If money can’t buy happiness, at least it can buy some contentment. As long as you’re not looking for depth.
Debbie Adams got Fraz to sit long enough for a another portrait. There must have been a bribe of wine gums involved. The original pastel painting of Fraz’s Portrait can be seen over at her art blog.

Nobody has to live shallow life… but childhood allows for some little pleasures 😉
Awww! I’m 1st, I’m 1st! 😀
You get the wine gum prize!
maybe some chocolate too? 😉
Absolutely! Chocolate and wine gums!
I like lots of little pleasures! Even if they are shallow.
I have to confess, that me too 😉
We should go gadget shopping!
Cool Fraz, what did you get?
A 16GB MP3 player with a camera!
Oh wow, did you get the one with a pop tart toaster attachment?
No, but it has a chocolate case that I can eat!
Chocolate pop tarts are the shiz…according to my youngest son.
Red.
I like triple chocolate pancakes.
So does he!
We should have some pancakes together!
I am certain he and Little V would love that.
We could have a Wombie pancake party! With party hats and prizes and all the good stuff!
I will second that idea Fraz 🙂 Bring on the pancakes 🙂
And the fudge, too!
I’ll bring spare cases….if I don’t eat them first.
Yeah, chocolate cases might not have been the best idea! But they’re tasty!
Loon bring lots of chocolate and a case of Champagne too 🙂 With golds being won we need to celebrate a bit 🙂
And champagne soda for me!
Champagne soda? Oh yeah.
Blahaha Androgoth, Oz has the saddest gold medal haul in history.
Just wait until the Wombie team competes!
ha ha ha Agree with Fraz however difficult it may be but someone has to do it Fraz I am with you…lets live the shallow life and help others
Deb’s Wombania posts are so fabulous..they are fun space,full of life..love them
A shallow life with the latest gadgets is for me!
and chocolates make every thing deep and meaningful…so we can indulge in as many gadgets as we want and then have chocolates
How come Chris doesn’t think like you do??
Do you want to adopt me?
Omg Fraz in a second…adopting you will be such an honour..you are the cutest and most fun loving..
big hug 🙂
I need a plane ticket!
Quick!
Before Chris finds out!
Here you go, Fraz.

Thanks, Aunt Deb!
Do you think I’ll need a passport?
I don’t have one!
How could I forget, Fraz…here ya go.
http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx12/mrsmra/MISC/canadian_passport.jpg
That’s great! Thanks!
Now if I can only sneak out of here without anyone noticing. . .
Here, wear these.
http://i737.photobucket.com/albums/xx12/mrsmra/MISC/disguise.jpg
Those should work!!
You’re the best!
Travel safely and make sure you bring your cell phone with my number in it. 555-Aunt-Deb.
Okay, I will! I’m going to sneak out right now. . .
Where’s Fraz, he was here a last night?
I’m still here. I got busted. And grounded. No trip to India for me! At least not for a while.
Well I guess Chris is just trying to take good care of you so you don’t get left behind in an airport like last time.
Yeah, that was a little scary.
But fun, too!
As long as your safe now is all that matters.
Drink up! Your milkshake I mean.
I’ve had almost as many milkshakes as pancakes today!
Then maybe it’s time to move on to donuts and cookies.
Chocolate donuts, I hope! With chocolate cream filling!
Of course Fraz, what donut could be enjoyed by a Wombie if not chocolate and chocolate cream filled. I 2 dozen to share with you so enjoy, also, I have brought you some extra soft and chewy triple chocolate cookies to have a with a chocolate milkshake.
That sounds good! And I brought some wine gums for desert!
Air India 😯
Well I didn’t get to go anyway.
Maybe next time!
oh nooo Fraz do not worry have chocolates we will find out a way to get you out soon 🙂
Yay! I’m plotting my new escape now!
First you have to get permission from Chris, or a better disguise. But permission would be best.
But having permission isn’t nearly as much fun as sneaking away! Especially with the disguise you gave me!
Yes, but we don’t want you to get in any trouble so you stay right here where everyone can come see you.
But I want an adventure to India! I know Soma would take good care of me!
A wombat in India, sounds like the title of a great film. Can you bring me back an enormous supply of Gulab Jamun thanks Fraz?
Sure! Even though I don’t know what it is. Soma should know!
Thanks Soma! ♥
It’s all in the eye of the beholder. And Fraz is holding it.
And I like to behold all the latest gadgets!
I LOVE this! Lots of people are like that … I’m not reallya gadget person.
I’m a gadget Wombie!
and the cutest one too
That’s what people tell me!
Surely you believe it too!
I guess people wouldn’t lie.
I think your the cutest, and Soma and I are not would lie to you about that….Just believe it and have a pancake and milkshake. 😉
I believe you! Even more with pancakes and a milkshake!
I knew there had to be a way to convince you. 🙂
A full tummy is a pretty good way!
Well I’m about to scoop myself out a bowl of chocolate ice cream to have while I watch my wrestling. Here is a great big bowl for you too with a wine gum on top.
That sounds pretty good to me!
Chocolate makes everything more believable.
Red.
It does!! And it makes everything tastier, too!
and fatter.
Not Wombies!
I know…you’re so lucky.
Very Cute !!!!!!
Fraz !!!!!
Deb- Lovely Art
Happy Monday You Guys ……
Missed You a ton- Like a ton of chocolate xx
A simple life with lots of chocolate and winegums !!!!=YAY 🙂
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
Cat
Welcome back, Cat!
And happy Monday to you, too!
Hope you had a good and relaxing vacation.
Thanks Cat!…and welcome back! xo
XOXOXOX DEB !!!
Right back at ya, sugah! xoxo
Welcome back <3 Missed you!!
Red.
xxx
I did thanks PDM 🙂 ……You guys and wombies are super cute …..missed ya!
chocolate and love make the world go round xo
have a great day xx
Thanks, Cat.
We missed you, too.
And chocolate makes us all round!
Too much can do that to us humans…Wombies are lucky.
Yeah, Wombies have to eat chocolate to survive. Lucky things!
It’s a shame they can send man to the moon, but not make a decent chocolate bar that tastes like the real things that not loaded with fat and sugar…and the same price as the regular too.
I’m working on that in my factory!
I wish you all the luck in the world. Maybe you should build a website for for you factory and put on a donation link for the cause of it.
I’d probably get a lot of donations, too! Everyone asks for non-fattening chocolate!
There is a high demand for it.
Now if I can only make some no-fat chocolate that tastes good, I could be rich!
If you could make no fat anything taste good, you would be rich.
If I get the no-fat chocolate going, I’ll work on some other stuff.
If you make it, then sell it, please don’t make it cost more the the original like the other guys do with their non fat stuff that tastes icky.
I hope I can make it taste good enough to sell. I’ll sell it for the same price, too.
That’s fair. 😉 Here Winky, have a pancake.
Thanks! Inventing a new kind of chocolate takes a lot of work!
You’re working on it too, Fraz? You must be in the quality control department.
No, Fraz was just trying to impersonate me!
Aw, Fraz wants to be you….so cute.
I think he just wanted my pancakes!
Or get round…
The more you eat, the rounder you get.
or pear shaped.
That too, unfortunately.
lol !!!!!
Not if u eat it 4 breakfast !!!!!!!!
And not if you’re a Wombie!
I don’t think I was a child when I should have been, so may I please be one now and be a bit shallow?!
Sure! We can be gadget buddies!
Everyone needs at least one second childhood.
Or a childhood that never ends!
We scoff at humans who do that…That is why we invented the second childhood 🙂
I’m glad I’m a Wombie!
No-one can do it better than you, Fraz! 🙂
It’s hard, but I try my best!
See…just another way you are not out-Frazzed.
Yeah, it would be bad if I was out-Frazzed!
Happiness comes in many formats…it’s always good to have the latest!
That’s what I always say!
Yeah, Fraz, all the cool stuff comes in big packages, like what you got, TV’s, computers, laptops, cars, boats, trucks and more.
And the cooler the stuff, the more I want it! Luckily I have Genie to get me the stuff Chris won’t.
I think you have the only Genie ever that grants more that 3 wishes…even if one of your wishes was then you’d you could always get your wishes granted.
My Genie has unlimited wishes built in!
Does your Genie have a brother?
I think she’s one of a kind.
You can borrow her if you want!
Thank you, Fraz, I’ll let you know if I should need her.
Thank you for posting my painting. Hugs
You’re welcome, Deb. Fraz never looked better!
I’ve got another I’m working on that I think looks even better yet. But it won’t get posted for a while. I think you got plenty to keep you busy for now.
I think I’ve got fan art scheduled until the middle of September!
😆
You are so good at it!!
Thank you. Here’s a cuppa for you just the way you like it!
Mmmm. Caramel mocha. My fave <3
You got it! 😉
If you can get the latest gadget without waiting in a long line, that is a double win for you Fraz!
Yeah, it just takes a little nagging Chris to get it. At least sometimes I get it. And other times, I just get it!
Fraz’s logic always seems to speak to me? – What does that mean? Toon rendered in an interesting up-angle perspective – Fun! W.C.C.
The low perspective was done to show it from Fraz’s POV. It also helped fit Chris into the frame.
Fraz has me convinced. I even upgraded my 5 year old flip phone to a new touchscreen smartphone recently only because I was prompted/inspired/motivated by one of Fraz’s earlier Material Needs comics
I inspired someone! Yay!!
Can I have your old phone?
It is very outdated Fraz. You can’t even get apps on it. But you can make phone calls. With all the things my new one can do I’m not actually sure if it can do calls…
I gotta get one of those new ones! Maybe Genie will get me one.
Does anyone use a phone to call anymore?
The only thing our cell phone does is make call and text, oh, and a photo.
It can’t make pancakes??
No, I ought to throw it in the trash can now!
Yeah, a cell phone that can’t make pancakes isn’t worth much!
But cost much!
The latest gadgets are wonderful, but it is almost impossible to keep up to ever-changing technology! I’d prefer to spend my money on candy and chocolate. 🙂
I want new gadgets AND chocolate! I don’t think I could live without both!
Breath, Fraz, breath. You won’t have too. Just tell Genie whenever you want something!
Sometimes I don’t know what I’d without all the stuff you guys keep giving me!
Aw, don’t worry, as long as were around you have what you need. Now just have a big milkshake and enjoy your gadgets. 🙂
Okay! I will!
Good morning, Here is a stack of pancakes for you, Fraz! And what would you like to wash it down with….oh yes, a milkshake for you too.
Of course! And now for dessert, I can have some wine gums and donuts!
Don’t forget the marshmallows!
I won’t! That’s the dessert’s dessert!
Love the POV in the first two frames. Puts the height difference into great perspective.
Red.
It was mostly done to give it Fraz’s perspective looking up. Way up.
Without the shallow people we’d have less versions of the iPhone. (I own an iPhone)
Shallow people rule!
Don’t worry Fraz. A lot of people are living shallow lives. They just keep the water muddy so that it looks deep.
What??
That sounds like something Binky would say to confuse me.
No, it was clear as mud. Made perfect sense to me. 🙂
But mud’s not. . . Oh, I’m just going to have some chocolate.
That is probably best. 🙂
Chocolate usually is!
Stay shallow, my friend!
I’ll do my best!
I love the shallow life but it does help to help others live the shallow life also… which means we give gifts to those shallow people…
If that means you want to give me a gift, I’ll take it!
mm that’s a deep thought, Fraz despite the logic is so shallow XD
Maybe it’s deep to be really shallow.
Another one of your great Wombie paintings Deb, well done 🙂
What’s life without material goods? A bad one.
I’m with you Fraz.
Yeah, no kidding! Try to tell that to Chris, though!
Happiness may not come from possessions, but the latest gadgets sure don’t dampen my spirit.
http://joycelansky.blogspot.com/2012/07/wordless-wednesday-sign.html
New toys always make me happy!
I love the latest gadgets.
So do I! Gadgets are good!
Gadgets and lots of chocolate are always the best 🙂
It’s hard to beat both together!
Ohhh I’ve missed you my friends!
I’m laughing right now thanks to Fraz.
Buying new stuff (like a new ukelele I didn’t need) makes me happy. I hate myself for writing that but Fraz will agree.
By the way this portrait by Deb is awesome!!!
We’ve missed you, too, Cha!
Yes, that’s a great portrait of Fraz! And I’m sure he’d agree.
Aunt Deb always makes awesome portraits of the wombies 🙂
Yes, and paintings of them doing all sorts of exciting things, too!
Things quite that little voice in our head.
I guess my little voice should be pretty quiet, then!
He should realize that being petty and shallow takes years of practice to get perfect. It’s not an overnight thing.
How did Fraz master it so quickly? I think it is innate.
Maybe I’m just good at it.
Just another of your natural talents 😉
Yeah, I’m multi-talented!
That’s one thing I’m willing to work on!
If I had the money to live in a castle on an island, it’d be hard not to be happy. I’m with Fraz. Money can totally buy happiness!
Yeah, I just need more of it!
Where did you get your money to buy those gadgets Fraz?
I want to have a shallow life too….there are so many gadgets I want to buy 😉
I whined enough so that Chris bought it for me!
The honesty here is awesome! 🙂 🙂
Honesty gets you better stuff. Usually.
I think we all are a bit shallow sometimes.
And some of us are shallow all the time!
