Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for August 02, 2011

The Dept of Mental Health does not recommend looking at *THOM*’s strip today for periods exceeding 2 seconds. Readers who insist on doing so (ML comes to mind) will suffer permanent brain damage, which will probably not be noticed by those who know her, er them.

Sure is colorful.

Lame if you’d ask me

Central American Network for Disaster and Health Information (CANDHI)?

Or the Big Rock Candy Mountain?

But Grog said it, “Sure is colorful”

beebl….bummm….abbbuuu….skyxnex……buwe….

ooohhh pretty!

Implying Mathatma was a sucker for punishment?

Coupld of small faces and good rendition of Jabba the Hut’s body……Thom is a sucker for Star Wars…….☻

I am getting very very sleepy.

Lew, I’m not sure it took me anywhere near 2 seconds to see that reclining rockhead to the left Mahatma.

This is REALLY funny today!

But, nobody tell Lew about these faces today. (she whispers)……..especially the rock on the left, and the cute rock nose/eyes with the stick smile bottom center.

That pretty swirly thing in the center has made me continue to look for more faces……..

Psst……..don’t tell Lew, but look up in the sky………No, it’s not a bird, nor a plane……..

but a bunch of animals! You have to enlarge the picture, but it sure is there…..WOO HOO!!

it’s time for one of the few jokes I can remember (pardon me, please):

Ghandi went barefoot, so his soles were tough. He fasted, and that can lead to bad breath. Beause of the fasting, his health wasn’t always good. He was considered a mystic by some. What was he?

Let’s sing along: He was a super-callused, fragile mystic with extreme halitosis!

So sorry

bugs dig sugar

and, apparently, he was a sucker for pun-ishment.

MT Lady, when you spoke of the face below Mahatma, I saw first the line drawing to the left, beyond the ant there, smiling up at the mystic.+++++I guess Mahatma was a candy-date for Nirvana.

Seems to be an insufferable prig of a face in Mahatma’s green strip near the top..Oh, and another line drawing of a face to the left, just under the rock-face..The yellow candy stripes may have text in them, especially the one on the middle right, which (if you cross your eyes and look at your feet properly) might include a “Nora”.

The State Institute for the Permanently Insane will be open for two extra hours tonight. Bring your toothbrush.

Bmonk, I must not be looking at it correctly.I did’ti see the line drawings you saw. I’m trying your 2nd. Set of instructions: crossing my eyes — looking down at….OH CRAP ! ! The cats did it again. Sorry! Gotta go.

L O double L I P O P spells lollipop!It’s a lick on a stick Guaranteed to make you sickLollipop for me!

I wonder if Thom ever sits back and laughs at us finding all of the faces he didn’t put there…

MP’s best role, Ladyhawk.

Fearless leader Thom’s ink supply is now expended….
