Weed Control Flame Thrower
Weeds have finally met their match. Unfortunately, so has the grass.
(This comic strip was previously published on May 28, 2009.)
Debbie Adams’ newest Wombie adoption is Buzz, a very rare spotted Wombie. Buzz is a little younger than Fraz, but they like to play together and being pirates is one of their favorite games.
I see people here in Germany using a blow torch to kill weeds all the time. Good idea Binky. Just don’t kill the lawn.
Perhaps I should move to Germany, then. I believe it’s a little too late for the lawn this year. It should grow back.
Throw some homemade fertilizer on it. I’m sure it’ll be fine.
I’ll try that, but I’m not so sure. I had the temperature set a bit high, and I don’t think there is anything left to regrow.
You certainly scorched
the earth that day Binky 🙂
Yes, well, on the positive side, the weeds won’t be coming back any time soon.
Binky take it easy as it remind me the ‘Black hole’ moving down to earth.. hope you warned them in Australia…
I hope my scorching didn’t penetrate the earth that far down!
The fertilizer, “Your personal fertilizer” is what I was talking about. I don’t think Chris would be too happy if you used the front lawn as your new WC. 😉
How barbaric! No, I didn’t think that’s what you meant.
Great idea, Binky, but RUN!
I did. Luckily, Chris isn’t much of a runner.
Well, I’m glad you are!
Chris should be happy because he don’t have to mow the lawn!
Yes. Perhaps no mowing, ever.
Binky, you look like Peter…what have you done now?!
There must have been some sort of time continuum malfunction or something. It seems to be fixed now.
I see that…glad you look like yourself again! 😉 🙂
Me too. I didn’t like the look of that imposter.
That’s what I was thinking Deb,
Chris is never satisfied is he? 🙁
Humans are difficult to understand and difficult to please.
Never! I think we need to take him to the side for a while and work him over with some chocolate.
Chris seems strangely resistant to the persuasive powers of chocolate.
Chris said if you coat his fertalizers with some chocolate he does not mind…
I suppose I could try that if it’d make Chris happy.
Whatever float is boat
I know what sinks it!
Buzz is a very special Wombie in my house….thank you for him, Peter! 🙂
You’re welcome, Deb. Buzz is a handful, I’m sure. But he couldn’t have found a better home.
He is…he keep me fit chasing after the little rascal. He’s ticklish you know. 🙂
And more than a bit devilish, too, I bet.
Well….just a little. 🙄
I can imagine.
I know what you thinking.
What’s the fun of putting gasoline on the weeds if you can’t light them up!
A lawn can be quite a pyrotechnic show if done properly.
Bwahahahahahahaha. Would you send Binky over to our house? We have lots of weeds.
Have a fabulous day. 🙂
I’d be happy to help you with your weed problem.
That’s what we need for our lawn, since all the grass is already dead anyway.
Why is it that the grass can’t survive anything, but the weeds can survive everything? I think we’re backing the wrong side in the lawn wars.
I think we need Binky’s help and tomorrow would be a good day as we’re working in the yard…:) Oh, and Buzz makes a great little pirate!
Hi Lauren…You have a great Memorial Day weekend!
You, too, Deb! xx
Since many people seem to want my services, I’ll have to set up a lawn care schedule.
I think that’s a smart idea, Binky!
Binky’s Scorched Earth Weed Control Lawn Care Services, Inc. Maybe I should work on the name.
I think you should work on the name. 😀
I think that is wise advice.
🙂
Can I borrow Binky for a few days? We are off to Washington DC 😉
I’m sorry Loon, but I try to refrain from using my powers for political purposes.
I think she meant for toasting her marshmallows, I brought her a massive box full last time I was there and now she is sharing them out 🙂
By the way, I like the
white one’s best Loon 🙂 xxxx
Oh, I misunderstood, then. My rocket-powered flame thrower would make an efficient marshmallow toaster.
Oh Binky that was an overkill 🙁 But never mind it was well intended 🙂
Yes, and I think Chris wanted to kill me!
Wow that thing looks like the divining rod I just got to find water. I didn’t know it would find HOT water too!
It’s also good for locating rocket fuel.
He found out soon enough!
Yes, unfortunately.
Nice one Binky, those weeds are toast, and so is the lawn 🙂 Technology is great, only when Chris is on holiday and time for the lawn to grow back 🙂
In the lawn wars, there are always casualties. Perhaps we could paint the ground green.
Buzz looks great in his Pirate clothes 🙂 I wonder if he has a Spaceman outfit? He will need when Binky finishes our rocket project, by now it should be almost ready for launch 🙂
I don’t think Binky’s rocket is ready for launch, but I’m sure ready for lunch!
Love the colours in this comic strip they are so vibrant, and the storyline is brilliant. You definitely got the expressions and body language right on all characters, especially Binky as he turns and looks at Twink 🙂 Priceless… Nice one Peter 🙂
Thanks, Andro. I didn’t like the background colors I had previously used, and thought something more representative of fire would work better.
He’s a pro active weed killer!
I try to eradicate them efficiently.
Genius is often misunderstood.
It most definitely is.
After all that work…Binky needs to reward himself…………………by eating lots of chocolate 🙂
Yes, I think that would be appropriate.
We just read a book about wombats that we got at the library. 🙂
That one didn’t dress like a cute, er, menacing pirate though. 🙂
Some wombats have more fashion sense than others.
Rocket powered flamethrowers, the cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.
It does eliminate a multitude of problems.
Awww Deb has so many wombies. And I’m sure they’re super happy with her.
I cannot have more wombies. Coco and Vanille are very sweet, but being a mom is a lot of work. Ahahah
Hugs to everyone!
Being a Wombie momma is a lot of work, and can be quite taxing. I’m not sure how Deb survives with six of them under foot.
Two problems solved. Don’t have to cut the grass either
Unfortunately, Chris did not see the lack of grass as a plus.
he’s a grass half empty kind of guy…
Half empty could describe many things about him.
Well, Binky did solve the problem.
Yes, and got blamed for it as well.
Now Binky opened his new business I have two sheep for sale.. Anyone?
Are they rocket-powered sheep?
iHa Ha!!! Incredibly effective & It’s not like it won’t grow back…
I think Chris may need sedation though until then
It was quite effective eliminating the weeds. Chris could probably use sedation most of the time. Maybe we could spike his coffee.
I could use one for my house…can they eliminate mice too ?
I could not use it on animals, no matter how much of a pest they may be.
You have good heart, Bink
🙂
Hey that’s not a bad idea. Next time try roundup instead.
I thought a non-chemical solution would be better.
