TOM TURKEY: CRAZIES DAY HERO!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  IT'S HERE!!!  THANKSGIVING IS FINALLY HERE!!!  So darn excited for the return of my favorite holiday!  There's so much to do, so much to prep!  It's funny to say because as I write this, we're still five days away from Halloween.  But I know that when this actually posts, I'll be up to my elbows in cornbread stuffing and pie dough!  It's a lot of work for sure, and I'm certain a lot of you are probably busy prepping for tomorrow as well, so why don't we just jump into today's toon and call it a week, sound good?  Great!  Enjoy...

All's well that ends well!  Tom Turkey survives for another year and Billy and Dorothy Brat are no longer flattened!  They also now have bodies that are as inflated as their egos and are the leading "Floats" in this year's CRAZIES Day Parade!  And you all probably thought Ol' Tommy wouldn't help them.  For shame!

And so ends another tricky tail of Tom Turkey.  Next year will likely be the final edition as I'm just plain running out of things to do with these guys.  That isn't to say they can't come back in the future if something else pops up!  Ultimately, I'd like to collect these all in a volume as a bit of a graphic novel/picture book hybrid.  It's high time Thanksgiving FINALLY get some multimedia respect with the other holidays! Until next year, google on Tom Turkey!

Well, that's a wrap on November, but never fear!  You know we got some holiday fun brewing up for Christmas, so be sure to come back next week and help us kick off December properly! I would also like to remind you, dear readers, again to please think of those less fortunate this holiday season.  It doesn't take much to help others in these dire times.  Please donate to food, clothing and toy drives if you can.  Even a quarter in a Salvation Army Bucket can make a difference.  Giving is a gift in its own right and the more we share, the better we can be.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and have a very happy, fun and safe Thanksgiving!  Oh, and may fate smile kindly upon you on Black Friday!

TOM TURKEY: TO THE RESCUE!!!

We are back CRAZIES!!!  One week to go before the big day!  Well, one week and a day, but if you're like me, you're probably gonna be starting some of your cooking early.  What can I say?  Thanksgiving week, time really is a luxury in my kitchen!  But now's not the time for that.  Now is the time for comedy!  Cartoon comedy!  And we have an especially high dose of that today!  Don't believe me?  Then scroll down and look!  Enjoy...

Boy, those poor Brat Twins sure look depressed.  Or is is that compressed?  Either way, good Ol' Tom Turkey is there to help them and I'm sure his plan is very uplifting!  Be sure to come back next week and see how it all wraps up!

Well, one week left in November, but fear not!  We're ending the month on a high note and sending you into Turkey Day with a belly full of laughs, so be sure to come back and check it out! I would like to remind you, dear readers, again to please think of those less fortunate this holiday season.  It doesn't take much to help others in these dire times.  Please donate to food, clothing and toy drives as they open.  Even a quarter in a Salvation Army Bucket can make a difference.  Giving is a gift in its own right and the more we share, the better we can be.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY: A SMASHING REVELATION!!!

Back again CRAZIES and halfway to Turkey Day!  I don't know about y'all, but I already have a good selection of Joel-Era episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000 picked out for my own custom Turkey Day Marathon!  It was one of my favorite parts of childhood before Comedy Central ended it.  Thank God for DVD!  Anyhoo, I'm sure y'all are more interested in seeing if Tom Turkey will escape the Brat Twins' latest trap!  Granted, it's not their most elaborate attempt to capture the wily bird, but those two are completely out of their minds, and sometimes, that's dangerous enough!  Don't believe me?  Scroll down and see for yourself!  Enjoy...

How did Tom Turkey escape this time?  Through sheer dumb luck!  Seriously, he wasn't even trying to evade the boulder nor was he even aware that it was coming!  Can't say I blame him.  Kennedy Half Dollars are pretty rare these days! (Based off the good Kennedy, not the insane one!)  Of course, that boulder's gotta land somewhere, and it's trajectory doesn't look particularly promising for Billy and Dorothy...

Ooh boy...  Talk about leaving an impression?!?  Looks like it's the Brat Twins that got flattened out!  Who'd have thought that rather benign dead tree in the background of the first page would have so much give?  AND torque?!?  Have the Brat Twins FINALLY met their match or will they have a Plan Z waiting for Tom Turkey?  Come back next week and find out!

Well, two weeks down, two more to go as we march towards Thanksgiving, but don't sweat! we still got more fun with Tom Turkey and the Brat Twins coming up, so stay TOONED!!!  I would like to remind you, dear readers, again to please think of those less fortunate this holiday season.  It doesn't take much to help others in these dire times.  Please donate to food, clothing and toy drives as they open.  Even a quarter in a Salvation Army Bucket can make a difference.  Giving is a gift in its own right and the more we share, the better we can be.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY AND THE PATH TO OBLIVION!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  November is here and I am excited!  Now, I know some of you are bummed about Halloween being over and I don't blame you.  It's a fun holiday with lots of candy and costumes, not to mention some of the best theme park events the whole year!  I miss it just typing it, and as I write this, it ain't even Halloween yet!  Of course, on the flip side of that, if Halloween doesn't pass, then we can't get to any of the other fun holidays coming up, and that would just be madness!  So here we are in November and what's on deck now?  Why, only my favorite holiday of them all: THANKSGIVING!!!  If you're new around these parts it's no secret that Turkey Reigns supreme here at CRAZY HQ.  From the parades, the food, the sporting events and especially the MST3K Turkey Day Marathon, I love it all about this holiday!  It's nearly impossible to hate!

Of course, if you're a turkey, your opinion of Thanksgiving might be a bit different.  Especially if two psychotic 3rd graders are constantly trying to make you their main course!  That's right folks, Tom Turkey is back again for another go around with those rotten Brat Twins!  What vicious plans do those Terrible Tykes have in store for the old bird this time?  Scroll down and see for yourself!  Enjoy...

Well well, those two certainly aren't wasting anytime!  The Twins are clearly more hinged than ever!  Although Billy is right, Dorothy wants more than food now.  She's thirsting for revenge and will stop at nothing to get it!  Can Tom Turkey dodge another proverbial bullet or will the Brat Twins be making sandwiches of his pressed remains?  Come back next week and find out!

That's it for this first week of November, but fear not!  More silly cartoon slapstick is coming your way next week, so stay TOONED!!!  And as we are now officially entering the holiday season, I would like to remind you, dear readers, to please think of those less fortunate this season.  Times are tough, easily the worst I've ever seen in my lifetime.  Many people are hoping for their miracle and with a little help, they can get them.  Please donate to food, clothing and toy drives as they open.  Even a quarter in a Salvation Army Bucket can make a difference.  Giving is a gift in its own right and the more we share, the better we can be.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY AND THE SWEET SMELL OF VICTORY!!!

 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING CRAZIES!!!  I'll keep it short today as y'all are no doubt already prepping.  I know I am! (Today is stuffing and pie day traditionally!) So let's dive on in and see if Tom Turkey's plan worked this year, shall we?  Enjoy...

Welp, looks like Billy and Dorothy did in fact meet their new friend in that cave, and as expected, he delivered a smelly greeting from the dark chasm!  Turns out Tom's Cackle Corner only makes HIM cackle! And he certainly has reason to!  But what of the Brat Twins?  Well...

...They are certainly feeling it.  They should be thankful Tom ain't a rabbit!  For those wondering why Tom ain't running away, well, he doesn't really need to.  The Brats know when they are defeated.  Plus, I've had two dogs that were spayed by a skunk.  They had no energy at all for days after, and those pooches were a boxer and pitbull, nothing BUT energy!  Tom can merely stroll away while Billy and Dorothy look for a bathtub!  (Contrary to popular belief, tomato juice has ZERO effect on skunk smell.  A solution of vinegar and dish soap helps with the initial smell as it is somewhat oil-based while dusting the affected areas with baby powder also helps absorb the skunk spray.  It just takes time to wear off.)

And so ends another tale of that Tricky Tom Turkey!  Will he be back next year?  Hard to say really.  As much as I have enjoyed coming up with these tales, it's getting tougher.  You can only do so much with a turkey and two incredibly dumb kids.  The Looney Tunes school of gags only goes so far folks!  But it would be nice to tie up any loose ends with these characters, so we'll see.

And with that, we close the book on November 2024!  Don't be too sad though.  The holiday y'all are REALLY looking forward too is already underway having usurped the throne of the turkey ages ago,  but next week it becomes more official as we kick off our CRAZY Christmas celebration, so be sure to come back and check it out!  In the meantime have a safe and happy Thanksgiving and please be mindful if you're braving the Black Friday shopping crowds.  No gift is worth getting hurt over!  And while you are out, donate to any of food/clothing/toy drives currently open!  Spread kindness in this rude world when you can!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and Happy Thanksgiving! 

TOM TURKEY AND THE CACKLING QUEST FOR FREEDOM!!!

ONE!!!  ONE WEEK TO GO!!!  I'm already doing a lot of Turkey Day prep work, including buying my supplies for the big day itself and watching unearthly levels of Mystery Science Theater 3000 so I can be ready come eight days from now!  You know who's also making preparations?  O'l Tom Turkey!  But those preparations might actually be funeral arrangements as the Brat Twins finally caught him!  But there was a glimmer of hope last week as Tom finally seems to have spotted his Cackle Corner!  Is the wily old bird gonna get his final chuckle or will Billy and Dorothy have the last laugh?  For the answer, you'll have to scroll down and see for yourself!  Enjoy...

Well, Ol' Tom's certainly cackling!  Maybe he really did find his Cackle Corner?  Billy and Dorothy certainly seem interested, but will they really buy it?

If you've been following along these last few years, you'd know by now that the Brat Twins have a combined IQ lower than an Amish electricity bill!  They're making a beeline for that cave and a smelly new pal just waiting to greet them!  How will it all end?  Come back next week for the grand finale!

And now dear CRAZIES, the moment you've all been waiting for!  Presenting this year's "Float" for the CRAZIES Day Parade!  Enjoy...

Pepper flies high above the CRAZY streets as his pals Lollipop, Picpak and Sunny follow behind!  With 2024 being the Year Of The Dragon, Pepper volunteered himself to be this year's float and he did not disappoint!  Also, it was a chance for him to fly, so of course he was eager to loon up!  The parade itself is an annual art collective that takes place on what's left of Twitter tomorrow as well as BlueSky, a place I'll likely be hanging out at more often in the coming year unless karma quits dragging its feet on Voldemusk!  Be sure to give it a look with the hashtag #CRAZIESDayParade!

Well, one week to go with Tom Turkey, the Brat Twins and Thanksgiving in general, but that's still a whole week away, so be sure to come back next Wednesday and give it a look!  Be sure to think of others this holiday season and donate to local food/clothing/toy drives.  Be a beacon of kindness and light as these dark times hopefully start to dissipate.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY AND THE SEARCH FOR THE CACKLE CORNER!!!

We are back and halfway to Thanksgiving already!  Time seems to move faster when you're older.  Moves especially faster after you hit 40!  But there's no time for that now!  Tom Turkey is in trouble!  DEEP trouble!  Billy and Dorothy, the Brat Twins, have finally caught their prize poultry, but in a surprise act of humanity, have allowed him to go to his Cackle Corner one last time to enjoy a good laugh.  Will Tom go out on a happy note?  Scroll down to get the answer!  Enjoy...

Well, they're out for a stroll, but so far no Cackle Corner.  I'm starting to think the Cackle Corner is something he made up to buy himself some time!  Perhaps that bee might know?  They certainly know a thing or two about places of laughter!

Or, perhaps Ol' Tom Turkey just spotted exactly where his Cackle Corner just might be!  And it looks like he's not the only one aware of it!  Will Tom Turkey get the last laugh?  You'll have to come back next week and see!

Well, another week down as we march towards Turkey Day, but we have a BIG post ready for next week as the CRAZY faithful get the very first look at this year's CRAZIES Day Parade entry, along with the continuing tale of that Tricky Tom Turkey!  So be sure to come back and check it out!  As I mentioned last week, holiday donation centers have begun to open up, so please think of those less fortunate and donate.  A little bit of kindness goes a long way.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY IS BACK!!! AND HIS GOOSE IS... COOKED?!?

Welcome to November CRAZIES!!!  And y'all know what that means right?  Christmas is next month?!?  NO!!!  I mean, yes, it is, but aren't you forgetting something first?  That's right folks, THANKSGIVING IS HERE!!!  My favorite holiday of the year is coming up and I'm already eagerly prepping for the big meal!  But that is still a few weeks away.  We are in the here and now and right now, an old pal has come back and is ready to tell his most harrowing tale yet!  That's right dear readers, Ol' Tom Turkey is back and boy is he in for it now!  Don't believe me?  Scroll down and see for yourself!  Enjoy...

What the?!?  Tom Turkey's been caught?!?  This can't be?  He's ALWAYS five steps ahead of those dastardly Brat Twins!  How could this have happened?  Wait, maybe this is just a dream or something?  I'm sure the next page will solve everything...

...Or maybe it won't, but hey!  At least Billy and Dorothy are somewhat merciful in letting Tom have a last request.  Given his history of quick thinking, most folks would've just done him in already.  Will Tom get to enjoy his Cackle Corner one last time before heading to the dinner table?  You'll have to come back next week and see!

Well, that's it for Week 1 of November as we go on an extended ride with Tom Turkey and the Brat Twins!  Be sure to come back next week and see how the story unfolds!  In the meant time, with the holidays rapidly approaching, Food Banks, clothing and toy donation centers are starting to pop up again so please consider donating this year.  Not everybody is as fortunate as others and every little bit helps.  Through kindness, we can heal our world.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY: BLASTING OFF TO ANOTHER TURKEY DAY!!!

Welcome back CRAZIES!!!  WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOO HOO HOO!!!  We've reached it!  We've finally reached TURKEY DAY!!!  So excited for a nice big feast tomorrow, though I'm likely up to my elbows in cornbread dressing right now (It's an all-day process folks!) while also starting my own personal MST3K Turkey Day marathon of all Joel episodes!  But enough about that.  We've already seen our first parade balloon of the season, so why not see how things turned out for Tom Turkey and the Brat Twins?  Enjoy...

As predicted, the Brat Twins fart bags went KABOOM after Tom Turkey threw a lit match into the hen house!  When they eventually land, will the Billy and Dorothy Brat FINALLY learn their lesson and quit trying to eat Tom Turkey?  Probably not, but it really all depends on whether or not I come up with another idea to keep the story going, so who knows?  I guess we'll find out next year!

And that's a wrap on another chapter of the Tricky Tales Of Tom Turkey!  I hope you enjoyed it, despite the really lowbrow nature of the Brat Twins' plan.  Hopefully they'll all be back next year for more cartoony fun!  Next week, we'll kick off holidays the right way with every kid's Christmas wish!  Until then, take care, stay healthy and have a very happy and safe Thanksgiving!  And for those braving the Black Friday crowds... Heaven help you!  Catch h y'all later!

TOM TURKEY, LIGHTING THE WAY!!!

We are back CRAZIES!!!  Only one week to go before we gorge ourselves on the feast honoring an incredibly stupid bird!  But that's neither here nor there.  As excited as I am for the Turkey Day feast, I have responsibilities to my audience that may or may not exist, so it's time for some art!

First up, tomorrow, on what's left of Twitter, Jennifer Cuthbert and I will be host the 3rd Annual CRAZIES Day Parade!  It's a lively and fun event that has inspired several other holiday-themed events throughout the year!  This one is pretty simple: Inflate your original characters into hilarious parade balloons and post them on Twitter!  (I absolutely refuse to call it by it's new name. Piss off Elon!)  This year, Clover gets the "Honors' of being pumped up beyond her limits and floated high above the cartoon streets, with Picpak Dog and Sunny the Vampire floating off in the distance!  After the way she bossed everyone around at last year's parade, Clover's promotion seemed very fitting!  I hope you, the CRAZY faithful, enjoyed this first look at this year's float before it posts on Twitter tomorrow and eventually BlueSky afterwards!  And now...  

The Brat Twins plan to launch chemical warfare upon one Thomas J. Turkey, Esq.  Granted, the chemicals are home-brewed, but those are some of the worst!  Tom, however, has spotted them and their fart bags.  Does the wily turkey have a plan?  Scroll down and see!  Enjoy...

A lit match in small quarters where bags containing enormous quantities of methane gas are being released...  There's pretty much only one direction where this can go.  Will Tom Turkey make it out of the blast zone in time?  Come back next week and see how it all ends!

Well, one week to go before Thanksgiving!  But don't worry, we are gonna have a LOT of fun on the eve of Turkey Day, including the finale of this year's Tom Turkey Tale!  So be sure to come back and have some fun with all your CRAZY pals!  Until then, take care, stay safe, donate to a food/toy/clothing shelter this season and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY AND THE BRAT TWINS... FULL OF MORE GAS THAN THAN CONGRESS!!!

We are back CRAZIES, and inching closer to Turkey Day!  But that's something we will just have to keep waiting patiently for, though, admittedly, I've likely already bought my supplies for Thanksgiving night.  I prefer not to dilly dally on that because, well, you ever made a mad dash to a South San Diego grocery store Thanksgiving morning because your fudge didn't turn out?  Believe me, it ain't a pretty sight!  But enough about that!  It's time for some art!

Last week, the Brat Twins were loaded up on gas-inducing foods and trapping their farts in bags.  What are those nasty naughty knuckleheads planning?  Scroll down and see!  Enjoy...

Oh my.  This is vile even by THEIR standards!  Hotboxing an already foul environment is just plain overkill!  Then again, they've suffered a lot at the hands of Ol' Tom Turkey, so maybe their foul attack on the fowl is justified?  Two wrongs don't typically make a right, and it looks like that tricky turkey is already on to the little terrors' scheme.  Also, who knew Tom Turkey had a law degree?  Can our hero pop the Brat Twins fart bags before getting gassed out himself, or is he doomed to be sniffing air biscuits all night?  Come back next week and see!

Another week down as we get closer to the big day, but we got plenty of fun in store until then, so be sure to come back next week and see if Tom Turkey can pull one over on the Brat Twins again!  In the mean time, take care, stay safe, donate to a local, food, toy or clothing drive and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY RETURNS!!! AND IT'S A "GAS!!!"

Welcome to November CRAZIES!!!  Hard to believe a few hours ago we were all reveling in the Halloween spirit.  But now, the time has come to honor a tried and true main course: TURKEY!!!  That's right CRAZIES, my favorite holiday of the year is back!  THANKSGIVING, or Turkey Day if you're Mystie like me!  Boy oh boy and I can already feel my arteries clogging just thinking about it all!  But, we still got a few weeks to go before the big day comes, so we'll just have to be patient and tie ourselves over with some art!

That wily old trotter, Tom Turkey, is back!  He's been doing a solid job of avoiding the Brat Twins' dinner table for four years now.  Does he have the gumption to make it five?  Scroll down and see how it all starts!  Enjoy...

Billy and Dorothy Brat are back and more full of hot air than usual... Quite literally!  Farting is a funny if not gross habit, but collecting their farts?  That's a whole new level of disgusting!  What on Earth could these vile tykes be planning this time?  You'll have to come back next week and see!

Well, we are now fully into the Holiday Season, which seems to start earlier every year, but it's a good feeling that leads to some good times, so be sure to come back next week and see what those dastardly Brat Twins do next!  Speaking of good things, many food, clothing and toy banks are now opening up as the holidays approach.  As I do every year, I urge you, the CRAZY faithful, to donate this season.  Every little bit helps and it really doesn't take much to make the holidays happen for those in need.  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!  

TOM TURKEY'S TWISTED TERRIBLE TWOSOME, PT. 4!!!

We've come to the big day!  THANKSGIVING IS HERE!!!  Well, it's here tomorrow actually, but believe me when I say that as of this writing, I'm likely elbow deep in cornbread stuffing right now as I prep things in advance!  It's tough when you got one oven and three other relatives who need to bake things too, hence the reason I work so far in advance.  Seriously, It isn't even Halloween yet as I type this, that's how far ahead I try (And often fail!) to be!

Since it's Wednesday, and everybody might be in need of a break right now, why not see how Tom Turkey handles those devilish Brat Twins?  He's got Billy and Dorothy caught in their own glue trap and a lot of spare time.  What is Tom gonna do?  Scroll down and see!  Enjoy...

Nothing gets your point across quicker than spanking your enemies silly with a plank of wood!  Billy and Dorothy have had nothing but a BUTT-load of trouble with Tom since day one, and now, once again, they are bringing up the REAR!!!  Perhaps next year they'll get to the BOTTOM of things and catch that rascally bird!  That or just keep flying by the SEAT of their PANTS!!!

And thus concludes this year's Tale of Tom Turkey!  I'm sure that goofy bird will be back next year and still on the run from Billy and Dorothy Brat, two really bad kids that just don't ever learn!  In the meantime, we'll be coming back next week to end November on a high note and get Christmas started the CRAZY way!  Until then, take care and be especially safe this week.  Thanksgiving is tomorrow and Black Friday's the day after.  Some people tend to take things quite far kicking off the Holiday Shopping Season, so just be careful.  And while you're out, maybe consider donating to food, clothing and toy banks this holiday season.  A lot of people need help and it doesn't take much to do it, so try to think of others.  Happy Thanksgiving and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY'S TWISTED TERRIBLE TWOSOME, PT. 3!!!

We've reached it!  The middle of November!  It's weird when there are five Wednesdays in a month, though it does make it somewhat easier as far as spacing out posts goes.  Tomorrow on Twitter, my dear friend Jennifer Cuthbert and I will be hosting the second annual CRAZIES Day Parade, a celebration of all things cartoony and loony!  To follow along, simply type in #CRAZIESDayParade in Twitter's search bar and see all the helium-filled hilarity unfold!  Since you all are so sweet and so loyal, I thought I'd let you, the CRAZYVERSE faithful, get the first look at my entry for the parade!  The above piece is playing off of the always gassy Sap O'possum, while the rest of the Bubble Fox cast try to coral the buoyant marsupial after springing another leak!  It's a mix of traditional and digital art, and pretty obvious which parts are which, but it's all good.  Digital's a great tool for sure, and as a fan of old school comics, I like that I can get a flat color look by simply using the paint bucket tool.  It's pretty much what's gonna happen when Peppertown relaunches in the near future.  But there really is something to be said about busting out actual art supplies like markers and paint and just going at it.  I urge aspiring artists and illustrators to try it all.  The more skills you pick up, the better your art will be!

And now, on to Tom Turkey and the Brat Twins!  Billy and Dorothy set a trap for Ol' Tom, but the wily bird was wise to their shenanigans and sprung a trap of his own!  Will it work, or is that funny fowl finally heading for the oven?  Scroll down and see for yourself!  Enjoy...

Nope, the Brat Twins really are that damn stupid!  And now, they are also sticky!  You'd like to think they would've known better as their father IS the farmer and likely would have mentioned the dollar-a-minute thing in front of them if it were going to happen, but as we've mentioned before, intelligence just ain't their bag!  So now the Brat Twins are caught in their own trap.  What does Tom Turkey have in store for the trapped twosome?  Come back next week and see how it all ends! 

Another week down as we head into Turkey Day itself!  Don't worry too much about overeating though because next week's Tom Turkey finale will help you laugh away the calories, so be sure to come back and check it out!  Until next time, take care, stay safe, donate to a food bank if you can and I'll catch y'all later! 

TOM TURKEY'S TWISTED TERRIBLE TWOSOME, PT. 2!!!

We are back yet again!  This is about the time of year I start mailing off any overseas Christmas cards I might have, as foreign mail delivery can take quite awhile, and start shopping for my Thanksgiving supplies.  My menu's fairly modest actually, but gathering ingredients is something I prefer not to dawdle on as anyone who's ever had to make a mad, early Thanksgiving morning dash to an open grocery store can attest to.  The Brat Twins, Billy and Dorothy, are also trying their best to get an early jump on their Turkey Day meal by leaving a trap for that ever tricky Tom Turkey.  He's got a strong record against them so far, but the Terrible Twins seem quite confident about things this year.  Will Tom get stuck in their Turkey Hen made of glue?  Scroll down and see!  Enjoy...

A dollar a minute to eat your weight in sweet corn?  That's certainly better than the dollar a minute I earn sometimes to put rock concerts together!  Much safer too!  The Brat Twins certainly seem interested in it as well!  It's obviously a trap that Tom Turkey has set for them, but the key thing to always remember about Billy and Dorothy is that they are really, REALLY dumb.  After all, who else would be tricked multiple times by a turkey, nature's D student?  We got two traps sprung here, but only will work.  Whose is it?  You'll just have to dangle like the Glue Hen's eye a little while longer to find out, or roughly seven days!

And that's all she wrote for this week, but fear not!  We are halfway through this timeless tale of a battle between halfwits and the next couple of editions will really stick!  So be sure to come back next week and check it out!  In the meantime, take care, stay safe and please donate to a food bank this holiday season.  It doesn't take much.  Until next time, I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY'S TWISTED TERRIBLE TWOSOME, PT. 1

Welcome to November CRAZIES!!!  October certainly ended on a weird note.  Now's probably a good time to clean about this.  I had Covid.  Despite all the precautions, it finally got me.  But you know what?  I felt kinda crappy for a few days and then slowly started getting better.  I have ZERO doubt in my mind that the reason it felt more like a cold than pneumonia is because I was vaccinated, though I haven't gotten the most recent booster yet.  Work's been insanely busy and my age group only just recently got approved for it, so timing really was everything in this case.  You can bet your asses though that I'll be getting it as soon as I'm cleared for it and I highly urge you, dear readers, to get your boosters too if you're able to!  They work.  Flat and simple.  I can actually attest to it.  And that concludes the preachy portion of today's post.  Now, on to the fun!

As previously stated, November is here, and you know what that means...  The start of Christmas overkill?  Well, yes, there is that.  But it's also time for my favorite Holiday, Thanksgiving!  Food!  Parades!  Turning leaves!  Hot cider!  The MST3K Turkey Day Marathon!  I love it all!  But there'll be time to celebrate all of that in the coming weeks, as we also must celebrate the return of that Feisty Fowl, Tom Turkey!  Yup, he's back again and still on the run from those pesky Brat Twins!  He left them wallowing in the mud the last time we saw him, but they've cleaned up and seem more determined than ever to get their prized meal in their bellies!  What nefarious plan do they have in store for Ol' Tom this time around?  Scroll down and find out!  Enjoy...

A turkey made of glue?  Really runny glue at that?  I don't think Ol' Tom Turkey's gonna fall for this, even if he hadn't overheard the Brat Twins' plan.  The Wiffle ball eyes are kind of a dead giveaway!  Tom clearly has a plan of his own, but will it be enough to fool Billy and Dorothy?  You'll have to come back next week and see!

That's all for this week, but what a great start, eh?  We'll be coming back next Wednesday to see how this battle of wills plays out between children and beast!  In the meantime, do take care, stay safe and get boosted!  Also, as it is that time of year again, perhaps consider donating to a local food bank this holiday season.  It doesn't take much to help those in need.  Until next time, I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY: FASTER AND MORE FURIOUS!!!

Hello CRAZIES!!!  One week!  We are ONE WEEK away from Turkey Day, aka, Thanksgiving!  But, as excitement mounts, I must remember that preparations are underway not just for the holiday, but also for the coming of Comic Con Special Edition!  After more than two years, I'm finally gonna get to go to a major Comic Con again!  It's not gonna be as big as the regular summer show, probably more akin to WonderCon in Anaheim, but it should still be fun and could be a big thing for San Diego if it takes off, especially for stagehands like myself who don't get much work during the last five to six weeks of the year.  But more on that next time.  Right now, our focus is on Tom Turkey and his battle with the Terrible Tykes!  Last week, Tom exposed Billy and Dorothy's weak spots to the world, along with their unmentionables!  Has Mr. Main Course gone too far?  Scroll down and find out!  Enjoy...

Well, he has certainly got their attention now!  Tom seems pretty confident, but humans as a rule tend to be faster than turkeys!  The Brat Twins have been after this prized poultry for three years now and finally seem to have him within their grubby grasps!  Could Ol' Tom Turkey finally be heading to the dinner table?  Come back next week for the potentially messy conclusion of the current chapter!

That's all we have for this week, but be sure to come back next time as we conclude Tom Turkey's latest adventures as well as send November off on a VERY high note with Bubble Fox and pals!  In the meantime, be sure to give to those in need this holiday season as donation centers are now open!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY: SCARING THE PANTS OFF BULLIES LEFT AND RIGHT!!!

We are back CRAZY faithful!  The countdown to Thanksgiving is on at 15 days and counting!  I'm currently stretching all of my clothes out to allow for maximum capacity come dinner time on the night of Turkey Day itself!  But enough about that.  You clearly came to see what Tom Turkey's gonna do next and I intend to deliver!  So scroll down as we move on to the appetizer course now that everyone has arrived and taken off their coats!  Enjoy...

Huh...  And all this time I thought that getting your pants scared off was just and expression!  The Brat Twins' pants weren't only scared off, they were scared stiff even!  This is why you gotta go easy on the starch in your laundry!  Dorothy and Billy were looking for revenge, but Ol' Tom Turkey found them first!  Are the Brats about to get bopped or has this wily bird gobbled up more than he can waddle?  We will find out next week!

And that's it for this week, but fear not!  More Tom Turkey tomfoolery is coming up next time, so be sure to stop by and take a look!  In the meantime, please donate to needy causes this holiday season.  Food, toys and clothes are greatly appreciated and help more than you can imagine!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY IS BACK!!! GOBBLE GOBBLE!!!

Welcome to November my CRAZIES!!!  Boy what a difference a year makes!  Things weren't looking too good this time last year, and while we still got a ways to go, much progress has been made in this battle against the virus.  Fingers crossed that the good news keeps coming!

As many long time readers can attest, I am absolutely FANATICAL about Thanksgiving!  The food, the family, the parade, the MST3K Marathon... I love it all!  Turkey Day has long been my favorite holiday, though most of society treats it as "Gift-less Christmas" these days.  But here at the CRAZYVERSE, we treat this holiday with the utmost respect that it truly deserves, and starting this week, we have yet another exclusive tale starring that angry bird, Tom Turkey!  Those Brat Twins are back and looking for even more revenge after Tom first turned them into child dirigibles and followed that up by turning them in child projectiles!  The war is far from over as we catch up with the turkey and giblets!  Enjoy...

Well, Billy and Dorothy are back to normal size after spending an extended period of time inflated beyond belief.  And those once scrawny bellies of theirs can probably handle a bird as big as Ol' Tom is now that they've been stretched!  Tom doesn't seem too concerned.  What ace does he have up his feathered sleeve?  We'll have to come back next week and see!

That's all for today folks, but the story's just getting started!  Be sure to come back next week and see what Ol' Tom Turkey stirs up next!  In the meantime do take care and maybe think of others as the holiday season approaches.  Many shelters, food banks and toy drives are already open and looking for donations and every little bit helps.  Even some loose change in the Salvation Army bucket makes a big difference, so give today!  Until next time, take care, stay safe and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY IN HOT AIR TERRORS, PT. 4

WOOHOO!!!  Tomorrow is THE day!  Turkey!  Stuffing!  Potatoes!  Pie!  I know it'll be different from what we are used to, but a good meal is still always a welcome thing regardless of what's going on!  And honestly, how can I be sad when I got +30 hours of MST3K at my disposal?  So yeah, some things may be different this year, but a few things thankfully remain intact.

You know what else remains intact?  The never-ending battle between bird and kids that is Tom Turkey and the Brat Twins!  Last week, Tom pulled the tape from their bulging faces after the Buoyant Bullies finally caught him.  Are Tom's days numbered?  Let's all scroll down and find out together!  What?  You think I actually know happens in advance?  I'm as in the dark as you are!  Enjoy...

And they're off!  Ol' Tom is always a step or two ahead of his enemies, and with the amount of helium he pumped into Billy and Dorothy, he'll likely be MANY steps ahead of those kids, depending on where they land!  But THAT, my friends, is a story for another day!

And that is a wrap on Tom Turkey's latest escape and on NOVEMBER 2020!  Hope y'all enjoyed this year's tale.  It's always fun coming up with gags for a turkey that's actually smart!  What does the future hold for Ol' Tom?  We'll find out next November!  And next week, Christmas comes to the CRAZYVERSE, so stay "Tooned!"  In the meantime, have a fun, happy and SAFE Thanksgiving.  This is a time where we all need to be cautious folks, so please take the necessary steps to ensure that a wonderful and safe experience can happen.  And do donate to a local food bank.  Every little bit helps.  Until next time, take care and I'll catch y'all later!
