Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for August 01, 2010

Grog!!!

I see faces!!! I see little suns!!!

Happy Grog Dance!!!!

Face is in the head on the stein, left hand side.

I wonder if Grog will like this one. I do not know how best to comment on this art, so I’ll wait to see what he says.

I had to quit drinking 10 years ago (well, I didn’t have to if I wanted to spend another year as a ward of the state) but I still see faces. I found 10 this morning in less than 2 minutes. Sir, we’ve had this procedure called a lobotomy and all the doctors agree you would be a prime candidate.” No siree Bob! I’ll stick to these handfuls of pills. Gobs and gobs of doctor prescribed forgetfulness. Isn’t science wonderful? Oops, medication time. Have a lovely weekend. La La La La

GROG THE BRITISH NAVY CUT YOU OUT! BUT BIRDBRAINIACS LOVE YOU

Congratulations, Grog!

(Oh, and Lewreader, you weren’t a cdward of the state, were you?)

In Heaven there is no beer (No beer?!) That’s why we drink it here And when we’re all gone from here Our friends will be drinking all the beer. In Heaven there is no wine (No wine?!) So we drink till we feel fine And when we leave this all behind Our friends will be drinking all the wine. In Heaven there is no fear (No fear) So we worry too much here And we drink ourselves full of beer To help us when we deal with the fear. In Heaven there are no drugs That’s why we hang with thugs And when the Lord pulls the plug All the thugs will still be selling drugs, yeah. Thugs and drugs Beer… In Heaven there is no sex (Oh no!) So let’s do that next And when our muscles no longer flex Someone else will be having sex. In Heaven there are no wars Or cars, or movie stars And when we no longer are The world will probably still be having wars. What the heck! Yeah! Sex and war, Bars and cars. Drugs, thugs, And delicious food

Thanks, Thom & everyone! This just made my Sunday morning. I think the face on Stein looks like me on any given morning.

Since I’m out of cold pepsi at the moment, I think I’ll celebrate with a beer.

Here’s lookin’ at you, Grog! As are the faces in Foamingstein (’s foam).

Congrats Grog! You’re 100% proof, hee hee!

Woo Hoo, Grog……love your picture!!! and, your song!

Congrats!

Congrats, Grog!

Grog you might just as well celebrate by watching “Lost Weekend” while chugging that beer.

Or perhaps “Days Of Wine and Roses.”

Grats Grog!!!

Hi cleo. How about Strange Brew

Congrats Grog!!!

Awesome, Thom!!

Good Sunday Morning Everyone.

Or Grog you could just spend the day drinking wine and eating cheese, and catching some rays, you know!

CONGRATS FELLOW BABY!

Thanks, everyone!

Congrats Grog … after bein’ awake from 6pm to 1pm EST I feel groggy myself, and might need a nap.

Fellow Baby, what can I say? There’s no booze, no broads….THERE’S NO ACTION!

Grog: Thanks for the poem. It explains a

lot of things.

Birbrainiacs Alert!

Okay, everybody already knows today’s cartoon is dedicated to our special Grog! As is our tradition (if you can call it that), GROG, you can email me your mailing address at thombluemel@yahoo.com and I will send the original cartoon, if you want it.

I am continually amazed at the quality of cartoon readers I have for Birdbrains!! I must have THE smartest readers out there!

Thank you all for reading this 1000 proof cartoon!

By the way, I’d like to know if you’d all like to see more birds in Birdbrains or if my current path of wild and crazy antics is okie dokie.

Oh, and LuvH8, your time is coming… what a challenge that one will be! Stay tooned…

Thanks, gang! Lew, if you’re able to sit up, hang in there, buddy. :) Lonewolf - as always, thanks for your support!

Thom

Thanks again Thom! I love the way you honor us all.

Thanks again everyone else!

Bargrove, I actually remember that as a song I used to hear on the radio back in the early 70’s.

Three Cheers For Our Supreme Leader!

 

Thanks once again, Thom,

As one of your loyal readers, I can say that all of your ideas for Birdbrains have been great. Whichever way you go with them is good. I don’t think you will get any complaints, sir.

The field is so wide open when it comes to Birdbrains, Thom. Keep up the great work.

Way to go Thom! Congrats Grog!

I see a couple of faces in the suds, or is that just the beer talking……

DFrog, I also saw a second face in the foam–top left of the head, and another near the table in the foam at the bottom center of the stein. Then there’s what looks like part of a cat face near the top of the stein, near the center.

Is this Grog’s mug shot???

YEAH GROG

Congratulations, Grog!

Ah, Old Frothingslosh! Gotta’ have a pizza…

AuldWan……Pittsburgh’s finest beer.

“with the beer being so lite that the foam is at the bottom”

My hubby is a Pgh. native!

Those two are always drunk.

Thom………ALL of your comics are awesome!! Any way you draw them they are too funny! Keep up the good work.

Got my picture back from the framers yesterday……I’ll email a shot of it to you. Thanks again!

Grog, ah yes, I had forgotten that classic.

cleo, it may not be a classic, but it certainly fits the theme.

Grog, yes it does. Since I was born and have lived in Canada, I have always liked Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis.

Same here. I actually have their album as I recall called The Great White North with Geddy Lee from Rush doing Take Off!

grog  Yay For The Grog!!!

Love it , LuvH8!

Grog since I hadn’t seen either of them for awhile I googled them. Dave Thomas is still acting, but I don’t have TV and most of what he has done is in that medium. Rick Moranis retired after his wife died of cancer.

  Yay For The Grog!!!

Well Grog I hope you enjoyed your special day. I know that I did.

Yeah, but cleo, being the proud Canadian you are (and I am) do you have their album as those loveable hose heads?

I wasn’t aware Moranis retired. That is sad.

That’s even better, LuvH8!

Thanks cleo! I did. And once again, Thanks, Thom and EVERYONE else for making this such a special day!

Grog, no I don’t have the album. Rick Moranis wanted to be a good dad so he retired to spend time with his kids. That doesn’t mean he won’t come back out later. We hope. Grog you are a good guy, I am glad your day was good as well.

Congrats, Grog, and an early ‘hello’ for C & H!

Thanks, Marg!

Congratulations, Grog!

Thom, anything you draw is great with me!

I only just saw this. Belated congratuations, Grog.

Thanks, WoodEye, shytimes2 and Johanan!

I looked much like Stein this morning.

I also did not get this until Monday but hooray for Grog!

Thom, I’m with everyone else–whatever you decide to draw is fine with me!

Thanks lin4869.
