Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for November 25, 2011

I wonder how many shoppers have been trampledso far?

(Dark humor) So far Verne is delighted — wouldn’t it be kindest to leave him that way?

I’d be stayin’ off the streets entirely (even on the bus) if I didn’t absolutely have to go out there tomorrow (I need to pick up some calibrating solution for an electronic meter).Cute, Chief Thom Thom!

This one is so much easier to draw when you’re loaded with tryptophan.Speedy recovery, Thom.

If I do any shopping at all, it’ll be online shopping. I’m going nowhere near the mauls.

There are no faces!!.Never go shopping on Black Friday! Nothing calls to me that strongly in order to fight ANY store!

I just went back and read yesterday’s comments……have you ever seen a Cartoonist who shares in so many ways with his/her readers? You all have to read Thom’s comments. What a caring person he is!!!!!.Our So. Cal. 3 made it up safely yesterday afternoon. They had great driving weather the whole way up! Montana Daughter and Boyfriend are planning some shopping up here……no sales tax! And Montana Daughter 2 is planning on skiing today at the Great Divide Ski place where lift tickets are 20.00 a day until Sunday. Woo Hoo!

the eyes have it! Thom is great!

That’s because it’s midnight Vern.

There’s no escaping the INSANITY.

Saw your comments last night Thom. Thank you.

If I do any shopping today, it will be online. Somebody already got shot out in CA (where else?) coming out of a WalMart (where else?)

That has to be Garfield on the right!

No faces? What about that face in the upper right corner—the black-on-black? Or the black cat in the coal bin by Thom’s signature??.

OK, I’m reaching! Too much post-feast napping yesterday.

Montana Lady …. Thom has very cleverly hidden a face in todays ‘toon. …. the 0’s in no and so are the eyes and the u in the word turn is the smiley mouth. 0 0 u.Thom’s mama has ever right to be special proud of her wonderful son!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thom is one of the good guys. He talks to his readers, and listens to ’em!

I wonder if Verne is talking to Ernest P. Worrell…

Are light bulbs on sale?

Did some shopping online wednesday and got some really good deals. No need to fight the crowds!

i needed a new crock pot as mine died on thanksgiving eve, filled with cold beansi found one today on sale, last one, in a box that was apparently mauled by bearsand someone stole my book i was reading :(

If he thinks Black Friday is dark, he should have been around for Black Tuesday!

Thom, I knew you had a black sense of humour, but, really!

I would never go shopping on Black Friday, but it might be entertaining to ‘help’ others shop. A little surprise in this cart, one less unneeded item in that cart. Ooops! I could have sworn that was my cart. Oh well, I’ll just leave it here hopefully the right person will find it.

I did weekly groceries Friday because it is not near any stores that “DO” Friday. I placed a liquor order in my “Total Wine” because they have some great specials on Beefeater and Kalua as well as quantity discounts, bu mine is in a mall so I told them I’ll pick up on Monday (hopefully fewer shoppers in and out of main mall entrances.

@RabbitRose, I have a yet unused crock pot in the garage (bought for metal pickling) but I discovered that my immersion blender had died when I wanted to use on a baking pumpkin soup. Great flavor but hate the stringiness, need to look for something to blend better!
