Wombania’s 10th Anniversary
The Wombania comic strip was first published in newspapers ten years ago this week.
It made its debut on Thursday, November 20, 2003, in the Falls Church News-Press. And, amazingly enough, it still appears in that weekly paper to this very day. Strangely, none of the Wombies have aged a bit in those ten years. For some of us, however, it feels like a lifetime.
Wow! Ten years, that’s really impressive! Congratulations! 😀
Thanks, Bill. It only seems like 100.
Congratulations !
Thanks, Duncan.
Congrats! I think it’s good enough to go nationwide! 🙂
Maybe Fraz could carry around a stuffed tiger or something… or maybe Binky should just carry Fraz around like he is a stuffed animal 😉 People seemed to be into that kind of thing.
Na, I think you guys are fine just the way you are.
Yeah, maybe I should try something like that. Although Calvin and Hobbes only lasted 10 years itself. They were a bit more famous, though.
I’m a bigger fan of the wombies myself. They even come to visit 8-Bit Nerds. Neither Calvin nor Hobbes has ever dropped by.
Thanks, Dave. I hear C&H are a bit elitist.
Wow! That’s awesome, congrats on 10 years!
Thanks, Julian.
Congratulation on your 10the anniversary!…I think this calls for a big party!
So do I! A party with lots of chocolate and wine gums!
I just had a bit semi-truck pull up this morning with all the chocolate you sent for my Wombie clan…Yay!
I’ve made for the party, chocolate cake, chocolate fudge, chocolate cookies, chocolate doughnuts, chocolate peanut butter drop cookies and a barrel of chocolate milkshakes….Dig in!
That should be enough treats to keep our party going for the whole day! Thanks, Deb!
Fraz should make some chocolate pizza!
I did! You better get some before it’s all gone!
Nom, nom, nom…thanks, Fraz!
I guess I better make some more!
Gooooood idea! Dink, Tink, Chewy, Cookie and Shadow want some too!
OK! Our anniversary party is gonna last all week! I wouldn’t want them not to get their share!
I knew you’d come through. You always make enough for all your friends!
I brought a fresh batch of milkshakes, brownies and cookies. Oh wait….Tink just finished the spambo burgers…enough for everyone!
And just in time for a bedtime snack! I think I’ll sleep well tonight!
Congratulations on 10 years!
Thanks, David.
Maybe I have read about this before but I don’t remember anymore…so, this post is a WOW post, the wombies are famous.
Congratulation Peter (and the wombies) 🙂
Thanks, Novroz. We’re so famous, no one knows about us!
♪♪Happy Anniversary to you,♪♪

What a nice singing voice you have! Thank you, Sandee.
What an achievement! Congratulations!
Thanks, Michael.
And I think this is the first wombie image that was copyrighted in the same year as the posting hahah Congrats Peter!!
Thanks, Bearman. And what you said is true because the newspapers get the new cartoons, while the older ones are posted here.
And they’ve never had a fight! Congratulations!
Well, just some small ones. Thanks, Mike.
Happy 10 year comicversary Peter & the Wombies. I was gunna attach a 10 kilogram block of chocolate (1kg per year) to this comment but I’d already clicked the “Post Comment” button
Oh I still had Dixie’s details in the fields from her last comment. I’ll eat the chocolate ‘cos it isn’t good for dogs
Thanks, Tony and Dixie. I think that’s why the Wombies eat all that chocolate, too. To prevent the poor dogs from getting it.
Congratulations Peter, your Wombies of Wombania will live on forever I am sure of that my great friend. It is amazing how time just whizzes by but what a great decade, I think Chris is the only one to have aged, I wonder why? 🙂 lol
Have a brilliant rest of evening Peter 🙂
Andro
Thanks, Andro. Well, I can hope they will live on. They need to get their own TV show or something. Or maybe their own line of wine gums.
A TV show sounds brilliant, and waking up to the Wombies every morning would be a treat to millions of kid’s, well we all enjoy them so I know that they would for sure 🙂
Wombie Wine Gums
now there’s a treat all
wrapped in one wicked
bundle 🙂
Andro
I think a Wombie TV show would be pretty good, too. Now all we have to do is convince someone with the power to make it happen.
Wombie Wine Gums has a nice ring to it. And they could come with a little Wombie figure in each bag!
We need to try everything possible to achieve that goal, I know that all the kid’s would love your Wombania characters 🙂
Never say Never peter, it could happen sooner than you think 🙂 🙂
It would be nice! I have not made any efforts to pursue that, though.
Your Ten Years Celebration
Header is Absolutely Brilliant 🙂
Andro
It was difficult to get them to line up on the stage together, but I was able to manage it with a bribe or two.
Yes I noticed all the chocolate
around Winky and Fraz’s mouths 🙂 lol
They definitely have their weakness!
Yes and me too 🙂 lol
I must admit a weakness for chocolate myself.
Congrats on 10 years, Peter, Wow, that is awesome! Oh, and is there any chocolate left? Anything chocolate? It’s Monday! 🙂
By the way, it’s magical for the Wombies not to age…I’d love to know their secret…maybe it’s in the chocolate, after all! 🙂
Thanks, Lauren. I think the chocolate is pretty much gone, unfortunately. I’ll get Winky to whip you up a new batch of Wombie chocolates just for you.
I think the Wombies’ secret to not aging, is to age everyone else around them instead. Sort of an aging diversion strategy.
I think that is the same strategy our children use.
Probably why young parents age so fast.
Hey Red, great to see
you here again 🙂 🙂 Yaaaaay xxxx
Yes, it is!
Congratulations on ten years of wombat fun!

Thank you, Joyce.
Do you have any wine gum dispensers? They may come in handy for a party like that.
Dispensers may be good for people. But I prefer to eat them by the bag!
Congradulation on 10 my friend. Chocolate all around.
Thanks, Jeremy. The gang will certainly appreciate the chocolate!
Bravo Wombies, what legends!!!
We’re legends? Yay!
Loon are you enjoying a
wicked Friday? I hope so 🙂 xxxx
Congratulations on 10 years!
Thanks, Tom.
Super big enormous happy anniversary, Peter! Ten years is a huge accomplishment, I admire your work, your dedication and your stamina!
Thanks, Mark. In some ways, it seems a lot longer than 10 years! I don’t know if I’ll ever reach the 25 year mark like you have with Zombie Boy. Now that’s an accomplishment!
Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary, Haaaaaaaaaaappy Anni-ver-sar-y
Thanks for the serenade, Rosy!
i enjoyed that singing
too 🙂 Well done Rosey 🙂
🙂
I wish you a super-duper congratulations on your Ten-Year Anniversary! That is a huge accomplishment. I am so proud of ya.
Thanks, George. The first ten years are the hardest, I hope.
JOYEUX ANNIVERSAIRE, Wombania!!!! 😀 Wooohoooooooo
Please never stop. Love these guys too much. 🙂 xxxx
Thanks, Cha. I’m not planning to stop, but time and age might have other plans.
Wonderful indeed! Heartiest congratulations Peter. Cheers 🙂
Thank you, Dilip.
10 years is a major milestone achievement, Peter! A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU! Wow, how many episodes is that? You must have 800 Yottabytes of comics in your hard drives.
Thanks, Joseph. It’s not that many strips since Wombania is a weekly, not a daily. I’ve done 580 comics so far.
Congratulations, Peter. This is an amazing achievement. Wombies are wonderful. Here’s hoping for ten more!

Thanks, Red. I hope I can last for ten more.
Yes of course you can, chocolate
keeps us younger every day 🙂 lol
Maybe if I eat enough of it, I can start de-aging.
PS I love the double reflection on the bottom of the trophy.
I had to made sure the stage was well-polished for the event!
Yes I agree Red and their feet are
perfectly reflected too, how brilliant 🙂 xxxx
Maybe I should do shiny floors more often.
Congratulations once again 🙂 And sorry, that so late.
Many happy returns of a day 🙂
I forgot to add, that you all look just great 🙂
That’s probably because we all just had some chocolate.
Thanks, Sabina.
Okay…some thing is wrong with me…..I looked at that…realised it’s been 10 years since the Wombies were created…looked at that picture again..and I wanna cry……..
Is this what happens to those who finally realise they’ve been hooked lined and sinked by the Wombies? *sniff*
Maybe it’s just that I’ve been “away” for too long? Haven’t come here for some weeks now!
Congratulations Peter for 10 years of Wombania!! and may there be many more years to come!! 😀
Thank you, Shree. But I hope those were happy tears and not sad ones. None of the Wombies would want to make you cry! It’s supposed to be a happy occasion. I’ll tell Winky to send you some of his special chocolates.
Definitely happy tears Peter 🙂
I’ll be waiting for those chocolates…thanks 😉
That’s good. I’ll tell Winky to make your delivery a priority.
And I’m glad you’ve been hooked. Now if I only could get a few hundred more on line!
Hmmm….well…not sure how much I can help…but I *do* have Facebook…and Twitter. Maybe that *may* help 😀
If you’d like to give me a mention, I certainly would appreciate it! I hardly ever go on those sites. I really should try promoting my stuff there, but I’m really pathetic at publicity and that sort of stuff.
Congratulations on ten years Peter. That is a very significant accomplishment. You have a lot of passion and dedication.
Thanks, Denny. And it only feels like a hundred!
So sorry that we miss your anniversary 🙁
Happy anniversary (tho very late). We all wish you another long great ten year ahead 🙂
That’s okay, Novia. We knew you were busy, so we managed to save you some cake!
And thanks!
Congratulations! That’s quite the landmark.
Thanks, Tyler. It only seems like 20.
