Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for September 26, 2011

But you sure can freeze to death.

Soon you will be a chip in the old ice block.

Is he the twin brother of the guy playing the banjo on the front porch of ‘Deliverance’?

I think the guy who played the banjo in Deliverance was a kid about 9 years old. Please correct me if Im wrong.

How is a river on the fritz???

I see faces!!!

Hopefully you can get out of there before someone fixes it.

I see London, icy Franz…

^ I see faces on the planzthe pine treesAnd in the snow.

I don’t think Franz is with us anymore!

The ’toon is after he grew up. A couple of years before he was on the porch his parents got a divorce. Family reunions were a little tense after that even though his parents were still first cousins.

Okay, no one has found the faces in the reflections! On “Dum Dum’s” reflection, his right shoulder, there is a snout of a collie, and on his chest reflection, there is a larger face with big hair…..reminding me of some kind of rock star. Sorry, gang, that’s the best I can do.

The wise old men on the mountaintops are watching out for Franz and friend.

please don’t remind me that winter’s coming.

For some a day without Thom’s faces is like a day without sunshine…..

They remind me of the two explorers on the Platte River in the novel and movie: Centinnial.

The non-swimmer in the red hat isn’t going to freeze. With the hat he looks like a fire hydrant, so every dog for miles around is going to come by and spray him with warm water.

@John ClaytonMy cousin in Canada has a season where the sun don’t shine….. I’ll stay here in Florida where have two seasons, Tourist & Skeeter.
