Summer Trick or Treating
The best time to go trick or treating is when everyone least expects it. Or maybe not.
(This comic strip was previously published on August 5, 2010.)
Debbie Adams made Binky a great beach hacienda which includes a labratory and observatory and everything else Binky could possible want. You can see Debbie’s original painting of Binky’s Beach Hacienda at her art blog.
Bad luck Fraz. If it had worked, I was planning something similar 🙁
Yeah, the people around here are meanies!
It’s definitely cause for a Tricking!!! Might need some toilet paper and a quick exit strategy. Wombies go wild!!!!
I’d rather trick them into giving me chocolate! Maybe I could tell them I’m a chocolate inspector!
or the official Hershey’s recall officer?
And swipe the whole lot 🙂 Hey good thinking Loon 🙂
Yeah, I’ll have to try that!
I bet Loon could dig up some credentials for you in all her combing…
Red.
Like an official badge or something?
Right. So when you come to the door you can speak quickly like you are in a hurry, and it is all official, and didn’t they get your letter?
Red.
That sounds really official! I better take notes!
Here Fraz have some
chocolates to help you
think better 🙂
Thanks! Now I should be able to remember everything!
Binky needs to give you some of his high IQ wine gums.
I don’t think he lets anyone have those!
I think we could all use a few of those wine gums 🙂
I could use a ton of them!
I say he’s an innovator!
But still no candy!
I don’t get people why cant we play such a lovely game every day…why do people limit fun on all good things ..Hey Fraz treats for you..loads of chocolates for you..and hope you get chocolate clouds and stars too
Thanks, Soma! I should have visited you first!
Soma is very generous, I hope there is enough chocolate, pancakes and wine gums for everyone? 🙂
I hope so too!
OMG Andro my secret underground chocolate tunnel is open for all of you all the times…i have put in a face code and anyone who is a Wombie or a Wombie fan gets free entry anytime and as many times as they want…
Yay!! Chocolate tunnels are my favorite kind!
We will have to thank her with some of our exotic recipes, she will love the chocopine and marshmellowpalmfruit cake 🙂
I bet she will! We better make sure we don’t eat it all before Soma gets here, though.
Wow that is so wicked Soma, Fraz and me will be in there all the time, it’s a good job that it is a never-ending supply of chocolate in that tunnel 🙂 Wicked
I wanna come too…
Don’t worry Fraz and I will grab your hand just at the right moment 🙂
Yeah, Red, you’re one of the Wombie Famous Five!
Anytime Red love ya ..
Hey we all love you too Soma 🙂
Andro is right. We do love you, Soma <3
Aw, Fraz, I would have put a treat in your pumpkin for you, even an extra for you efforts and for being cute.
I think I must be knocking on the wrong doors!
That is the ticket. Try a different neighborhood.
Red.
Yeah, somewhere where people will feel sorry for me!
Maybe a trip past the tombs of wickedness will help fill that Halloween Pumpkin? 🙂 The Skeletons always like to see you Fraz 🙂
I think they like to see me for the wrong reasons, though!
You may try giving them candy bones. They would probably trade you for chocolate.
That might work. But it’s still kinda scarey to try!
They like those jelly snakes too 🙂
Maybe I could feed the skeletons with the jelly snakes on a long pole!
Yes a good idea but don’t get too near to those Werewolves 🙁
Now there are werewolves, too?!
Werewolves like those marshmallows on a stick. Especially the rabbit shaped ones.
Maybe we should make some extra ones of those to act as werewolf decoys!
Winky can make them at the factory, right?
Sorry for you?? Fraz, people should thank their stars that they got a Wombie visit..I mean how many are that lucky??
I wish more people would think like you do!
Soma, we need to have a Wombie appreciation day.
There’s Wombat Day on October 22!
I know about wombat day…but we really need a Wombie day. With chocolate decorations and trick-or-treating.
Thank you for posting my artwork of Binky’s Hacienda.
Fraz should knock on the door for a treat…he’d be sure to get some.
No problem, Deb. Binky is very proud of the new house you made for him!
I like that note on the Spamming bit… ‘I’m Not a Zombie Spammer’ 🙂 lol That is really funny that one Peter 🙂
I thought you might!
🙂 🙂 Brilliant…
No way…there is someone that would be gullible to that begging face.
I’d better try more houses then!
Try Twink’s door at her beach house, she always has lots of goodies.
Like pancakes!!
Yes and then nip past the Zombie traps and into my Realm, there are always plenty of wicked snacks for you in there 🙂
Okay, I’ll be there!
I guess I should wear my zombie-proof armour, though!
Yes that is an excellent idea Fraz 🙂
I remember what happened the last time I didn’t!
You know my door will always have treats on the other side 😉
Red.
I’ll be sure to come knocking!
Yes me too Red I always enjoy a treat 🙂
No sense knocking. No one does.
Red.
Great! We can just move in, then!
Since the remodeling is done, I am considering adding on a guest wing…or maybe I should just build a guest house.
A guest house would be awesome! You could call it the Wombie Palace!
The Wombie and Vamp guest house sounds really nice Red, thanks 🙂
So when will it be done?
soon I hope 🙂
I’m already packed!
Not much longer. Bear is working out the last of the plans now.
I hope it includes a trap door so we can make our own underground burrows!
There are going to be tunnels in the walls as well so you can go from room to room.
No sweets this summer. 🙁
Not so far. I haven’t had any chocolate in hours!
Well we can’t have that. I got a whole bag of chocolate and wine gums with your name on it…eat up little one.
Thanks, Aunt Deb! I almost starved to death!
I hope that you saved me some Fraz? 🙂
There’s always some treats for you, Andro!
Thank you Fraz I knew you would save me some : I have some chocolate fudge cake here for you so just help yourself to as much as you like 🙂
That chocolate fudge cake was extra good!
Can you make another one, please?
How about mousse instead?
Red.
Does it taste like chicken?
Although I love caramel mousse, I shall make chocolate mousse for you and mocha mousse for me.
Red.
Chocolate mousse should be tasty!
Sure, I can always make an extra chocolate fudge cake or twenty for you Fraz, all you need is a big appetite and a large spoon 🙂 I will also prepare some caramel mousse for you and a special treat for Red that will turn her mocha mousse into a delicious fantasy 🙂
I’ll be there for sure! Even if I have to fight off those skeletons and zombies with my teeth!
Do I need a bib? 😉
You won’t have to fight them Fraz, I have given them instructions to be extra nice to you 🙂
A bib would be useful Red
but only as a last resort 😉
Well I hope the Skeletons listen to you, Andro! I don’t want to be their lunch!
They always listen to me Fraz 🙂
Yep only one day a year and that is too bad. I do love the Wombat beach house.
Halloween should come at least once a month. Or maybe once a week!
For a wombie world it needs to come everyday!
That’d be good, but I don’t think a lot of adults would agree.
I’m an adult…last time I checked. 😉 And I don’t need anyone to agree with me, and I say you can have it everyday. 🙂 😉
Yay!!
I won’t argue with that!!
Trick or treating, here we come!!
The Famous Five are getting lots of excitement lately fraz 🙂
As long as it isn’t too much zombie excitement!
No they have been locked up in those traps for the night so no problemo 🙂
Then I guess we should be safe. And we should be able to get lots and lots of candy!
🙂 for sure 🙂
I’m counting on it!
Thanks Rent! 🙂
No, this doesn’t seem to be working very well. Nice try though.
Have a terrific day. 🙂
I’d have a better day if I could get some free treats!
The Skeletons are having a snack and bone party later Fraz so there is bound to be some freebies there for you 🙂
But are they good freebies, or just bones and stuff?
Have you ever had just bones and stuff? 🙁 Noooooooo these are going to be Meggahumperlumpa sized treats that will make you very happy, and full of everything that you enjoy eating the most 🙂
Okay, that sounds good! I was kinda worried before!
No need to worry Fraz
those skellies are on very
good behaviour 🙂
Okay, but I’m still keeping an eye on them!
It’s all in the timing, Fraz!
Maybe I should get a watch, then.
Make sure it’s a neighborhood watch!
Yeah, a neighborhood candy watch!
You could be the sergeant at arms in charge of guarding everyone’s sweets.
Red.
Would I get paid in candy?
It is only reasonable you should be able to have a share of the take, I mean the capital you are protecting.
Red.
Okay, I’m in!
I will make sure that your share is of a very sweet nature, like candy and pancakes, wine gums and spambo wambo burgers, and a special treat of chocolate fudge ice cream with Winky sized mousse choco bars 🙂
I think I want to start right now, then!
Wait until you see the pension package!
I hope it’s all you can eat chocolate for life!
Choco forever I think it says 🙂
I like that!
Fraz, haven’t you ever seen the animaniacs? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30HIuylvFQE
Well I’m glad I didn’t knock on his door!
I guess I should wear a helmet.
Yes, and bring those death sticks you played with a week or so ago….You might need them.
Give me your chocolate or I’ll knock myself out!
I have your Nunchucks here Fraz and they are ready for some wicked Fraz action 🙂
I’m ready for some wicked Fraz action!
Well here then…Dig into this chocolate pie topped with chocolate ice cream and bordered with wine gums.
Mmmm! It’s yummy spectacular!
I have brought you some jelly babies and fruity wine gums with a fudge surprise 🙂
I guess I’ll never starve with you guys as friends!
No way, we have to have more chocolate and when you are around we triple the order 🙂
Only triple?
Okay quadruple how about that? 🙂
That’s better, but we still might run out.
I think that Twink will be run off her feet making all our pancakes but she loves that new machine of hers so we’re in luck 🙂
The pancake machine has a Turbo speed which is fast enough to even keep up with Winky!
Love Animaniacs!
Red.
But not as much as Wombies.
They were before the age of Wombies. <3
There was stuff before us??
It is nothing to compare to the Wombies.
I wouldn’t think so!
Maybe they need to have Halloween once a month!
Once a month, or once a week!
It is every night in my Space Jerry 🙂
I’ve got to move over to your place!
Okay I will move all the cobwebs and skeletons bones out, then you can bring your sleeping bag and sleep in any tomb that you want, I mean any room that you want 🙂
Tomb?? I don’t know about that!
Maybe I could just dig a burrow somewhere?
In between the mausoleum and the graveyard?
Red.
I was hoping for a non-dead people place!
Not a lot of those around the Gothic Realm. Hmm. You could go by the witches’ tree houses. Burrow between their trees?
Red.
Maybe. But even that sounds a bit scary!
Don’t worry Fraz the Zombies, Ghouls, Skeletons, Witches and Werewolves like you and want to give you lots of chilling experiences, I mean thrilling experiences 🙂 That usually means lots of yummy chocolate muffins, raspberry tarts, jelly and peanut butter sandwiches, ice cream and a Snicker between the trees 🙂
I’m still don’t know if I trust them. Maybe they just want to fatten me up before they, you know!
Chances are good the werewolves would let you stash things in their den. Just do not bring them tofu bones.
Okay, I won’t. I still think the werewolves might want to stuff me in their den, though.
You could always wear a disguise, maybe one of your fearless pirate one’s will scare them off? 🙂
Are werewolves scared of pirates? Maybe I should say “YARR” a lot!
Yes shout Yarr Me Hearties or Shooooooo with a big sharpened sword in your hand should do the trick 🙂
I will! I’m a bit afraid of werewolves!
Sad times! I’d have at least given you a granola bar, Fraz!
Next time I’ll be sure to knock on your door!
Me too 🙂
Especially the granola bars which are dipped in chocolate.
People are mean. I would give you chocolate or wine gums Fraz because you are so cute.
I’ll have to remember all the good places to go like your house! I’ll even be extra cute for you!
Nice one Tony, but you do realise now that you have opened the door that every Wombie this side of Transylwombania will be after your sweets 🙂 At least a few Vampires will be calling in too 🙂
Tony’s probably used to that. He lives in Tasmania, where wild wombats roam!
Wow we had better watch out for those then or they might want to eat our fresh supply of pancakes 🙁 Of course we can always share them if you like 🙂
We can share with them, but we’ve got to be careful. They’re still wild!
Yes they might get a taste for them and want the whole batch to themselves 🙁
Yeah, and they’d chase us for them, too!
Don’t worry we have your Wombie scooter standing by, they won’t catch us on that 🙂
I hope not! Wild wombats like to bite!
Yes and so do Vampires so
they had better watch out 🙂
If a wombat bit a vampire, would the vampire turn into a wombat? Or would the wombat turn into a vampire?
Poor Fraz. I will definitely give you chocolate if you come and see me. Maybe even home baked cookies. 🙂
I’ll be right over!!
Wow… How wicked I’m bringing mine too 🙂
And I will be right over too 😉 lol
We’ve got a lot of good places to visit!
Yes everyone is so kind 🙂
Other than the people around my neighborhood!
Yes there are a few like that around mine too 🙁
Never mind Fraz just call round to My Gothic Realm and your pumpkin sweetie holder will be full in no time at all, remember every day and night is ghoulishly exciting in my Space 🙂 Just don’t forget your cape and fangs or the skeletons will be after pinching your sweets 🙁
Okay, I won’t forget to dress up! I want my pumpkin to be full!
Yes and wear your extra long fangs too, that should scare them off 🙂
I’ll make lots of noise and carry a big flashlight, too. That should keep the skeletons away!
Try banging a drum and blowing a big whistle that usually scares everything away 🙂
Okay, I’ll try that too!
🙂 🙂
That Beach House Hacienda is brilliant Deb 🙂
Thanks you, Andro! 🙂
You’re welcome Deb 🙂
I agree with uncle Andro…great Hacienda Aunt deb.
I wonder if I can have a basking area like that 😉
That would be like the biggest turtle palace ever!
Good try Fraz. If it worked you would never have to go to the store for candy again.
That’s what I was hoping for! Free candy for ever!
This is really a great idea. If this had worked, it could have changed the world.
Yeah, some people just don’t get it! Free candy is important!
So why not declare it the monthly holiday on your island? Just think of all the people who would be willing to fill the pumpkin once per month.
Red.
That’s a good idea! Every month on the 30th we could have Wombie Pirate Day! Free candy for everyone! Especially me!
And you could make it where everyone could dress in a pirate costume!
Red.
Yeah! Any kind of pirate costume! And the best one gets a chocolate trophy!
Wow I am now busy making a new pirate costume, and I think it will be a winner 🙂
I hope you are! I dunno who’s going to be the judge, though.
Maybe Binky will.
Binky would probably make a good judge. But no rocket costumes allowed!
Maybe Twink will do the judging, and while she is busy doing that we can eat lots of pancakes 🙂
Maybe they could both be judges. Then I wouldn’t have to worry about them winning the best costume prize!
I can’t see anyone beating you in that contest 🙂
I hope not! My pirate costume is real! And so is my pirate ship!
I’d have been happy to give Fraz something for his efforts (if any candy I was around actually survived long enough to make it back from the store, that is)…
🙂
Next time I’ll try knocking on your door. Or maybe I should just follow you to the store.
Yes we can follow him in some wicked looking disguises, that way he will be so shocked and surprised that he will drop all of his sweets and chocolates into my hands 🙂 That sounds like a great plan, what do you think Fraz? 😉
Wow, we could do that to everyone who goes to the candy store! We’d be like candy millionaires!
I was thinking that you were going to say… that his sweets and chocolates would be better falling into your hands but yes I agree we will be candy millionaires in no time at all 🙂
I figured we’d share, whoever ends up with the chocolates.
Yes I like sharing 🙂
This cracked me up!!
Thanks, Doug!
I used to have that EXACT same pumpkin candy collector. My sister and I would argue for it every year. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups looked so good inside 😛
I had one like that too. I bet the Peanut Butter cups tasted even better than they looked.
It’s a shame it only works on Halloween. Thanks for stopping by.

Yeah, that’s why there needs to be a Halloween every month!
Sorry for visiting so late…been having some Internet problem lately.
Too bad there’s no trick or treating in my country. It would be fun to have extra food once in a while 😉
I could dress up as a wombie 😉
That’d be a great idea! And I could dress up as a Ninja Turtle!
Too bad there’s no Halloween where you live. Maybe you could start one!
there is a grown up Halloween party…but not the same with your children costume parade 🙁
Hmmm…I wonder will that work in my country, we are after all very superstitious
Halloween should mean free candy to kids! Maybe you could work on fixing that.
hehehe, sometimes even Chris is right. 😉
Yeah, but don’t tell him that!
