That’ll do it.

Maybe the tomb is too small for the mummy

The mummy would be happier if she was in her own tomb.

I want my Mummy! She’s been upstairs for 10 years now!

he lost his money in a pyramid scheme

Eh last time me saw mummy was surfing the waves with Heathcliff.

Without Wi-Fi, he’s feeling a bit constrained……

Angry AND hangry

Not wrapped quite so tight….

Just terrible. Tortured, cursed, buried alive with flesh eating scarabs and no Wi-Fi. No wonder The Mummy is angry.

There was an angry mummy in a comic strip which I detailed on Red and Rover some years ago. The strip was “Spookum School” on the back page of a UK comic called Buzz. It was a ghostly version of another Buzz comic strip called “Skookum School”. “Skookum School” was set in Skookum School during the day and “Spookum School” was set in Skookum School during the night.

The “Spookum School” strip began with the ghostly children and their ghostly master outside Skookum School and seeing a sign which read, “Skookum School – Closed For Repairs”. The teacher took the ghosts on a museum trip instead. Towards the end of the strip, one of the ghostly children looked scared and said, “Mummy!” The teacher replied, “You’re too big a boy to want your mummy.” They then saw an angry mummy who was saying, “This is MY haunting spot.” The last panel showed a new sign outside Skookum School. This one said, “Spookum School – Closed For Repairs To Pupils And Teacher”.

When I outlined this on Red and Rover, someone commented, “Sounds a cute cartoon.”

his mummy hurts

he’s got a mummy ache

No, mummies are just not morning people!

oh, the horror… :i

No WiFi !!! AIEEEEEEEEEE…. Ahhh! Screeeech!

I thought it was because the kids hadn’t visited lately.

The mummy is angry because it was cleaned out by a Tomb Raider.

Or maybe he lost his phone and he’s angry about it.

No Wi-Fi! No peace!

“NO WI-FI”

(senses a modern perspective in this cartoon)

No lasagna?

How’s he supposed to post his selfies for all his followers?

“How will I watch The Mummy Returns with access to Netflix? WHY DIDN’T MY MINIONS THINK OF THIS?!”

Okay, That’s a wrap…..

Yeah, that would make me angry, too. How am I supposed to read the comics?

A mummy using wi-fi sounds like something that would make a good comedy.

He’s all wrapped up in himself.

My first reaction was that Garfield was saying HE had no wi-fi which is why he was watching such a lousy old movie. Curious how each of our perceptions and interpretations can differ so much. I am sure the true intent was, indeed, as all the rest of you saw it immediately. I am just a bit slow on the uptake sometime.

Boris Karloff or Arnold Vosloo?

Some magazine in 1997 published a one-drawing cartoon consisting of ancient hyroglyphics on a cave wall; in the lower right corner it said .

There was not wi-fi when Boris Karloff existed.

The cable TV went south last night, thank goodness for wifi and my Roku stick but there was nothing good there to watch either, so I went to my Kindle, almost done with the current book because of that, I read until 2 am lol

No Wi-Fi, can’t order pizza. :-(

oh no no wifi:(

And no delivery services available

The mummy would be happy if it had Garfield’s life.

See the strips from 7/18-21/1988.
