Mouse Trap
You can get away with a lot of things when you’re cute.
(This comic strip was previously published on August 19, 2010.)
Androgoth made another video talking about Wombania and the space rocket Binky is making. You can see more of Andro’s videos on his YouTube channel.
No one wants to see cute things getting killed. 😉
I couldn’t kill anything! Even if it wasn’t cute!
Me neither!
We could go after some chocolate, though.
Now that I could go for! Let’s raid the kitchen.
Okay! We just have to wait until Twink is busy.
I’ll take her shopping!
Good idea! We’ll keep some extra chocolate for you, Tink!
You can have what you save for me…I want to get in my summer swimsuit this year.
You look good no matter what size you are, Tink!
In that case, thank you…and I’ll take to the late night show too.
Take me to the late show? Or your chocolate?
Sorry Winky, I was accepting the choco offer since you think I look good no matter what size I am. And I took Twink to the late show last night so you’d have more kitchen raid time…But don’t tell her.
Oh, okay! We did notice Twink was gone a long time! Long enough for use to clean out the kitchen! Thanks, Tink!
Your welcome, Winky!
I made a special truffle-filled heart chocolate for you to say thanks!
Mmmm….these are good.
I think I’ll exchange my swimsuit for a moo moo this summer.
I like a Wombie with some curves!
I have one big curve…in the middle.
Big tummies are good!
Then I must be really good since I have a bubble belly.
That’s what Wombies are supposed to have!
I could!
Well I hope you don’t go after me!
I would try to go after you, just mice, Ah, you would happen to have a chocolate one do ya?
A chocolate mouse? No. But maybe I could make you one.
my..’t went mia!
You can? Please make it artificially flavored please!
Artificially mouse flavored? I’m not sure how to do that.
Naaaah!…Chocolate favored!
Oh, you wanted artificial chocolate! I think I should be able to do that.
Yeah, I can’t have the real stuff…thanks Winky!
I’ll make it with only dog-friendly ingredients!
Thank you, Winky! Mom made a milkshake for me to give to you or being so nice….it’s really, really big!
Thanks, Cici! I finally finished making your special doggie chocolate. I hope you like it!
Mmmm! Those were good! I hope you keep lots of these on hand!
I want some too!
I made some for you, too, Cassie! And I made some doggie cookies for both of you, too.
Don’t worry, Cici, I’ll make more so there’ll be plenty for both of you.
Mmmm….Nom, nom, nom, nom nom…gulp. That was good, Winky!
Oh yeah, mom sent me over with a big chocolate milkshake for you!
Nom, nom, nom, nom, nom…burb! I liked those, Winky! Thank you!
I’ll go home and pull over another wagon of chocolate peanut butter cake for you!
Thanks for the milkshake, Cassie!
And thanks for the cake, Cici!
I’ve made some more treats for both of you.
I’ll eat mine later. I’m scared right now because mom is running the dryer, and it squeaks a little.
She’s feel better soon. Mom gave her some peanut butter with and put something in it that will calm her down.
Mommy drugged Cassie’s peanut butter?? I hope she hasn’t been putting anything in my milkshakes!
No, she wouldn’t do that. But Cassie has a very bad nervous disorder that has to be treated cos she acts like she going to have a nervous break down. She don’t like the sound of rain, buzzer (like on the dryer) or and certain other bell sounds.
Oh. poor Cassie. I can get kind of excited sometimes, too.
Thanks Winky! Let’s have a cookie or two, or three!
I can never refuse a cookie!
I couldn’t either!
Maybe you could hunt down some doggy treats instead.
Now that I’m good at! And look like I had a face lift when I hear the “c,” word (cookie)
I love cookies too! Maybe not quite as much as chocolate, but almost!
My cookies are shaped like bones. But I bet I’d like one of your cookies even better!
Yeah, but you probably shouldn’t have them. Maybe I could make you some Spam cookies.
Mmmm!!!! Spam!!!
I’ll make you cookies, and Cassie doggie chocolate. But you can both share, and have some of each.
Hey, your pictures just changed!
That sound great, Winky!…Mmmm, I can take it already!
Tink said she left a comment but accidentally added a “y” to her email address.
and I just forgot my “a” in my last name…my bad.
Oh yeah, mom was playing with our pics last night on the cell phone, so that’s why my pic changed…Cici’s did too.
I had Binky fix those typos for you!
It looks like both of you got new haircuts!
Mom cut my hair cos I stay still for it, but the pic of Cici is from a month or so ago. And she can only get facial trims at home cos she is a wiggle worm.
Little ones are like that, aren’t they? We Wombies never have to get our hair cut. It always stays at just the right length.
I wish ours would stay the right length all the time. Cos I don’t like hair cuts and neither does Cici. She’s fight to not get hers cuts. But we always feel better once it’s all cut, especially in the summer.
In the summer it would be nice to have less hair!
It is better. That way the sand don’t stick to us as much and a quick rinse after a trip to the beach goes faster too.
I’d like to be going to the beach now.
But you have a beach house….a chocolate cabin near the beach.
I know, and that’s where I’d like to be right now! But I’m up north in the cold! I can’t wait for spring!
Yeah, but it’s almost time to go there!
It’s getting close! Hurray spring!
Hahaha… well, technically Winky did ‘catch’ him. Maybe. Right?!
(I really like those little expression lines and the look on the mouse’s face… perfect!)
🙂
Thanks, Robert. I’m not very skilled at using those devices.
The mouse looks very surprised at what Twink said.
I think he was. He went into hiding after that.
He’ll be back when Twink goes into hiding…or just leaves the room.
Or when I get the peanut butter out again.
I always enter a room that smells like peanut butter.
I bet you make chocolate peanut butter sandwiches like I do!
Extra heavy with the peanut butter, dripping with chocolate?
That’s the only way to make them!
I got one in each of my pockets…you want one, Winky?
Sure! And I’ve got a bowl of wine gums for us too!
Thanks Winky! Your a real friend! 🙂
What to play toss and stick to the wall later?
Right after we finish eating!
I sure have been stuck up here a long time…I’m getting hungry!
Well no wonder! You missed breakfast! Get down from there and have some lunch!
I’m stuck!
Still?? I’ll get a crowbar and have you down right away.
Thud!…Thanks Winky! I don’t know what we use to stick me up there but I bet we could market it.
So what’s for lunch…I’m famished!
Super Wombie Glue! Binky invented it.
For lunch we’ve got pancakes and pancakes and more pancakes. And fudge for dessert.
Well it’s really good stuff.
Pancakes!…One of my favorites. I’ll have a few dozen or so of those and a bit plate of fudge.
Later we can see who can nap the longest.
I think that might be a close contest!
I bet you’d win, Winky! You have more experience in eating than any of us Wombies!
I do practice a lot! But you’re getting pretty good at eating, too.
Great shout out from Andro!
I agree!
Bwahahahahahaha. Not around here.
Loved the video.
Have a terrific day. ☺
Thanks, Sandee. Andro would have been glad to hear that.
There is such a big difference between the ones you buy and raise and the ones which decide they want to live in your house.
And I wish the wild ones would stay out!
D-Con. 😉
D-Con? Is that some sort of anti-mouse thing?
You could say that. Actually it is poison so you must stay away from it.
Don’t tell me you poison those poor little mices!
Well, Winky, it’s like this. I live in a house in the woods, and the amount of mice that live in those woods is enormous, and is just fine by me, but if they try to come in my house it will be the last time.
Here, have a milkshake to help you forget about it. 😉
I think I might need a couple more shakes to forget that.
Here ya go, Winky! I brought you a full pitcher of chocolate, peanut butter swirl…with a tub of chocolate whipped cream on top and chocolate chips.
Thanks, Deb. I’m starting to forget already.
🙂 Here, have another to finish the job. 🙂
Yep, I think that did it! Now all I remember is how yummy your milkshakes are.
Good! One more large one and a chocolate peanut butter cake or to really keep your mind on what you like best…goodies!
Yeah, goodies are what I like to think of!
Good, then maybe you can tell me what you think of these homemade walnut brownies with and extra fudge topping.
I don’t think I can because I’m too busy eating! And eating and thinking don’t go together!
That’s good enough answer for me. I’ll make some more for later this evening. Here’s some hot cocoa to wash it down. There’s little itsy btsy chocolate marshmallow floating on top.
That was good! Thanks, Deb. I think I need a nap.
Sweet dreams. 🙂
Careful Winky, you might run out of peanut butter.
That’s okay, so long as they don’t get into my chocolate!
id rather stay safe around wombania at least mice can be cute if little field mice and they like a bit of chocolate too now rats those are quite different scarey and quite dangerous i think i will go and get a peanut butter sarni and stay away from any rats
There are a couple of friendly rats that hang around here sometimes. Barry & Cedric, from Tasmania, mostly prefer cheese.
So Winky, how could you want to kill that poor little mouse? He might be kin to Barry or Cedric!!!
I didn’t want to kill him! I was making him a little peanut butter sandwich!
You still can, can’t you?
Make him a peanut butter sandwich? Sure.
Make him two…he’s got buddies. 🙂
Okay. But I hope he doesn’t have too many buddies.
Because you don’t want to use up the peanut butter?
A couple of mice are cute, but a horde of them aren’t!
No, they’d eat you out of house and home, and chew up house’s electrical wiring too.
That wouldn’t be good!
It could get very costly to repair…cutting into you chocolate factory funds.
Yikes! I’ll have to tell any house mice that they can’t go around chewing everything!
What if they don’t listen?
I guess I’ll have to be mean and evict them.
That’s why I use pest control. It’s a must living in the woods. It mostly just keeps the bugs and critters away so they live outside where they belong.
I built a mouse motel out back, so they can all live there.
Will it include a cheese bar?
That would be a good idea!
Maybe Cedric can help you with that.
There might not be much cheese left for the bar if Cedric helps, though.
Your right…bad idea, Keep him out of the plans this time.
Cedric can visit us after we’re finished.
That will be fun! Then we and all the mice will have all the comforts of home.
And I think they should like having their own place.
As long as it’s stocked with food.
I’m always happy with any place that’s stocked with food!
I feel better knowing there is a good stock of food in the house too.
That’s for sure. And it’s good in emergencies, too. Like if you have a sudden need for fudge or something.
Sorry, it was Tink(?) that didn’t want you to feed him.
Yeah, Twink wanted me to trap them. We have one of those live traps. But I didn’t want to put him outside in the cold!
That’s very humanitarian of you, Winky.
🙂
I don’t like Mice Missus Barb, as an up & coming comic will show when Drawing Bloke gets it finished.
You don’t like mice? Because they steal your cheese?
Truth be told, I don’t much like them either.
They’re really kind of cute when you get to know them.
They are cute. It kinda looks like my little dog.

Those little mice can be pretty cute.
That Winky likes to share his peanut butter and I think he has a soft spot for that mouse. I watched the video it’s not bad.
Some people think I’m just a big soft spot! I guess I kind of am.
Clearly Winky has got some Mighty MOUSE DNA in his heritage … or uh maybe Peter Pan???? W.C.C.
I think I like the Might Mouse thing better! I sort of am a superhero myself! But not really. Don’t tell anyone!
Why am I way down here? Sorry Wombies, my excuse is I have been frolicking in the surf with sea lions 🙂 I wouldn’t kill the mice either. I prefer to send them over to Tony in Tasmania 😉
Phew, at least I wasn’t as tardy as Duncan!!!!
I think Duncan got distracted by my peanut butter.
So that’s where they come from….
And some more may be coming, Tony!
I didn’t know Tony liked mice so much. Maybe I’ll tell ours that he’d like more.
Send them all to Tassie. It could be renamed Mouse Isle
Okay! I’ll build them a little boat. Well, maybe a big boat!
Trapping mice hmm? That seems a little hypocritical. 😉
But I wasn’t trapping them, I was feeding them!
It’s hard to trap cute things but when they start to invade your food then it gets easier.
If they got into my chocolate, I’d be yelling at them!
Ahem…Huh? Oh nothing, I was just clearing my throat.
And maybe chasing them away, too!
No, really, I was clearing my throat…I had too much pepper.
Oh. Maybe you should have a glass of water.
I did, I feel much better now. But think I’d feel even better if we could have some Toll house cookies.
That’d make me feel better, too. And I’m already feeling pretty good!
I made some Toll house cookies for both of you. But there is enough for everyone.
You must have made a ton of them!
I did! Did you save me a few?
It was hard, but I did!
Thank you, Winky!
Anything for you, Tink!
I have a mouse story coming up soon too.
I wonder if I know any of them?
The little guy just wanted a snack!
Yeah, he was really hungry!
Mix the Peanut Butter with Nutella and I guarantee he’ll never leave. 😉
Me or the mouse?
I like a bit of Nutella too, and mixed with some bits of cheese could be a treat 🙂
I think I’d rather have mine mixed with more chocolate. Or fudge.
I can go with that idea Winky. thanks 🙂
I bet you’d like our Wombie pancakes, too. They’re extra big, and come in chocolate with chocolate chips, and you can have chocolate and maple syrup, with fudge and peanut butter on them too, if you like!
I like the way that you keep inviting me to eat your pancakes and I do enjoy a good feast so thank you I will take two chocolate chip ones for now and a fudge with peanut butter for supper time.
Sure! We do like to eat around here. No one goes hungry with Twink’s cooking and her automatic pancake maker, and my chocolate factory. We can supply you with all the treats and sweets you could ever want! I’m hungry just talking about it!
I think a factory tour would be nice, then I can check out all of your sweets 🙂 Now I am hungry thinking about it.
And all my chocolate is free, so you can have as much as you want!
Mice are like politicians. What they steal and eat ain’t so bad, it’s what they mess up while doin’ it that is so much trouble.
Maybe if I made a little mouse motel out back, the mice would go there instead of coming in the house.
I like rats more than mice….but I wouldn’t kill them. I don’t think I could hurt an animal, let alone kill one.
Pet rats are cute. I’m not sure about wild ones. I think I’d run away.
There is a rat living in my neighbours dumpster but he’s not a dirty one 🙂
Clean rats are a lot better than dirty ones! I hope he’s friendly.
My neighbour has named the rat Running With a Fig Leaf but she is half Red Indian and likes Tarzan films so that could be the reason? Don’t know if he is clean or not.
Maybe the rat needs a bathroom so he can clean himself up before dinner.
rats are never clean winky never befriend a rat they sneak your choccy and run
They need to be taught how to wash up, then.
I think Andro should have played Alfred Hitchcock. He has the accent down.
Andro would make a great Alfred Hitchcock! Maybe be he should do the intros to my videos.
Now I now why Winky is so special! He is so kind and generous 🙂
It kind of gets me into trouble a lot, though.
Winky has made a good friend there but what happens when all the rest of them move in?
Yeah, that is a bit of a problem. I think I should make a mouse hotel in the back yard so most of them can stay there.
aaawww… he is cute!
Some animals are disgusting for others but cute for another.
Just about every kind of animal is cute to someone!
Hear hear!!
Did you know some people think that Turtles are disgusting? But you and I know that I think they are soooo adorable
Anyone who thinks turtle are bad must not have met yours! The only animals I don’t like are the ones who want to eat me.
Build a buddy mousetrap.
I wonder if he’d still be my buddy after I trapped him?
They’re cute but only in cartoons or animated movies. Like Ratatouille… such a great movie 🙂 I’m sure you’d get along with the characters. They love food.
That was a good movie! I definitely could live in a restaurant with them!
Have to live at the pizza shop.
I’m okay with that!
Yeah, they are cute, but sometimes too noisy 😉
The mice should learn how to behave properly in your house!
