Reading (Minos) is good for you

strip #172 STAY IN SCHOOL




A slap in the face to all those who blog about our adorable minotaur being illiterate. He obviously can read!!! In fact Minos is a BIG reader (remember this for a Trivia!) the problem is he truly knows the meaning of very few words... 80% of them are related to potty! Some nouns, some adjectives that compliment potty, and I believe he also knows the "Question Mark"! Can YOUR cow do that?

So this update brings the END OF OUR CONTEST! The winners of the 261.44$ (before taxes) jackpot are..... .... NOBODY! That is because nobody took a decent guess to what this machine was. Of course we cannot blame our mediocre art-style, maybe if you people were more into books (like Minos) you would have a well-informed 261.44$ guess! Now we are FORCED to use this money on ourselves :( It will be a very sad day at the Dumb Bum Studios when our new coffee machine arrives! The old one was very slow, and a definite fire-hazard! It required our constant supervision.... How will we lose time with a performing coffee machine???? We'll have to be creative!

The next comic will be posted according to the performance of the coffee-maker... Haven't received it yet, but we are calling it: "Dr. Missingscrews".

Read for some very moooooosome fun!!!

strip #171 PRIVATE ACHY BREAKY




We move on with Minos, leaving an Alien behind that will lie there for torturous centuries before Spielberg finds him and hears tons of cash registers sounds inside his genius head. Too bad we couldn't capitalize on him, for we had him first. We couldn't keep him because he was oddly dressed for antiquity...

What a title!!! Do you know how many title ideas we go through before making up our mind? We reject tons before we get a keeper, so start enjoying them!

PAM PAM PAM PAAAAAAMM: ANNOUNCEMENT!
Now pay attention because I'll type this only once! (yes you can read it many times, what do I care) YOU CAN WIN SOMETHING! How you ask? Simply I answer, by looking at today's comic VERY carefully and answering one simple question: What is this new device Minos found? Does it look familiar? If so, email us what you think it is at dumbbum@mail.com, and IF you have it right: YOU'RE A WINNER!!! The gift could be truly amazing for we have a budget of 300$, YES Canadian funds; you have heard about the ducks, the beavers, the bears: now you can see them! Our money is INFESTED with them! So furry fans wipe that awkward saliva, you won't be sent ACTUAL money... We'll buy something for the winners!

So if ONLY 1 person gets it right, you'll get an AMAZING gift valued at 261.44$! (That will be before taxes) Of course if they are multiple winners the "jackpot" will be split. You'll get a less expensive treasure but you will be filled with warmth and joy, because your webcomic brothers and sisters got something too. Sharing is valued since the beginning of time. (I assume)

So Guess it by the next update to win something LEGENDARY (Not Hercules, I have 300$ People! His Toga is worth more than that...)

Minos ain't so Jolly...weird

strip #170 CENTAUR ROCKS




We interrupt the painful cliffhanger for a Christmas Special Strip. Christmas is focused around the joys of sharing, and allowing aliens to heal their groins! This strip does both justice.

Of course if we delay all our regular comics, it is natural to delay our Holiday special too. We have a theory: Before Christmas all our fans are running around neurotic for last minute preparations. They are in NO CONDITION to appreciate our festive effort! That is only 1 strip a year! We can't just waste it. We also have a theory explaining why cowboy hats sell in urban areas... maybe if you are nice, one day I'll explain.

The Dumb Bum crew, in its cosmopolitan aspirations, discovered that in some places of the world Christmas hasn't arrived yet! We urge those fans to read this comic in three weeks or so, when they'll calm down from their turkey feasting!

This comic can also be enjoyed at any time by Buddhists, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Atheists, Mormons, Quakers and Tele-tubies too! Just use your thumb to hide the word "Christmas" and this joke is good for all, bringing ALL of humanity together at last! And you are left with an extra spare thumb to hide whatever else stops you from enjoying this comic.
