    Wombie Wookiee

    Wombie Wookiee by Bearman CartoonsThe Wombie Wookiee is a mash up of Peter Marinacci’s Wombania comic characters and a Star Wars Wookiee (Chewbacca).  It started when Peter sent me this background image of Canada.  Don’t ask me what it is but I said one day I would do something with it.  Then a week or so ago somewhere in the blogosphere, he and I were joking and he mentioned a Wombie Wookie.   So of course I planned on doing it but before I could the illustrious Cha beat me to it.

    Anyway here is my version.  If you can’t read the Chocolate Bar he is holding it Says “Wookiee Wombie Bar – May the Chocolate Be With You.

    And honestly I didn’t know you spelled “Wookiee” that way until I spell checked myself cuz I know all of you would be all over me.

     

  • Wombat Facts

    Wombat FactsToday’s cartoon lesson on Australia, takes us to discuss the lesser popular marsupial, the wombat.

    Interesting that indeed wombats poop square shaped pellets.  They are practically blind and use their scent to find each other (no wonder Binky doesn’t bathe) so their square poop won’t fall off the log or other areas they drop it.  And because they don’t process the vegetation they eat very well, someone decided they would make a good source of paper fiber.

    For those who don’t recognize the glass wearing animal in the lower right, that is Binky a Wombie from Peter Marinacci’s webcomic Wombania.  He says that wombies are genetically altered more intelligent wombats.  Whenever Peter posts a cartoon with Binky I tend to act like I don’t like him.  And Binky returns the favor if you have ever read the comments on my posts.

    So yes.  The first ugly cousin of the cute koala are wombats/wombies.   Well really just Binky (the rest of the wombies are cute).
