Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for November 14, 2009

Where’s the update Thom? That’s the first time I had this happen. You can post but there is no toon strip to be found!! LOL

I can even favorite it!! LOL

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

Lonewolf and patpel777-

I posted, but it’s a no show. Sometimes, I use invisible ink… maybe I used too much. Seriously, even the system says it’s updated. I have no clue. I posted another one, so maybe it will update later.

Maybe the cartoon just got scared…???

Sorry…

Thom

That’s OK Thom.

You’re an honest a goodness Ghost Writer/Cartoonist!! LOL

I’ve got a blank cartoon strip for my favorites page. How cool is that?

Thom

That’s weird. On my profile page it shows the strip with the vulture and the smily faces as a recent favorite, but on the favorites page that one is blank like here. Go figure.

We’ll see later in the AM. G’Night all!

Who knows: The Shadow do!

Thom Did you use blank verse?

as a temp work around go to more and select print comic.

Happy hunting ;)

I will not be denied my comic no matter what the computer might think.

Must be the censors got to it!

Thom one thing that does stick out about using the more/print option is that the comic is much more pixelated than normal, maybe your save/upload prefs got tweaked.

At least there’s nothing one could criticize about it …

Maybe he drew it in lemon juice and we have to apply heat to see it.

Nah- bad idea. stupid electronic “paper”.

This is why we don’t give most computers legs - tell them to go jump off a cliff and they would.

Uh, Tribe, the tribute is still continuing! If you click on the tag “The TRIBE” (or the other tags), you’ll see the cartoon. “Happy Hunting Ground”, indeed - a reference to Indians if there ever was one. Thanks, Thom!

(Psst! I’d be fascinated to learn what you could do with a charioteer. That’s what rakkav means in biblical Hebrew. Hate to bait you, but it’s the only way I’ll ever find out…)

I have it in my email! I know what it is!

♫♫♪♫♪♫♪♪♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♪♫♫♪♫♪♫♪

Nothing about Indians! Nothing about the Tribe today, sorry guys!

Thom, those little yellow things do get to be SO ANNOYING! Do you know how much fun I’m having here teasing everybody! :-D

Speak for yourself Doc! LOL!

Dry–I had it on my “home page” just after the turnover. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Doc–Does seem familiar. For all of us!

This is probably setting a record for most comments on a blank screen. Maybe it was my nudity yesterday. LOL

Dry I can just HEAR you taunting us. ROFLMAO!

cleo you are probably right. Somebody closed the window so no one would have to see the neckid man.

Just a bunch of Wal-mart guys today. :-)

Standing in the shadows

Rats! I’ll come back later then.

All I can say is this just PROVES how much more important the reader is than the cartoonist! Even without a cartoon, this has to be one of my funniest ever… wait, maybe I’d make funnier cartoons if they were all blank…

Hmmm…

Really sorry, gang.

Thom

Thom I’m fine! LOL!

Very funny and timely. I only go to Walmart like once a year or two, and I went yesterday.

thanks to KingRat for the link that allowed me to see this strip. Thom if you want to go blank, you might try an empty panel with the caption, “insert pun here.” just a thought…

Yes those little smiley faces. We see bald eagles nearly every day. Now I know what they are after. LOL

thanks KingRat.

Did you say you were drawing a blank today Thom?

Dear D Frog. It’s blank verse. Well, it couldn’t be much “verse” than it is. Four PM and still no pictures.

Sandflea is right. Put Birdbrains in the “Find a comic” spot

and voila. Or is that viola? (Tommy Smothers)

The coments are probably funnier than the strip would have been.

DF this is what it looks like when Thom draws a blank:

King Rat -

Wow, what a memory! That time I did it on purpose. I wasn’t even sure if I should have signed it. This time, well…

klinkerlrb -

You are correct - the commenst are ALWAYS funnier than my stupid cartoon!

Thom

KingRat I had completely forgotten that strip . You are right on top of things today. Thom, I do not remember, did I ever see a stupid cartoon by you?

Thom my memory isn’t that good its just that you do an awesome job of tagging your own comics. (tagged blank)

Looks like they’re in a pack, man. Or maybe they’re attending Emoti-Con. After the tabloids get tired of furries, they’ll go after ‘moties.

cleo -

ALL my cartoons are stupid. That’s why I named it Birdbrains. Too late, I learned that birds actually have brains - and use them.

KingRat - Are you calling me a “tagger?” (By the way, wasn’t “King Rat” a great movie?!)

Coyoty - Emoti-Con! Excellent! By the way, do Coyotes ever get cooties - coyote cooties?

Thom

Using copy paste as HTML source and then using a find/replace on http I calculate that Thom has 1531 tags. You better watch out for the police graffiti division.

Interesting thing you will never need to know: Graffito is the singular form of Graffiti

Thom,

If you insult yourself one more time as a cartoonist and a humorist I’m going to update my knowledge of computer programming, create the worst computer virus in history and infect your computer with it by remote control. All out of spite.

So there. Nyahh. :P ;)

You tell him Johanan! LOL

What he said Chief Thom Thom!

Thom im going to have to say i agree with Johanan i may not have been reading this comic as long as all the rest but is been on and off for almost a year now and now im reading it every day, may be late like i am today, but every day. and I think you are great. you remeind me of me and thats not good, always putting yourself down. you have a great talent you do amazing work. dont put yourself down, bring yourself up rise up man rise up. smile and know you have an amzing talent.

Hi all sorry im late as late can be.

James Clavell wrote a novel about his experiences as a prisoner of war, which was King Rat. My cousin is very close to his two daughters and our* KingRat* has been very much of a life saver here today.

Cooties are a social disease. Coyotes are antisocial so we’re immune.

Well, what do you know…the strip is visible at last! :)
