Stupid Hurts
Stupid hurts as stupid does. We’re pretty lucky our brains can’t feel the pain of our stupidity.
This comic strip was previously published on May 10, 2010.)
Our good friend Soma Mukherjee sent Chris this special award for his efforts in defending the universe from ravonous ants and other insects. You can witness Chris’s actions in the Attack of The Ants.) comic strip. Chris rarely receives any accolades, so this was a nice honor for him. For some fun, poems, stories, and comics, don’t forget to visit Soma’s blog.
Oh dear, if we could feel stupid pain I’d have chronic continual aches 🙁
with a wine gum on top!
If you’re not going to eat that, I’ll take it!
Me too!
Maybe we should eat more chocolate!
Sounds good to me!
I’ll bring over a basket of my best chocolates for lunch!
Thank you, Winky! I was late for lunch, but I’ll have it for dinner! 🙂
There should be enough chocolate for you for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! As long as your little ones don’t get into it.
I put is away as my private stock! 🙂
That’s smart!
You have to be smart to out-smart a Wombie when it comes to food! 🙂
Yeah, we’re pretty food smart. Even me!
And me, save some for me 🙂
What, the wine gums? They’re kind of gone. Sorry.
Well thanks Winky, I guess that I will just have to eat all these chocolates that I brought over for us to share 🙂
No! I promise to get you a big bucket of wine gums next time. You weren’t around earlier and I didn’t want them to go to waste.
It’s okay Winky I was just kidding, here have these chocolates that I saved you, the ones with the cherries on top are lovely 🙂
They are very good, aren’t they? You can be the first to try my new maple fudge chocolates in the shape of maple leaves!
Wow I can’t wait 🙂 Mmmmm
I should have them perfected by tomorrow. Or at least by Sunday. It takes a lot of taste-testing them to get them just right!
I wouldn’t be able to get out of bed! Which might not be so bad.
I get massive stupid cramps
I take chocolate for that. It always makes me feel better.
Let’s get the chocolates out we need to cure Soma of those cramps, now do we start with the milk or the dark chocolate muffins? 🙂 Wow I will eat both at the same time I think 🙂
So do I! You have two hands, you might as well use them!
True, here’s two muffins
for you to be getting on with 🙂
Thanks! That’s the way I like to eat!
Yes I noticed 🙂
I guess it might be a bit obvious.
For you yes, extremely obvious 🙂
I guess you know me pretty well!
Yes. Well, it sure looks painful from where I sit… or set… stupid grammar 😐
I like to sit at the buffet table.
Where do you like to set?
In front of the TV with a big bag of wine gums.
I’m taking your word for it. I hope your brain wasn’t tickling.
My brain’s always tickling.
Yes ticking off anyone that
touches your wine gums 🙂
I do like my wine gums! But if someone asks, they can have some.
Just got finished eating some gummy bears. I know, I know, we’ve had the wine gum/gummy bear discussion before.
Maybe there is room enough for both views.
I guess if you like gummy bears better, that leaves more wine gums for us! So I’m okay with that.
Me too 🙂
I kind of feel sorry for Dave, though. Missing out on all those great wine gums.
Don’t feel sorry for me, cause I have some gummy bears… had some gummy bears. I ate them all.
You’re like a gummy bear maniac!
Dave you could have saved Winky and I some of your gummy bears, we like wine gums the best but we are always willing to try out some new sweets 🙂
Oh no… is that what it means when my nose itches? Because I’ve got that, too!
🙂
It might be. I’m not sure! Take a couple of chocolates and see if it goes away.
Chomping pancakes helps that too 🙂
Especially triple chocolate pancakes with chocolate syrup!
Yes and don’t forget the maple syrup ones, we can eat those later on 🙂
We could put those on top of the chocolate ones!
What a great idea, double decker pancakes with chocolate and maple syrup, I like the sound of those Winky 🙂 Very yummilicious…
I’m pretty good with food ideas!
The best 🙂
🙂 🙂
Auch! That was very harsh
Binky is like that! Well to me, anyway!
He is a scientist so is quick to make decisions, sometimes they come across as being harsh but he means well 🙂
Sometimes he doesn’t seem to mean well to me!
I suppose it looks that way but hey you have the best seat in the rocket ship so he must think highly of you Winky 🙂
I get the back seat! Binky won’t let me touch any of the controls!
Yes but sitting at the back means that you have control over all the chocolate that we collect as dark matter, and being the chief taster you will undoubtedly have the biggest helpings of chocolate in the whole universe 🙂
Well I guess that is pretty important. And tasty, too!
Smart people sometimes (most of the times) need to control their tongue 😉
I think Binky needs to listen to you!
Maybe you can make him less smart 😉
I don’t know how to do that!
I’ll admit I’ve done some pretty stupid things. I think we all have, but I choose the tickle not the hurt. Sounds way better.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
The tickle is way better, that’s for sure!
Yeah, I’d rather laugh than cry! 😀
Me too!
And me 🙂
heheheheheh stop it, it tickles. Sorry I was thinking
I try not to think too much.
We can think about chocolate all the time, maybe even think about eating marshmallows, wine gums, pancakes and spam too 🙂 There’s nothing stupid about that…
No, but I’d rather eat chocolate than think about it. It’s easier on my brain and nicer on my tummy!
I second that 🙂 But on my tummy I mean 🙂
I’m sure there’s enough for both of us!
That is exactly what I was thinking 🙂
🙂
Uh oh… I was wondering what that tickling sensation was!
I’m glad I could help!
This makes me wonder why can’t we tickle ourselves… or is that just stupid?!?!?
🙂
Hmmm. I don’t know. And I’m not smart enough to figure it out!
It will come to you in time, and while we wait let’s have some pancakes with triple choc coating and strawberries on top 🙂
That’s sounds like a good plan! And maybe with some of Deb’s milkshakes, too!
Yes I will ask her to make those extra large chocolate ones that we like 🙂
Can I have some too? I love aunt Deb’s milkshakes!
Fraz I already have you penned in for the largest sundae glass, so how about that for forward thinking? 🙂
I didn’t think you’d forget me!
Never…
I didn’t think so! Twins don’t forget their twin!
I don’t know if it hurts to be stupid.
My god, is that because I’m not smart enough to know???
It might be. I’m probably the wrong person to ask!
You’re a genius, Bill. Stupidity doesn’t apply to you! Clive, on the other hand…
Maybe he could give a little bit of that genius to me. I could use some!
I was wondering that one myself, since I wouldn’t know.

I know. I’m an expert!
I think Cedric could answer this question too.
Maybe…
He could need a few days to think about it though…
Maybe Cedric and I could figure it out together.
That could take months 🙁
Maybe. But we get to eat lots of chocolate and cheese while we were thinking!
I never thought of that, it is certainly a cunning plan and one that I can see all of us joining in with 🙂
Actually we do a lot more eating than thinking. But that’s okay with me!
Let’s not think about it, there is
cheese and chocolate to enjoy 🙂
Yeah, there’s no time for thinking, there’s eating to be done!
No wonder I laugh so often – All that tickling must mean I am REALLY stupid ! W.C.C.
It’s probably better to laugh. At least I think so!
Tickles the brain into pain.
Tickles me pink!
It’s like a refreshing massage!
I never thought of it like that!
Being Stupid requires a lot of training from the inner stupid 🙂
It is very calming the stupid effect.
I’m pretty sure I have a lot of inner stupid! And I am pretty calm. Well, I’m calm when I’m not not calm. I think.
Don’t over think it Winky 🙁
I’ll try not to. It really tickles when I do.
You will be giggling all weekend at this rate 🙂
I need some more giggle food!
I will bring some with me next time I call in 🙂 Then you can eat all the giggles that you want 🙂
That sounds good. Thanks, Andro!
You’re welcome Winky 🙂
You’re very kind to spread the accolades. 🙂 Happy weekend to you!
Soma was very kind, yes. It was my first award!
I can see you getting a lot more awards over the coming months Chris so watch out for those 🙂 I like Soma’s gift, it’s brilliant 🙂
You think so? Maye Wombie Parent of The Year or something?
Well let’s not think too far ahead Chris but definitely something, perhaps a Golden Sprout Award for starters? 🙂
Well, okay. I’ll take what I can get.
You will enjoy it I am sure, and there is even a Carrot Award that could have your name etched on it 🙂 Fingers crossed…
I hope it’s at least a golden carrot award.
There is a rumour going round that you are up for a big award, not sure what it will be yet but it’s going to be awesome 🙂
Big is good, but I’ll take anything!
If that makes a lot of sense to me, should that be a cause for concern?
I don’t know. It wouldn’t bother me.
We could all have some more
chocolate while we think about it 🙂
Okay!
🙂 🙂
Awww…I love Winky!!!! and I love his answer too! I mean seriously..what an awesome way to look at what others may think of as stupidity!
We’re all at least a little stupid. Some of us more than a little!
I’m just half-stupid, the other half is just ignorant. 🙂
That sounds like the typical human condition.
Even half ignorant means half the bliss which is more than what most of us experience 😉 So that’s way awesome!!
Bliss is good! I just ignore everything bad!
That was a good answer Winky. Don’t let Binky get to you.
I don’t! Sometimes he thinks he knows everything, but he doesn’t know me!
Winky, you are just so darned cute. And tickling is a good thing!
Aw, shucks!
It’s good that tickling is good because I’m tickled a lot!
Winky might be stupid but he does a lot of hard thinking. At least two whole panels worth!
I try to think only when I have to!
Fortunately, I think it tickles shortly after it stops hurting. Stupid makes my brain bleed…
I’m glad that doesn’t happen to me! I’d be dead!
I have alergy on stupidity. 😉
So do I.
