Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for November 10, 2009

WOW!! Recognition of Doctor Toon yesterday and the entire Tribe today!! Thanks, Thom! You da BEST!!!

Thank you Thom - this is great!! Now all the Tribe will have big heads (not as big as Doc’s though)

Yes, recognition is so appreciated.

THANKS THOM!! I LOVE IT! You have made our TRIBE a piece of history! What a great compliment!!

Don’t ya know it! Thanks Thom!!

Thanks Thom

so we have to print out yesterdays and todays and post them in our “big top album” lol love you guys.

Thanks Thom!

I was wondering how you’d work it in, great job!

Thanks Thom. The Tribe has developed into a very good group of trusting friends and thank you very much for you gift. We, a group of comic enthusiasts couldn’t be more thrilled.

To the Tribe -

Thanks to ALL of you for all YOUR support of Birdbrains! It wasn’t until yesterday that I realized there is a core group of readers who always seem to be so supportive of my silly cartoon.

YOU ALL DESERVE RECOGNITION!

Is the Doc your chief? :)

I’m glad you enjoyed the toon! Finally, I have been able to reveal the true personality of LOL.

Thom

Thank you again Thom. It is so nice to have the cartoonist interact with the readers. But to do a cartoon with the readers in mind is unheard of. We at the BT are very tight and you fit in perfectly.

Nice one again. I read every day, but don’t always post. Do love the panels though. Big Top Tribe - all chiefs and no Indians.

let me add my thanks to the rest of my fellow Tribe folk. those yappy nuts accepted me a few months back, and i’m glad to be considered one of them. this strip is now on my list of “reads.” (but it’s because it’s funny, not because you’ve mentioned friends in it.)

I believe Joy is our chief!

(some one hide me now, cuz she’s gonna kill me!)

Hail to Joy!!

With two good flippers and all!! LOL

THANK YOU THOM!!!

This is SO cool.

I think the election is coming up for Chief.

cleo and I enjoy stogies, so I think that big smoke cloud at the top must be ours.

This is going on on the wall for sure!!

AAARRRRRRRRRR, Joy, me darlin’!! Thar ye be, causin’ trouble like always!! Aye, Thom, ‘tis a GOOD thing ye give these Yappy Nuts a bit o’ recognition!! Celebration party aboard th’ Black Raven fer all th’ scurvy Tribe & Thom, too!!

Joy, I thought you had both them flippers in good working order. Must have been the rum fogging what little memory I have left! LOL

Wolfangil bought me a shirt that says “INSTANT PIRATE- JUST ADD RUM”! Thought I’d try it and see of it works. LOL

A Howling Wolf-Pirate

eldest should be chief, Joy. of course, others would argue that feistiest should be chief, Dry i prefer the anarchy of trying to find consensus. the Tribe respect each other and have no need for a chief. (IMHO)

Good Morning Comicaddict!

AAAAARRRRRRRRRR, Joy fer Chief!!!!

AAAAARRRRRRR, top o’ th’ mornin’ ta ya, Lonewolf!

comicaddict, celebrity status brings you ashore, I see

Only fer th’ party, lassie!!

Actually, I think we should make comicaddict the Chief!

(besides, he’s not around a lot and we can get away with all sorts of things while he’s gone! Don’t tell him I said that though!)

terry, happy now? :-P

Dry

;-)

AYE, feisty ye be, Joy, me darlin’! Ain’t nobody what knows that better’n ME!!

Then tell Terry to stop picking about my spelling! And I’ll stop with the raspberries!

i do belive our tribe has moved in over here. no wonder i cant find you all on BT.

I vote JOY but i think Doc is right. it would be like hearding cats no use. we the elders… still think im to young to be an elder but i am. hehe… anyways…. have just been together so long its crazy. good think im the youngest i cant be cheif. :0P love ya guys.

thom you have indeed found the meaning of LOL thanks

Terry now now now you can’t pick on Dry about her spelling because she is just trying to be like me. she is trying to make me feel better about it….

dry even if its a lie go with it. wink wink

Thom - I would be the one least likely to wear a loincloth. To bulky.

Cleo LOL so true

Marg or Carmy was what, 5th to start hanging out with me, Joy, Jfri and Tabby, maybe we’ll make one of them chief! (Leave the room you get elected! :-D)

DF has the BEST puns. I’m still laughing about yesterday’s Clem-in-Time!!!

haha smart move DRY

I too agree with Doc!

BTW Tabby, I never pick on Dry!

I just laugh WITH her! LOL

Terry i think we ALL laugh WITH her.

I too think leading us is futile.We have done pretty well without a chief. I think what’s chief for us is conversation and friendship.

Your very wise Cleo!

And I should have added comics the main reason that we are all here.

yes very wise and true.

HA*, you can’t make me chief, because I’m already a VP in the Rock club, and you can’t hold two offices at the same time! *HA!

Thanks, Thom, this was fun!

(Hey I tried!)

(((Hi Marg)))

hi marg nice cover i guess that means its gonna be Carmy

Doesn’t the chief change day-to-day? I thought it was whoever was bringing breakfast.

Saucy i didnt think of that one. good point

Saucy - That thought occurred to me as well. LOL

We’re good the way we are! All messed up and loving it!!

I don’t want to be Chief, but I would like a tomahawk.

(Edited so I wouldn’t offend anyone.)

I’m getting tired of jumping back and forth ya’all!

Thank you Thom!

TRIBE - I say we vote Thom an honarary Chief- Chief Blue Birdbrains!

What do you say?

Thom I enjoy your comic, and the tribute to the Tribe and DoctorT is great. Come on over to the Big Top. There’s a huge karma bank for when you get a writer’s block snicker

Shika I like the idea of an honorary Chief. That way we can listen to the wisdom and follow it or ignore it! Thom I add my thanks for the recognition of the Tribe but as you can see, I think you’ve opened Pandora’s box.

Sounds good, Shika!

Wait, what about “Chief Thom Thom”?

Carmy perfect.

I love Chief Thom Thom

Carmy, you are scaring me. The machete is bad enough, and now you want a tomahawk?

Carmy–That is perfect!

And I agree, too many weapons girl!

Here, Carmy, take this tomahawk as a token of my esteem!

Carmy is going crazy. loveing it!!

Shika how’da get so smart?

Terry i think it was you, i to am getting tired of jumping back and forth i have two pages open. :D so cheeating i know. you are all just upset bc i thought of it first. :0P

Can I just keep the tomahawk as a souvenir ?

You don’t want my esteem??

Sorry JFri, I will take your esteem. Thank you kindly!

Grab that tomahawk from Carmy, NOW!!!

Tabby, I too have multiple tabs open. 10 to be exact!! LOL

Tabby, I am downloading songs as I post!

Who gave Carmy a tomahawk anyway? Oh yea, I might have known! You do know she’s been sipping egg nog all night, right?

My collection of “sharp” items is growing!

What the heck is that little squiggle, JFri?

Run for the hills, Carmy now has a collection of sharp objects! “I’m a scared! Help me!”

That would be the infinity symbol!!

Thom you can see that some of this group need help…serious help. :-)

So what, you’re raspberrying me into infinity? Thanks TURD!!

Cleo, you shouldn’t talk about yourself that way! We don’t think you need help, not just yet anyway!

Hey Thom, Do you regret this yet? LOL!

Refer to my last comment.

Two pages, how could Thom regret it?

Cleo, we are beyond help!

Terry - No…years of in depth psycho analysis may help some. The others alas, have beds with their names permanently embossed in genuine gold colored ink on charts at the foot of their beds.

Cleo, I think I may be one of the latter……………………….LOL

Terry - Well…….

That’s cuz I like being close to you and the rest of the Tribe! LOL

Bingo!!

Well since I am the only one still checking this…………………….

Good Morning & Happy Veteran’s Day!
