Winter Tires
One should always be prepared for winter, especially when one is Winky.
(This comic strip was previously published on January 18, 2010.)
Our good friend Rachael from the YoYo-Dyne Propulsion Systems blog celebrated Wombat Day with a Happy Wombat Day 2013! post that included a picture of her Wombat Day dinner of waffles and wine gums.
Hey, I got a winter tyre on my belly to…problem is it is summer in Australia 🙁
I guess it’s an all season tire then!
You people in the southern hemisphere are always trying to be different than us people in the northern hemisphere. 😉
They have their seasons all mixed up, but I wouldn’t tell them that!
Never mind Loon we will soon have you running rings around the Wombies and getting into shape, ready for all the pancakes, marshmallows, wine gums and spam on offer this year 🙂 Wombie parties here we come 🙂 Yaaaay xxxx
I’m all ready to roll!
Me too 🙂
It is really best way to celebrate fun with friends !! I was also celebrate my birthday party as similar as you !!
I always like to celebrate with waffles or pancakes!
chocolates are always
a good idea too Winky 🙂
Chocolates are mandatory!
You never know when you need to roll down a hill just for the fun of it. 🙂
That sounds like fun! I’m going to do that!
Yeah, wait until the first snow storm and see who has the last laugh!
I won’t be the one getting stuck, that’s for sure!
Those are some gummy looking, I mean yummy looking waffles. 🙂 And lol to the tires!
That gives me an idea. I bet sticky waffles could be used as tires!
Well, I’m not sure that those tires are going to do him much good. I get mine the regular way. Way too much food and chocolate and then I get the built in tire.
Love the waffles. Too cool.
Have a fabulous day. 🙂
I have a built-in one too, but I thought these would be better for winter.
I got mine installed right after holidays, Winky…around my waistline.
That’s the best place to have one!
Noooooo!
Well for Wombies it is!
I usually take my tire off by then mid to end February. When with you shed your two tires on your tire.
I might never take my tires off. I kind of like them!
If you change them to tire tubes you can use them to float…and bouce!…that would be fun!
That does sound like fun! I’ll change to tubes when it gets warmer!
It seems easier for a Wombie to get rid of their spare tires. Mine are stuck and won’t slide off! :OP
My original one is permanent too. I just put the other tires over my natural one!
Now that’s a Wombie breakfast!
And I wasn’t even there! I bet Victor and Victoria thought they were yummy, though.
In that case I fix you some chocolate chip pancakes.
They’re my favorite!
In that case you can have an unlimited supply! Followed with milkshakes!…or hot chocolate if that’s too cold for you.
Hot chocolate might be better this time of year. But when you’re warm and toasty inside, milkshakes are good too!
Hot chocolate, then milkshakes, then tot chocolate, then milkshakes…over and over again!
That sounds perfect! With some pizza and pancakes thrown in!
Those must be spare tires, because they’re around his waist!
Everyone should have spare winter tires!
They look just like my tyres or should I say just the one tyre and that was just since Christmas arrrgh!, and now I want them waffles heheh!
Have a fantabulous weekend 🙂
The more waffles I eat, the tighter my tires fit!
I don’t think he needs to worry about snow tires if he’s resolved to watch more TV.
FYI, I shared Winky’s New Year’s resolutions with my students when they were writing theirs. It was a hit.
Thanks!

That’s funny, Joyce. I’m glad they liked Winky’s resolutions! Hopefully they won’t adopt them, though.
Having a snow tire will probably make it less painful when you run into things!
I can bounce off anything now!
Very clever. if you fall in the snow you would still roll. lol
Rolling downhill is always fun!
Only TWO winter tires ?… I did not know that Winky drove a motorcycle!
I dont’t! But I didn’t think four tires would fit.
Trust Winky to be all philosophical about tires 🙂 Still, it just goes to show how deep his tread is and with all that snow around we need someone that is logically minded, well adjusted, fearless against dragons and zombies, has great knowledge, and can eat five hundred spam burgers at one sitting. Well at least the spam burgers sounds right 🙂 Just kidding Winky, you’re the best 🙂
Am I all that? Wow, I didn’t know that! Well, I knew about the eating part. But not the rest! I think I’ll go have some waffles to celebrate!
I have a freshly made
stack of them just for you 🙂
Oh boy! Just in time for breakfast!
I like Rachael’s plate of goodness 🙂 Those look like real juicy wine gums too 🙂 I wonder if there are any left? 🙂
Nope, none left. Victor and Victoria told me.
I knew that they would
have been scoffed quickly 🙁
You can’t leave waffles with Wombies and expect them to last!
Tires make a great accessory!
And they make my other spare tire look small!
I love this break fast and your cool site ! It brought back my childhood memories of playing with teddy bears 😉
Thank you, Lala. I’m glad it brought back some nice memories for you.
Many people put on a few spare tyres over winter. Winky will be ok if he falls over but I’m wondering if he needs snow chains?
I might need snow chains with all the snow we’re getting. But then if I fall over, I might not be able to get up.
Maybe snow chains with helium balloons attached
You’re a genius!
Yeah, I know
Are you related to Binky?
Probably not Winky. Binky has lots of hair & I don’t have any except for my moustache. I do wear glasses though. Actually maybe the moustache indicates that I’m a distant relative of the Hairy Nosed Wombat. You just never know…
Maybe you are then! I remember you like blowing things up. Binky likes that too. Do you ever stare up at the stars?
Yes Winky, yes I do!!!
I think you and Binky must be somehow related!
He does look like him 🙂
Tony’s ears are a bit low, though.
For many years now I have been known by the Indian name “Low ears who looks like a wombie”
You must be at least part Wombie then!
Yeah, I really need snow tires. Thanks for the reminder.
They sure make rolling around in the snow a lot more fun!
Ah!! fortunately he talks to Twink not Binky 😉
Binky would probably just think my tires were stupid.
Hmmm…I think he would think someone is stupid not someTHING
You’re probably right!
Urgh!! Food, food and more food, but WAFFLES? ’tis not food, ’tis a treat of a sweet. ‘specially with Maple syrup on. Hardly any calories at all. erm…well, maybe one or two. 🙂 Belated Happy New Year wishes to one and all. hugs aplenty. xPenx
In Wombania, all treats are have zero calories, so as much as you want you can eat!
Happy New Year to you, too, Pen.
Hey! I got a spare tire that looks kinda like that. Except mine has snow chains on it :OP You know, it’s more fashionable!
I think snow chains are really in this season! I need to get some myself.
Also, I like the waffles a lot! I think we have wine gums in the States, but they call them fruit snacks here. They look very similar.
Wine gums tend to be difficult to find in the States, but in larger cities you can find them at British import shops. I hadn’t heard of fruit snacks, but they do look similar. Wine gums are firm and chewy. Swedish Fish are a bit like wine gums, but they’re softer and sweeter.
He definitely looks a bit tired.
Maybe I need to eat more.
Hm, a bit strange idea 😉
Strange is my name!
Ahahah Winter & Summer tires I guess. He can go to the pool with that!
I might have to wait for the pool. I think it’s frozen!
the only solution —> Caribbean!!
I like that solution! I wish I could fly!
There’s a lot of waffling
going on around here 🙂
I never waffle around waffles. I just eat them!
okay…I didn’t expect that..hehehe.
I like to surprise people!
I think Winky has the right idea; it’s always good to be prepared! Great job, Peter, and that dinner looks delicious! 🙂
Safety first! Well, safety and fashion first.
Tires are always in fashion! Well I guess I should change them in the summer.
