…Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man…

Tinsational

Give him an umbrella too, although tin doesn’t rust, so…

Just don’t celebrate by running through the sprinklers.

fear no rain!

Do you want tough? Or do you want “oleum”? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgWraZBTuA0

He used to be satisfied with just “Oil Can”.

With the high cost of Oil theses days they decided this was a better alternative.

Poor Bleeb’s in an awkward position. If Lion passes gas that’ll be the end of him.

What, no motor oil?

WD40

Tin doesn’t rust….

They also chipped in for a dip in the molten zinc tank which really galvanized him!

Take him down to the garage for a jiffy lube job.

I’ve had great success using Evap-o-rust and Boeing’s Rust Free. Removed rust from an old railroad spike, and turned it into a bottle opener.

Well, it appears they want to keep the tin man lubed up. Not a bourbon in the bunch though.

Aawwwwwww YOU GUYS!

What about a six pack of 3in1?

Take a bottle of that to Monty in today’s strip – his robot pal is going to need it.

“That’s my friends for ya!

Ya ask for a HEART…

… ya get rust butter!”

Tin Man: What, no ties?

Funny!

“Birth” day?

Someone should have gotten him a case of WD 40….

May you forever clank…

When he dies, they will say “Rust in peace”.

Aw, cmon guys, have a heart. :)

Used to work with a guy who had some very serious braces on his teeth, we called him “The Tin Man”

Thanks guys, you’re all heart.

And time hasn’t treated Dorothy well.

Slip him some Naval Jelly

" What an original present. I only have 100 cans of this already."

No rust for the weary.

What? No navel jelly?

Get Robbie. He knows all about oil jobs.
