Birdbrains by Thom Bluemel for December 01, 2011

I’d hate to see that puppy when he grows up.

Did somebody just flip Slasher the bird?

Well I think little birdie will be safe from Slasher….at least!!!!!!

Always did love this one, Thom. One of my all-yime favorites.

Well there go all of his nine lives.

By the looks of his teeth, Curiosity has already killed something.

Over in the WWE, he’s known as “The Cure”.

I was just saying good morning with a little pat on the head, heh heh…. says Slasher.

Uh … that’s curious. Curiosity supposedly killed the cat, and now we know how!

Also, my dear friend DRY … 24 sleeps till Christmas!

Love Curiosity’s arm tattoo—or is it a color-spot on his coat?

Somehow I don’t remember this one even if it’s been here before. But here’s a comment that probably couldn’t have been made before: When does Curiosity arrive on Mars?

That said, I’ll point out a couple of faces I see. The spot that’s literally under Curiosity’s ear is a face profile with a bulbous nose. And there’s an unhappy sideways face between Slasher’s outstretched arm and head.Puppy, heh!

Are you absolutely positive?

Curiosity needs to be chained up. He’s someone you don’t want to mess with!

Fellow Baby oh gee, hope I didn’t lose anything. I better go check!

Still there, but I wish they would have at least 10 comics to a page like they used to in my favorites collections. Sure makes a lot of paper waste when I want to print them out for my scrapbooks.

Fellow baby, I wish I could by a print. That way I wouldn’t have to worry whether it’s in my favorites.

Next, Curiosity, meet Slasher Cat’s nine cousins (Lives): Lion, Tiger, Jaguar, Leopard, Puma, Cheetah, Lynx, Sylvester, and Garfield!

Thanks Thom…how do you keep coming up with new ideas?

To All My Readers -I apologize for not having posted a cartoon the last couple of days. We have been ravaged by winds in Southern California that were probably meant for Florida or some other hurricane-enjoying clime and it’s knocked out power, email and good spirits. I’m using a friend’s computer to send this message.The good news is now we think we’re in Kansas!!Anyway, please bear with me on this.Thom

Not to worry, Thom. Stay safe.

we got 70 + mph winds out here in new mexico, so i get it – hope everything, like your house and car are still there

Hey! Where did my “Birdbrains” creater go? I love this cartoon I pass it along everyday, except for the last 2days? Come back Please….. and Happy Hollidays. Stacy

Dejavu today

I was just wondering what was going on here! Thanks Thom for letting us know, and like everyone else has said before me, Stay Safe!

Please let us know what’s going on. Vacation, Holiday? You’re too great a comic-strip writer, to just leave like this. Please acknowledge .Sincerley Stacy

Hi All,

I’m baaaaack… Power’s on – Finally. Seems like every tree in the city is down or broken, but we are all fine. No one hurt. I truly appreciate your patience during this “ordeal.” When something like this happens, it’s a great reminder that we are not in total control – except in the cartoons.

And thanks for reading this blown away cartoon!

Thom
