Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for January 13, 2011

I wondered what happened to Bullwinkle.

Awwww, Thom, I love my Mooses!!!!

Ummmm……….

Hi Y’all -

Well, something’s different today. This is a panel from a real estate themed cartoon I did in the early 2000’s called “Broker Deeds.”

This cartoon featured two characters: Grant Deeds, the real estate broker who was incompetently successful and his faithful sidekick, Mort Gage, who constantly doubted his “boss’s” judgment.

This cartoon was posted for Doc, who goes back a way with me… well, seems like it’s been over ten years now… right, Doc? (Couldn’t find any of the old “Words of Wisdumb” panels, though. Sorry).

Broker Deeds is now obsolete, but I hope you enjoy him as much as he enjoyed swindling all his customers.

And thank you for reading this trite and true cartoon,

Thom

Thanks Thom!

It kind of reminds me of the opening theme of “Northern Exposure” where the moose wanders into Cicely, Alaska and looks from building to building, each one with moose antlers mounted over the door.

FACES! I see faces! THOM has made me break my New Year’s Resolution Doctor please Some more of these Outside the door She took four more What a drag it is getting old.

Hey Thom - How fast were they going when they hit that wall?

Thanks Thom. Good to see some of your work from the earlier days.

Good Morning, Fellow Birdbrains

Cool, Thom!

Nice to see how your drawing style has evolved too.

I like your drawing styles, thom

You’ll never get that date with Pam Anderson now, Thom. You may even become her Peta project.

I’m glad there isn’t one up there with a cat’s rear end and some cow parts on a plaque. That would be udder catastrophe.

Nice one, Thom, although those to somehow remind me of Lenny and Squiggy.

Oh,…. oh deer, it’s time for me to get outta here…. now!!

Thom, your cartooning style has changed a lot since this one ran.

Hmmmm……… uh…

Interesting to see where you’ve come from Thom. I only started reading Birdbrains in I think May of last year, so this ‘blast from the past’ is nice.

I thought it was the moosic room.

Mr. Deeds is NOT clear on the concept!

I don’t see any extra faces. Luckily, I also don’t see a squirrel in a flying cap.

Hi, Thom,

It’s really cool to see your “style” 10 years ago! Didn’t know about your “Past”. Thanks for keeping us informed! It’s great to see the evolution!

Thank you Thom, it’s nice to learn more behind the toon!

I award DIGITAL FROG the first prise for a witty response today….

@ Digital Frog Really now!!!

I’m glad I started reading this strip again. I used to read it once in awhile, but now I never miss it.

….. it really is a nice family room…….but…… ummm……

Do you think we could leave the family here and look at a house without a family room?

Thom your drawing style has evolved, but I love the artwork in this one very much!

Thanks for all the kind comments! Truly, I have the best readers in the world!!

I’m posting one more Broker Deeds tomorrow, just for the heck of it. Most of them were done in black and white because they ran in newspapers for a while.

I’ll soon be back to the usual Birdbrains stuff. Thanks for putting up with my little indulgence.

Thom

P.S. And thanks for reading this unscrupulous cartoon…

So is the moose now going to say, “You mess with my whole family and you mess with me!”…?
