as it sounds lovely! 😀
Happy Easter to you, too, Cha!
I think Winky would really like being called a poet!
For what it’s worth Winky I thought it was a yummy metaphor but without the brains.
Thanks, Ed. I thought so too!
Hey Winky!!! If you don’t want the brains can I have them. Choc dipped brains sound awesome. Why waste perfectly good offal
Eww!! You almost make me not want to eat chocolate!
A good outcome then Winky. The less chocolate you eat the more there is for me & Ed
I said almost!
Drats… Maybe I should’ve included eating the eyes & ear wax & testicles too…
Oops, I forgot to change from Dixie…
I sure hope you didn’t eat Dixie!!
What;s popcorn got to do with chocolate pudding?
Umm, well, they’re both yummy!
Is there a popcorn with chocolate flavour out there?
Chocolate coated popcorn is yummy! Just take a look at the images on Google!
Winky!! don’t temp my daughter! She is not allowed to eat chocolate. I am blocking the world chocolate now.
Sorry, Novroz. But I just can’t help myself around chocolate! It’s so yummy! Yummy yummy yummy!
Hehehe…I wondered what popcorn had to do with chocolate…BUT popcorn covered with melted chocolate suddenly seems so yummy!
It is! Popcorn is good all by itself, but coated in chocolate it’s super good! I think I need to have some chocolate popcorn now.
Can I get that reinstated? His metaphors are delicious.
Yeah, I want my license back! I’m hungry!
