HAHAHA Carmy!

Are you a Corn Keeper, or a Crowsmudgeon? (what is that?)

hahahah

Carmy’s famous!

Carmy also has a bit of an audience behind her.

Congrats Carmy. Pay no attention to those Hecklers and Jecklers. Look at those smiling faces behind you. Smiling faces? Was it the O’Jays? I never thought about it before. “Smiling faces tell lies.” Jesus, Maria, y todos los Santos! How am I going to get a weekend appointment?

Smiling faces,sometimes They don’t tell the truth Smiling faces tell lies And I got proof.

Can anyone open these child proof bottles,quickly?

Congrats, Carmy!

Hi All,

Well, if you haven’t guessed by now… today’s toon is a tribute to our special, ever-smiling, machete-wielding keeper of the faith… (corn) - CARMY!

Thank you, Carmy, for all YOUR contributions to Birdbrains. You have more fans than the dumb cartoon!!! :)

My email is thombluemel@yahoo.com. Send me your address and I will send you the original cartoon, as is our Birdbrains tribute custom.

And thank you all for reading this crowsdmudgeon of a cartoon!!

Thom

Thank you, Thom, for this crowsdmudgeon of a cartoon that we enjoy so much.

Great job Thom, as usual.

From the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary

“Main Entry: cur·mud·geon Pronunciation: (ˌ)kər-ˈmə-jən\ Function: noun Etymology: origin unknown Date: 1568 1 archaic : miser 2 : a crusty, ill-tempered, and usually old man”

You left out two key parts of the definition, Joe.

And yes, I sometimes do resemble the full definition.

Poor Lewreader If he ever did get that bottle open, I’m thinking it was not a pretty sight.

Lew….buddy… get a medminder from your pharmacy. Those covers are real easy to open in an emergency.

Congratulations, Carmy!

Crowsmudgeon, I like it! Congrats Carmy!

CONGRATS CARMY!!!

dry You forgot joy, marg, carmy, and you are tied!

Carmy you be careful those tools look sharp. :D

Thank you ALL for the congrats!

Chief Thom Thom, thank you so much, again! You are very welcome for my contributions. I really love to look for those faces that you sneakily hide for us!! I will be emailing you very soon. I have friends, not fans. YOU have lots of fans, Birdbrainiacs actually!

Tabby, the sharper the better!

EIDo—I knew someone had to touch on that eventually. lol

CARMY!!!!!! YAY!!!!! Love the machete!

Thanks, Thom! Congratulations, Carmy! I see the peanut–err, corn gallery is enjoying the accolades…

A Star is born! Congratulations Carmy.

Sorry I’m late but this comics doesn’t seem to want to update until I’m in bed, So I missed the party.

Thank you all again for the congrats!

3 cheers for Thom! Huzzah, huzzah, huzzah!!

Carmy you rock! Thom Rocks.

I don’t. BUT Dry and Doc do. hahahaha “The Crew” is also “The Tribe” eh?

I know myself and others have said it before, but Thank You Thom, for giving us this strip to laugh at and dissect. It truly is a respite form the daily grind of the real world.

You make us feel special just with your interaction with us. And this is just another way of you showing that special trait to us.

Kudos on a great strip today and everyday!

And I will add my thanks to all of the readers who make this strip so popular. It means it will be here for many strips to come!

DO I HAVE THE BEST READERS IN THE WORLD OR WHAT?!!

Thank you all for the kind words - for me and for Carmy, who we all love!!

I lift my glass to the Tribe!

Thank you - I am truly humbled.

Thom

At least it won’t be messy. She uses a knife and fork.

Love it! And the Tribe are all ears. BMonk you took my comment - that’ll teach me for coming online so late.

The O’Jays also sang Backstabber. How ironic or inspired.

Allan, you do too rock! BTW, it just so happens that several of the The Tribe are also members of The Crew and The Birdbrainiacs.

Thank you again to everyone and especially to Thom!

Wow! Am I ever late!

Congrats Carmy!!!

CONGRATULATIONS CARMY!

I KNEW YOU’D MAKE THE CUT!

Goodbye Carmy the …..

May your memory live on in the hearts of those who love you, may they find comfort in your love for them and their love for one another.
