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'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!

BUBBLE FOX AND TOM TURKEY: REACHING NEW HEIGHTS AND NEW LOWS!!!

We've come to it at last: THANKSGIVING WEEK!!!  I've written this weeks ahead of today's actual posting, but I know I'm excited as all get out!  Aside from my favorite holiday being tomorrow, I know that I'll also be somewhat busy setting up Comic Con Special Edition, which begins Friday!  It's scaled back compared to the regular summer show, so I probably won't get the hours I usually do setting it up, but it should still be enough that I can actually not sweat the December slowdown that's coming.  Hopefully I also won't be dragging my feet on the art front like I have the last two months and have everything queued already by the time this actually posts!  But enough about that.  Bubble and pals bloated into grotesque parade balloons isn't enough to satisfy your artistic needs today.  Y'all crave substance too, and I am gonna deliver!  So scroll down and see if Tom Turkey managed to pull off another victory this year!  Enjoy...

That wily bird always manages to stay a few steps ahead!  Billy and Dorothy might wanna switch to ham next year.  Ol' Tom Turkey clearly has their number!  But the Brat Twins and common sense are like oil and water.  After they get out of that mud and clean up, they'll likely got right back to scheming on ways to get that turkey in their bellies!  What does the future hold?  You'll have to come back next November and see!

That's a wrap on November of 2021!  But don't feel too sad.  We're kicking off our Christmas fun next week!  Is there really any better way to literally start the first day of December?  Of course not!  So come back and let the holly jolly begin!  As I've said in recent recent weeks, plenty of donation centers are open now and all looking for donations for those in need, so please help if you can!  For those heading out for Black Friday shopping, please be safe and courteous.  After more than a year of being cooped up indoors, people are more on edge than ever, so please let kindness reign supreme this weekend.  I would urge the same for those attending CCSE this weekend.  It's a smaller show and, as of this writing, isn't even sold out yet, so everybody should have plenty of elbow room this time around.  And even if we don't, just be patient and understanding and follow safety protocols.  There's no reason why can't have a fun and safe time at all functions this weekend.  Until next time, take care, stay safe, have a VERY Happy Thanksgiving and 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 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!

TOM TURKEY IN HOT AIR TERRORS, PT. 3

WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!  One week to go before Turkey Day!  So little to do and so much time!  Wait a minute, strike that, reverse it!  So yes, Thanksgiving is next week and all month long we've been celebrating with Tom Turkey, despite the fact that he's actually in a world of trouble right now!  Billy and Dorothy Brat have closed in on him and are angry, determined and inflated; as dangerous a combination as any!  Have the Puffed Problem Children FINALLY caught their meal?  Well, y'all know the only way you'll ever find out is to scroll down and see for yourselves!  Enjoy...

Youch!  That had to sting!  Imagine ripping off a bandaid and multiplying that by 12!  But that might be the least of the Brat Twins' problems right now.  The only thing holding back all that gas is now gone...  Tom Turkey may have just gotten another pardon.  Will he live to see another Thanksgiving or will the Brat Balloons FINALLY inhale their coveted meal?  The exciting conclusion is coming next week!

That's all for now, but next week is well worth a return visit, so come see how the story and November ends!  In the meantime, stay safe and help those in need in these tough times.  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY IN HOT AIR TERRORS, PT. 2

Welcome back!  Thanksgiving ain't too far off now!  Y'all excited?  I know I am!  I've even bought some bigger pants for the occasion!  I'm also in the process of hand-selecting 15 Joel-era MST3K episodes so that I can have a proper Turkey Day Marathon.  Tradition is tradition after all!  Speaking of tradition, Tom Turkey is back and continuing his battle with the Brat Twins!  The Bully Blimps were slowly closing in last time, but is Tom aware of the danger slowly floating his way?  Scroll down and see!  Enjoy...

Uh oh!  The Buoyant Babes have closed in and they don't look all too pleased with the bird responsible for their bloated figures!  Tom's never been in a scrape this tough before, and his quick mouth seems to have stalled! Does this wily poultry have any tricks left up his feathered sleeve?  Hopefully next week will yield a positive answer! 

That's all she wrote for now, but fear not!  This maniacal trio still has a little bit of fun planned for next week, so be sure to come back and check it out!  In the meantime, stay safe and think of others.  There are some in need of meals this season and every little bit helps. Take care and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY IN HOT AIR TERRORS, PT. 1

Welcome to November CRAZIES!!!  Hope y'all aren't still crashing too hard from all the Halloween candy you hopefully snagged over the weekend.  Things were a bit different this year, be we still found ways to safely celebrate a cherished holiday, and you know what?  We're gonna find a safe way to celebrate our next cherished holiday as well, because Thanksgiving is now on deck, and I'll be damned if Turkey Day doesn't get its due!

Now, it's no secret to long time readers that I am absolutely CRAZY about Thanksgiving!  The food, the family, the parades...  It's my favorite day of the year by far!  We all have our annual traditions that we look forward to come the fourth Thursday every November, and the CRAZYVERSE is no exception!  For a few years now, a certain wily gobbler has found new and creative ways to escape his would-be captors, and this year is no different!  That's right folks, Tom Turkey is back and once again ready to go to war with those vile Brat Twins, Dorothy and Billy!  Tom certainly sent the kids flying their last go around, but can he keep his hopes of surviving another Thanksgiving afloat?  Scroll down and find out!  Enjoy...

When we last left them, Tom had tricked the devious dolts into letting him inflate them like parade balloons after he convinced them their scrawny bellies were far too small to hold a bird his size.  But what goes up eventually comes down, and Tom may have gotten a little too confident after his victory.  The Twins seem to be losing altitude as some of that gas escapes!  Will Tom turn around in time or is he destined for the bellies he ironically fits into now?  Come back next week and find out!

And that's it for this first week of November.  Be sure to come back next Wednesday and see what those nasty Brat Twins have in store for Tom Turkey!  In the meantime, stay safe and do think of others as we approach the holidays.  People have fallen on harder times than ever before and every little bit helps, be it your pocket change in a Salvation Army bucket or a donation to a food bank.  Let's all get through this together.  Take care and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY'S TERRIBLY TRICKY TRIAL, PT. 4 (OH, AND HAPPY THANKSGIVING CRAZIES!!!)

THE DAY HAS COME!!!  Well, tomorrow anyway, but I can guarantee that right now I'm making my stuffing and will already have my pecan pie made for tomorrow.  It's a cramped kitchen, so some things have to be made, and scheduled, well in advance at CRAZY HQ.  Speaking of cramps, I'm sure the Brat Twins are feeling some right now.  Hard not to when you have about 50 cubic yards of helium pumped into you!

Tom Turkey's escape this year has been an epic one!  He went from sure capture to calm stalling to turning Dorothy and Billy into living blimps in an effort to be "Help" them hold more food!  As always, Tom is trying to think several steps ahead.  Usually he's having to keep an eye behind him, but on this day, his eyes turn to the skies.  Did Tommy's plan work?  You'll see very soon!  Enjoy...

And they're off!  And because these kids are dumber than a brick, they'll probably follow Tom's suggestion and keep the tape on until January; AFTER turkey season has long passed!  It seems Ol' Tom Turkey saved his neck again and found his laughing place, because he's off the menu and Dorothy and Billy are full of hot air!  His trickery has literally reached new heights!  Congrats Tom Turkey.  You got away again thanks to a "Swell" idea!

And that's a wrap on November and this terribly tricky tale!  I hope you all enjoyed it.  I was having so much fun with the art on this one, I've decided to make a whole picture book out of it with added gags and background!  Obviously, it won't be out for a while, but I'll be sure to keep everyone posted!  Next week, a new month starts and it's gonna be very merry!  So be sure to come back!  And as it is now the holiday season, I want to take this time to urge you, dear readers, to think of others at this time of year.  Food, toy and clothing donations are largely open now and it doesn't take much to make a big difference.  Take care and Happy Thanksgiving!  Have a fun and safe day with your loved ones.  Until next time, catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY'S TERRIBLY TRICKY TRIAL, PT. 3

One week to go until Turkey Day CRAZIES!!!  Got a lot of prepping to do!  Hopefully by now I will already have my cooking supplies bought and sorted.  In the meantime, I need to get my episodes selected for my own custom MST3K Turkey Day Marathon AND buy some bigger clothes!  I'll certainly need them by Thanksgiving night!  Certainly Dorothy and Billy Brat seem to know where to find some good, stretchy clothes!  Perhaps I should shop at the same store?

As we edge closer to the conclusion of our tale here, we find Ol' Tom Turkey once again at the hands of fate as the Brat Twins had him in their grubby clutches.  But Tom was able to stall them, pointing out their scrawny frames could never contain a bird as big as he!  The wheels are turning.  Did the boisterous bird find a solution?  The answer awaits down below!  Enjoy...

He did indeed find a solution!  Belly stretching is quite important if you wanna hold more food in, but I think Tommy's intentions here a little too helpful.  Those Brats could fit a few turkeys in this bloated frames now!  Provided they can open their mouths without a wave of gas blowing them away!  Tom's really got a full plate here!  Or rather, full twins!

And that's all she wrote for this week.  We'll be back next week to wrap things up and see if the Brat Twins' expansive procedure worked out for them.  Either way, I think we'll all have some big laughs over the finale, so be sure to float on by!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY'S TERRIBLY TRICKY TRIAL, PT. 2

And we're back!  As we inch closer to Thanksgiving Day, let us remember that it's the smaller things in life that we should truly be thankful for.  Things like the pencils we write with or the cups we drink out of.  And let's not forget the pants we wear that keep our legs warm and hide the embarrassingly silly novelty undies we bought because they looked funny on the rack.  Yes, there's much to be thankful for at this time of year.  Unless you're a turkey!

As we saw last week, Tom Turkey took all of a second to be cornered by the vicious Brat Twins, who wasted no time in licking their chops!  Things are already looking bleak for the portly bird.  Can this gobbler pull off another miracle this year?  Only one way to find out!  Enjoy...

Reverse psychology...  If there's any pair this would work on, it's certainly the Brat Twins!  Dorothy and Billy are formidable foes for sure, but they have one key flaw: Neither one of them are particularly bright!  Turkey's as a rule aren't either, but Tom is no ordinary turkey.  He's as clever as they get and seems to have uncovered the Brat Twins' biggest weakness.  How will he exploit it?  That's a tale for another day.  A Wednesday to be precise...

Two down, two to go!  Tom's not in the clear yet, but he's bought himself some time, and that's a huge advantage with these dumb kids!  Part three is next week and the stakes will only expand further!  So be sure to come back and give it a look!  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

TOM TURKEY'S TERRIBLY TRICKY TRIAL, PT. 1

Welcome to November CRAZIES!!!  Now that you're all starting to come down from your Halloween candy binges, it's time to start bracing ourselves for some MORE food-induced traumas, for Thanksgiving is on the horizon!  And who better to celebrate Turkey Day with than Tom Turkey himself?  Joel Hodgson?  Well, yeah, of course the creator of MST3K would totally be my go-to as well, but he ain't available, so Ol' Tommy Turkey it is!

As you know by now, poor Tom Turkey is always in high demand this time of year, and not just because of his saucy limericks about a man from Boston.  No, he's in much higher demand as a menu item, sadly, and this year is no different.  Last year, he and his friend were nearly captured by the vile Brat Twins, Dorothy and Billy, in a scam that Tom himself had caused no less!  But thankful, the "Winds" of fate were on Tom's side, and they narrowly escaped!  The Brat Twins are back though, and hungrier than ever!  Will Tom escape this year?  Scroll down and see how it all starts!  Enjoy...

Boy, it sure didn't take too long for Ol' Tom Turkey to get himself cornered by the Brat Twins!  Dorothy and Billy aren't messing around this time either!  They're poised to eat him raw!  Tommy's doing some fast talking, but will it be enough to get him out of this mess?  You'll have to come back next week and see!

That's all for today.  Be sure to come back next week and see how the second part of this four-part adventure unfolds.  Who knows what card Tom will pull from his feathered sleeve?  Until then, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

TERRIBLE TOM TURKEY: REDEEMED AND READY FOR CHRISTMAS?!?

Well folks, Turkey Day has come and gone, but an even bigger holiday is quickly approaching: Christmas!  Of course, if you've been to a Macy's or Target recently, you would've known back in August that it was.  Or if you've listened to the radio anytime since Halloween night, you would've been reminded there too!  Not even gonna get into Hallmark's policy of ignoring Halloween and Thanksgiving entirely for an extended Christmas Season!  Well, now it really is on the horizon, but Tom Turkey and Gilbert Gobbler are still celebrating their victory over the Farmer Brats.  Can anything thing bring them down?  Let's find out!  Enjoy...

Leave it to Sammy Swine to be a total buzzkill!  He's right though.  These fine feathered pals may have escaped Thanksgiving, but until New Year's Day passes, neither one is truly in the clear.  Frankly, neither is Sammy Swine.  Ham is a Christmas staple too!  Guess they'll all be looking for that bike pump soon!

And so ends the tale of Tom Turkey's 2018 escape!  Will he be back next year?  Probably.  Y'all seem to really get a kick out of this goofy bird and his antics, so why not bring him back again?  While Tom's taking his break, some holiday-themed art will be making the December rounds, so be sure to come back and check it out!  And since the holidays are upon us again, I will, as I do every year, ask all you wonderful CRAZIES to help those who are less fortunate this season.  Clothes, food and toy drives are likely open by now and even a dollar in the Salvation Army Bucket goes a long way towards helping those in need.  So please give, especially now more than ever the gift of generosity is important.  Anyway, take care and I'll catch y'all later!

TERRIBLE TOM TURKEY: JUMPING INTO ACTION!!!

Thanksgiving is here my CRAZIES!!!  Tomorrow's the big day!  The turkey!  The sides!  The Mystery Science Theater 3000 Turkey Day Marathon!  Yup, I'm all set and hopefully y'all are too!  Ya know, another big part of Thanksgiving is the Macy's Parade, complete with it's many balloons.  If you've been following along these last two weeks, you'll know that Tom Turkey turned his dear pal, Gilbert Gobbler, into a big turkey balloon in an effort to trick the farmer's family into eating Gilbert instead of him.  Well, the plan worked, but it appears ol' Tom feels guilty over his tactics.  Can he save his pal from an explosive end?  Only one way to find out!  Enjoy...

Talk about getting blown away?!?  Turns out turning Gilbert into a blimp made him the perfect weapon!  And young Billy has learned that overalls were the original parachute pants of fashion.  It's a pity Dorothy isn't heavier than him otherwise they wouldn't be three counties over right now!  The day has been saved thanks to Tom Turkey being an underhanded creep in the first place!

That's all for this week CRAZIES.  Thanksgiving fell a week early again this year folks, but we do have a nice epilogue planned for next time, so be sure to come back and give it a look.  And since the big day is tomorrow, be sure to have a fun, happy and safe day with your friends and family.  And for those braving the Black Friday crowds, be safe and be courteous.  It's easy for tempers to flare under such circumstances, but kindness can be far more effective than fists if given the chance.  Take care y'all and Happy Thanksgiving!
