Reality TV
Most of what we see on TV is about as far from reality as you can get.
To help celebrate Christmas, Androgoth (aka Geoff) drew Fraz dressed up as Santa Claus. Or more accurately, Fraz was dressed up as Fraz Claws. Andro’s original drawing was posted on his old My Gothic Realm blog which is no longer available. But you can visit Geoff’s new blog, Fantasticalvision.
What ya talking about Willis?
I’m Fraz, not Willis.
See!!!!! Sitcoms aren’t a true reflection of reality.
It’d be better if they were though!
I cannot imagine staying in that much gradu week after week.
I don’t know. What’s gradu?
Technically, belly button lint, but it generally trash or garbage.

Gradu means garbage? I learn a lot of gradu in school!
I got in trouble once for telling my mum to “sit on it” . Damn you Fronz!!!!
Sit on what exactly? 🙂
I guess something bad!
You should have voted her off the island.
You are awesome… 🙂
Oops..that comment was for loon. That Fonzie comment almost made me spit my coffee out.
Aw, but I want to be awesome too!
You are one of the MOST awesome wombies I know, Frazzie. I can’t believe you didn’t know that already. 😉
Really??
Want to share some of my chocolates?
I will share some Fraz 🙂
OK, you can have some too!
Definitely Frazzie…and thank you! *reaches to take a chocolate and kisses you on your cute little freckled cheeks*
😳
Hey!!!!!! Fraz, leave my awesome alone. Oh and thanks Wendy, you are awesomesome too 😉
We can be awesome together!
But I’m still awesomer!
The awesomesomest
That’s a good compliment coming from someone as awesome as you!
I think that Fraz put his foot in it 🙁
I tried to put my foot in a shoe once, but it didn’t fit.
Shoes are overrated…unless you are talking about stiletto boots. Mmm.
They sound like something Twink might like.
I am sure we can find her some with glitter and sparklies all over them.
They’ll have to be big though! Twink has big feet. All us Wombies do.
I know where to get the special kind. My feet are small. They make them in both kinds 😉
Twink will be happy!
Oh no. They are real. They are all, very real…
I think so to! But Chris says they’re not!
Jersey Shore is
Is that like the jerseymilk chocolate bar?
i think you will find fantastical vision hasnt paid his liscense and rode off on prancer the flying pig maybe telling porkies
I checked. Prancer is still in the basement.
so happy to hear prancer safe and well maybe hes munching a few love hearts and choc eggs which are selling in the shops now for valentines day fraz i like dark choccy eggs best
I like any chocolate I’m eating the best! I hope someone gets me some valentines chocolate!
im sure a sweet fraz will get lots of valentine choccy and maybe a party too with pancakes as its pancake tueson same day so double treats fraz can you toss a pancake mine end up on the floor but my ozzy eats them
I hope I get lots of chocolate!
Pancake Tuesday and valentines day all in the same week! It’s like a special week just for Wombies!
Hahaha… ah, yes…
the classic, ‘sitcoms imitating life’ vs. ‘life imitating sitcoms’ paradox…
🙂
When our lives start imitating sitcoms, we’re probably in trouble.
or in “he-double-l”?
🙂
Or maybe even worse than that.
No maybe to that.
That might explain why I never hear a laugh track when I say something particularly witty!
I don’t either! And no applause too!
Or theme music.
I should bring my own theme music. That would be awesome!
I always hear applause and laugh tracks and sometimes them music when I say something funny. Hope the batteries don’t run down on my MP3 player though.
My fans are putting together a terrific soundtrack for me. Now, I just need someone to write the screenplay.
I could do that! Would you mind being written as a Wombie?
Not at all. You need to contribute a song on the soundtrack, too. (Check the About Momma page.)
Some people say I can’t sing. But I think I sing pretty good!
I need to get one of those laugh tracks for me! I can be pretty funny!
That’s why I don’t watch regular television. Make me gag. I love Netflix though. All those old shows from way back when. Awesome.
Have a fantastic day. ☺
I like the old one-hour dramas like Magnum PI and Simon & Simon.
I like them older than that…Quincy and Columbo and Trapper John, MD.
Well The Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits and Alfred Hitchcock would probably be my favorites. I really liked Columbo & Quincy; never watched Trapper.
Adore The Outer Limits. Still watch Hitchcock. One of the only collections that did not make the transition from VHS to the disc du jour was TWZ. I really should get them all digitally so I can watch at my leisure.
It’s amazing how good some of those old shows were, and how well they hold up. They were written by real writers.
The way productions are done now, it gives everyone from the grip up a bad name.
I think they’re more interested in making quick money now rather than good shows.
You mean all conflicts aren’t resolved in a half hour?
That can’t be true!!
for some reason, Three’s Company comes to mind… now there’s a sitcom I’d NEVER want to be part of!?!?!? just sayin…
🙂
It was sort of the epitome of bad sitcoms.
It’s sort of like a train wreck yhat you can’t look away from!!
The sitcoms of sitcoms!
🙂 Love Andro’s drawing.
But I don’t understand, every time I want to visit his blog I get this message :”fantasticalvision.wordpress.com is no longer available.”…
xx
I can’t access Geoff’s site anymore, either.
Andro shut down his blog unfortunately.
TV REality isn’t a true reflection of it either.
Great drawing Geeeeeeeeeeoffff
No way! You’re saying reality tv isn’t real??
Funny you should say that because my newest post is about the same topic.
http://joycelansky.blogspot.com
I noticed that! For some it’s hard to separate TV from reality.
Yeah I know how you feel. All I watch are reruns of Father Knows Best and Leave it to Beaver so literally everyone around me looks so shocked when I shun profanity, speak politely and respectfully address them! W.C.C.
Welcome to the club of Old Fogeys!
Reality TV is real than the real reality..I am with Fraz, no body understands us..we are just too awesome 🙂
Andro rocks when it comes to unique Wombie cartoons..loved it
Yeah, people are just jealous of our great awesomeness!
I guess, that there aren’t sitcoms about Wombies, so they can’t be reflection of reality 😉
That’s right there aren’t! I should make a Wombie sitcom! Then I’d be even more awesome!!
He’d be better off being raised by wolves.
That sounds like fun! Know any wolves that would adopt me?
That must be the reason I don’t watch reality tv… unless those remodeling shows where people get all that free stuff & help to fix up there homes. its all free, right? I want that!!
I hope you are let out of room by now, Fraz. otherwise you better hightails it over to your island. you seem to have the bestest adventures there!
Yeah, I got let out. But I still can’t leave the house! Big snowstorm! Luckily we’ve got lots of pancakes and chocolate so we won’t starve.
Glad you got out. goof thing you are not here… it snowed about 36 hours straight. the very wet heavy kind… you would be buried and froze before it thaws out!
Hope you get lots of hot cocoa too!
Well I hope you weren’t buried! I’ll send Genie over with some special Wombie chocolate and pancakes!
not buried but close. and all icy under the white stuff. those pancakes will help warm me up! Yum!
Maybe when Genie’s over there, she can help melt some of that snow and ice too!
It’s because tv is generally bad lol!
That can’t be!!
I think a laugh track in real life would get old REALLY fast.
If they were laughing at you it wouldn’t be so fun.
I like this comic sketch and Fraz looks priceless stood on that stool 🙂
I think I need a taller stool though. Then maybe people would listen to me!
i think your listened too all the time fraz pity that some dont listen at all ut maybe they have gum drops or pancakes in their ears
Maybe they do! If more people listened to me, they’d have a lot more fun!
im havin fun fraz although havent been here that many times and im not a computer wizard lol its sometimes like a chocolate fire guard to me but im getting better at it now im off for my choccy bedtime drink anyone can make them twelve belgian choc drops melted into hot milk yummy
I’m lucky to have aunt Deb who makes me super extra chocolatey milkshakes all the time!
You are lucky having an auntie like that 🙂
She’s the best! She treats me real good.
It be nice if life really was like a tv show 🙂
It sure would be!
I’ve been watching plenty of The Middle. Are you sure that isn’t reality?
The middle? That doesn’t sound very exciting. Maybe it is real.
I love the perspective of how much taller Chris is…and his frown. Great strip, Peter.
Thanks, Red. I never really thought about the height difference until I started making the strips and found Chris didn’t fit very well with the others.
Fraz needs to visit myself, my daughter, Victor and Victoria! Life is just like a witty screwball slapstick sitcom!
Oh, Dexter counts right?
Also LOVE Andro’s Fraz Claws 🙂
I’ll be right over! Your reality sounds funner than mine!
But webcomics that are about wombats ARE a true reflection of reality! Right?
I know I’m real! I don’t know about anybody else.
The problem with sit-coms or Situation comedies is that there is too much situation and not enough comedy. Most of them are not funny they are just trashy.
An awful lot of the new ones are. I did like Fraser and Friends. They are about the newest sitcoms I watched.
Do they even make sit-coms anymore? I thought it was all reality and drama.
To tell you the truth I have no idea. Oh, there’s the Big Bang Theory or something like that that’s supposed to be pretty good. Never saw it myself.
Of course they are Fraz. Sitcoms provide us with real life examples to learn from as we forge our way through life.
That’s what I thought! If you can’t learn it from TV, it’s not worth learning!
Tv is so misleading sometimes. lol
Yeah, real life is a lot more bring than tv.
Oh Fraz!! you have A LOT to learn 😉
…although I admit it’s nice quoting movies/tvseries
Yeah, everyone likes to tell me I have a lot to learn. I think I’ve already learned enough!
I bet you will love the quote from Forrest Gump 🙂 “Life is like a box of Chocolate”
My life is like a BIG box of chocolates!
