Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for April 15, 2011

Flagellum of the worm that bit?

What’s one more worm to your misery?

Lew…….I see two faces in the dirt…………………maybe you won’t need your meds tonight….???

That cancels the worm’s fishing trip this weekend.

Want to get away?

Ah ain’t seein no steenkin faces. I’m off to the VA to replace the meds my cat stole, or my psychotic significant other.

When birds get worms, do they drag their tail feathers across my just cleaned carpet?

The early worm gets the bird. I better start sleeping later

Angels With Dirt Faces, Montana Lady?

The feathers on the bottom edge of the near wing fade in and out as a series of bird faces for me.

I prefer MY worms to be of gelatin, artificial flavour, and Red #3, Blue #2, and “natural” colours.

Mornin’ Tribal Members.

Thom, nicely drawn bird! Love the way you worked hands into the wings. I’ve noticed that doves act as if they had hands (attacking with wings-not the beak as other birds do). Birds fight over the food I give them, and I love to watch.

Perhaps some Mezcal as an appropriate beverage.

That’s what he gets for being the early worm.

Very nice artwork Tom.

If he had a case of worms, he wouldn’t need the wild ones.

How many worms are in a case anyway?

There are 12 worms to a case of mescal…….☻

He’s been on a diet of worms for the last 490 years.

Turned green, yet?

Of course, he’d have been protesting all the way…

But if he’d been there, runar, he might have gotten nailed to a door.

The Diet of Worms begat the Protestant reformation…. Thom has shown us the very beginning of that movement.

Birdbrainac Alert!

Hello to the Tribe and others. You may have noticed the last couple days’ cartoons looking somewhat different than my usual. I’ve been foisting some of my older work on you. These are cartoons never posted here, so they’re not really repeats, but they are different. As a result, there are not nearly as many “hidden” things in the art. I’ve been very concerned that Lew may be getting overdosed, so in a brave act of compassion, I’ve eased up on hidden artifacts, like faces… however, that will change when he least expects it. Muhahahahaha.

Anyway, just wanted to touch bases with the BEST READERS IN ALL OF COMICDOM!

And thank you all again for reading this dull, if not strange, cartoon.

Thom

Thank you fearless leader! Old or new, your talented creations are bright spot in a lot of our days.

So good to hear from our Supreme Leader! How many artists respond to their readership??? We are honored to have you as our “Friend”!

Treachery, they are all against me, especiallyTHOM. But little do these evil ones know I have a magic eraser to make the entire world faceless. Muhahahaha yourself, THOM!

And yet people are still seeing faces, Thom. either they’re just seeing what they want to see or they’re on some real good drugs (I’ll have what they’re having.)

Hang in there, Sir Lew, we are all with you!

Once again………………………Thank you, Thom!

Well I’m sorry Thom, BUT I SEE 2 FACES! One on the worm and one on the bird! :-D

You can’t fool me Thom! I know what you’re up to!

looks like the worm’s coming out of one of the face’s mouth

also,saw a hawk go after a pigeon,miss and get dope slapped by his mate

(Yikes!)

Fellow Baby, I’ll have what you’re having!

Muahahaha yourself, Thom! I think it’s possible you were including faces in your comics even when you think you weren’t. That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it!

Birdbrainiacs Ahoy!

Just so you know, I said “eased up,” not “erased up” the extras. I’ve always put “stuff” in my cartoons, though not in every one (most, though). Usually, if there is a texture, there’s a… well… you find ‘em.

Thanks again to all of you!! I do have the best readers of all!

Muhahahahaaaaa!
