Need Want Wash
If you wash what you have, you may not need what you want.
(This comic strip was previously published on February 8, 2010.)
Our American friend Debbie Adams painted a picture of Captain Fraz and his new pirates’ gold find. You can read the tale of their discovery on her Captain Fraz and His Two New Pirates Find Gold! post.
One thing’s for sure, he doesn’t NEED the aggravation!
I don’t! I wonder if I could sell Chris on ebay?
Fraz you can try sell Chris on ebay but after this who wil bid for him !!!
I don’t know! But I’d take anything for him!
I doubt that you could
give him away after this 🙁
Maybe if I pay someone to take him?
Good idea I will hand some leaflets out to the Zombies and see what they can come up with 🙁
I dunno if Chris would like to live with zombies!
🙂 Fraz loves Fashion. That’s all. I’m sure he really needs it! And Deb’s painting is awesome!! I remember when she shared it on her blog. I’m such a big fan!!
I’m always in style!
The Pirate Clan Wombies is a great painting!
Thank you, Peter! And thank you for posting it too! I had a lot of fun dressing them up like that!
And I’m sure they had a lot of fun playing pirates!
Yes they did, and they actually enjoyed getting fitted for their pirate outfits. 😉
That was fun, but the funner part was the pirating!
I have no doubts about that, Fraz, The fun part of the other was for me.
I guess we both had fun then!
Yes we did, and it’s all fun for me to know you have a good time!
You’re always giving me fun stuff!
That’s because it’s fun to give!
I guess I don’t give as much as I should.
Yes you do, Fraz! You give me chocolates and sandwiches, milkshakes, and lots of other tasty treats. You take me for rides in your wagon, you let me watch tv at your beach house whenever I want…and you have popcorn ready when I get there. You do more things for me and others than I can even think of at the moment!…You just have such a big giving heart that it just comes natural and you don’t notice all you do! 🙂
I guess. It’s fun to share my chocolate and treats and things. But you’ve given me my island and beach house and pirate ship and pizza place and milkshake place and even the whole world once!
But you give me everything. It works like this. It’s not how much one gives, but when we can give all we can, then we have given everything. It’s even in the bible….A person gave lots of money, but this woman could only give a tiny bit, but it was all she had. God found favor with her instead of the other person because she gave all she had, but the other could have given more.
So you see, you give me everything, and I adore you for it, Frazzie! 🙂
I still kinda think you’ve given me a lot more than I’ve given you. But I guess we’re both happy. And that’s good! It’s nice to make someone else happy. You make me really happy all the time!
This calls for a pancake Pirate beach party as it is getting a lot warmer now 🙂 I think it is also safe enough to let Chris out of one of the Zombie traps, I wonder how he ended up in there? 🙂 lol
Yeah, we need a pirate pancake and pizza beach party! I don’t know about Chris. But he does kinda act like a zombie sometimes.
That explains his imprisonment then 🙂
I guess it does!
Thank you, Cha! 🙂
Sounds like responsible parenting to me!
It’s hard with Wombies.
Sadly I saw that there are now bullet proof backpacks. On a happyer note, gummi bears are yummi.
happier? how ever it is spellt.
And on a happy happier note, wine gums are yummier!
I can eat more gummi bears than I can wine gums. Maybe wine gums are more like a fine wine…
We Wombies certainly have a taste for them! I think I need some right now.
Aw Fraz, why don’t you wait for the new school year for a new backpack so it’s all clean and shiny on your first day back….How about a new wagon for now?
A new wagon? OK!!
Here ya go, Sweetie!

Yay! Thanks aunt Deb!
Your welcome, Fraz!
Wanna go for a ride in the wagon?
Of course, Fraz! Oh wait…let me get us some chocolate and wine gums to bring for us. 🙂
We can go for a ride and a picnic!
Let’s stop by your Milkshake shake to have milkshakes. Later I’ll pull you over to your Pizzeria so we can pick up a some pizza’s for dinner!
OK! That’s sounds like a really good trip!
I wonder if we will have room for some wine gums and chocolate topped marshmallows after those? 🙂
Of course we will! You can never get enough of those!
Yes what was I thinking of, silly me 🙁 lol
Sometimes you think a bit like a human!
lol, wants are very important!
They are! And I want lots of stuff!
The things that can accumulate inside a child’s backpack are… unsettling…
What’s wrong with frogs and worms and wine gums and chocolate and rocks and mud?
Don’t forget about all the jelly brains and chocolate Zombie fingers Fraz 🙂 lol
Yeah, and those too! Mostly they’re in your backpack though.
Yes but I don’t mind you nipping in there and taking those snacks when you are extra hungry 🙂
I’d have to be extra extra extra hungry to take them!
I really liked what you did with the thought balloon. 😀
Thanks, Bill!
What is this need want issue?
Fraz wants something Fraz gets it.
Oh my poor baby to wash and use a bag…death of fashion
I know! I should just get what I want! Chris is all crazy sometimes!
I would have let you get a new one, and would have filedl it with goodies too 🙂
Maybe we should both ask Chris for a new backpack at the same time. That might work better.
Yes twinnies need matching backpacks and that means the contents of them too 🙂
Yep! And we should ask Chris right when he gets up in the morning before he starts thinking!
This is so very true. And Fraz is the one that thinks he’s nuts for washing it too. He’ll learn. Perhaps.
That needing versus wanting thing has been around since the beginning of time.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
I’m sure it has been, but it seems to be worse with all the gadgets that are around these days.
Hahaha… poor Fraz… finding yourself on the scrubbing end of an argument almost always seems to be a four letter word. At least.
🙂
They torture me here!
Good try Frazzie. Next time, you might have to make a little tear in it if you want a new one. 😉
That’s a good idea. Maybe I could put it through the shredder!
I’m not sure you could get away with that…but you’d certainly have to get a new one to replace it!
It wouldn’t fit in the shredder. Maybe I could just chew on it.
Try throwing it in with the Werewolves
next time and that should do the trick 🙂
Yeah, no backpack would survive the werewolves!
awww ,I say nuts too, Fraz… but at least it’ll be clean when you’re finished. (and no shredding, I’m sure Peter would be ever so mad..!!) 😉 ) xPenx
Yeah the shredder didn’t work. My backpack is kinda clean now so maybe I don’t need a new one. But I still want one!
I will squeeze the life out of everything I own before trashing it
Usually when I get rid of something, it’s not even good enough to give it away.
Same here, I keep things way beyond their natural life span 🙂 But it’s all good I think so who cares? 🙂 lol
I think it’s good to use what you have, but many others treat everything as disposable.
You are right about that Peter 🙁
I hope that you are enjoying your
weekend my great friend 🙂
It’s finally spring here with temperatures up to 20. I hope you’re enjoying some spring-like weather, too.
Yes it is a wonderful sunny day today Peter 🙂 I think anything is better than the freezing cold ice and snow 🙂 Have a fun afternoon Peter 🙂
Snow and ice has been officially banned until next winter.
I agree, bring on the sunshine 🙂
We’ve had some nice sunny weather the last few days, though rain is on it’s way.
Fraz, don’t feel alone, my hubby who is an adult has the same problem… want, want, and more want it now!
I think I’d like him! He sounds cool!
Soooo that’s two new backpacks, one for you and one for me and as many chocolates and pancakes that we can eat in one sitting 🙂 Faythe’s hubby is sooo kind to us 🙂 Yaaaay
Is he gonna buy us new backpacks for school? Yay!!
I hope so 🙂 I was thinking the backpacks could be lfilled with goodies too 🙂
I hope they’re filled with good goodies and not school goodies like pencils and pens!
no these are all edible goodies Fraz and you name is etched into each one, I hope that we are sharing though? 🙂
Of course! We always share everything!
great, I knew that you would say that and just you wait until you see what I have brought us for a noon time snack 🙂 Chocolate candy with marshmallow and sprout filling 🙂 Yaaay
What?? No way!
I’m with Fraz. Why wash when someone else will buy you a new one? Wait a minute, he didn’t do his stooge job!

And I didn’t get a new backpack!
I actually do this routine with lunch sacks. The insulated ones clean up fine but the brown paper ones not so much! W.C.C.
For some reason, paper doesn’t wash very well.
Now all his books will get wet 🙁
If I’m lucky they will!
I hope that your book on fangtastic trainee Vampy recipes doesn’t get too wet 🙁
No, I keep that one safe! I meant my school books.
Oh well that’s okay then, I think? 🙂
I think so too!
I like your comic strip for being cute and entertaining. I sincerely appreciate the honesty and frankness of Fraz. I think he just want something new to motivate him in going to school. But then, needs are different from wants. Needs should be prioritized before our petty wants. I would want Fraz to be my pet.
Thanks, Naomi. I think Fraz might object to being someone’s pet, though.
This is a wonderful painting Deb 🙂 🙂 xxx
Fraz I think that Chris is a big meanie making you wash that old and stinking smelly backpack instead of buying you a new one 🙁
I think so too! Chris never wants to buy anything!
He spends a lot of his money
on that skunk spray cologne 🙁
I don’t sthink he’ll do that again! Haha! I said sthink!
I sthink not too 🙂
Me three!
Fraz you should try that old trick. Hide the old one and say someone stole it.
I never thought of that!
Wow, you get an impressive number of comments!
Thanks, Nef. I used to get a lot more last summer, but I can’t complain. A lot of bloggers and cartoonists seem to just disappear.
Fraz, I think Chris should buy you a new backpack! Everyone gets a new one every so often, so you should too!
Yeah, I need a new one too! Maybe I’d even want to go to school then! Maybe.
You never know…it might inspire you!!
It might! At least I can tell Chris that!
I didn’t know Wombie can act like human 😉
I thought we human are the one who always want what we don’t need
I want everything! Even though Chris says I don’t need it.
What if Chris told you to work to have money to buy things you want 😉
I’d just ignore him like I usually do.
I lift weights because I want a new body. So you’re saying I should just wash my old one???
That’s what Chris says. I don’t believe him either!
Nuts! 😉
That’s what I say!
Ah! He took all the fun out of going to school! New backpacks and books and stationery are *the* best parts!! LOL!
They’re the only good thing about going to school!
