Dear Party People,

This is the end, my friend. You may have noticed our neglect of Blobbyfarm.com since, oh, around April of 2006. At that time we moved (again), started new jobs, and just got busy. As we got more and more entrenched in our new lives, we found that there were a number of other things that trumped Blobbies in our lives - curating exhibitions, teaching, getting ready for our first child (woo-hoo!), locksmithing classes, frosting graffiti, etc. Blobbies fell by the wayside.

We recently received an email from our domain registrar notifying us that the URL Blobbyfarm.com expires on October 5th. We have made the decision to just let it go. Blobbyfarm.com will no longer exist. Sure, we’ll make a few Blobby related items for our new baby (we just got a silkscreener after all), and we can make a Blobby every now and again for our friends and family members. But as far as the general public is concerned, Blobby Farm is extinct.

We sincerely appreciate all the support we’ve received and friends we’ve made because of this goofy endeavor. As a final thank you, between now and October 5th, you can purchase anything on the Blobbyfarm.com website for 50% off the original price (sale price is as marked). It’s not like we were ever really in this for the money anyway. Make sure you download your coloring book pages and send your last Blob-E-Grams before October 5th when everything disappears.

Thanks again and we’ll catch you on the flip side.

Thanks and Cheers,
Maria and Chris

Lord and Lady Skewampus stumbled upon death when their automobile swerved into the tar pits off Highway 5 in rural Newbraska just after 2:00 p.m., December 1, 2006. Lady Skewampus was known for her je ne sais quoi, esprit d’accord, and coup de pied aux fesses. Lord Skewampus was known for his indavertant insults and an acute penchant for licorice whips. But, it was the couple’s love of swerving their car uncontrollably around the road that led to their demise. They leave behind no children, but a legacy of destroyed mailboxes, nearly missed pedestrians, and bent rims.

Services will be held at noon on Tuesday, December 5, at the Bittles and Hurt funeral home on Main street in Newbraska. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that trees be planted along the roadside to replace the ones felled by the Skewampus’s wild rides.

Tom Selleck, Jr., 13 months, left this world for Robin Masters’ Heavenly Estate on December 12, 2005. Born November 11, 2004, Tom, Jr. was one of the first Blobbies, Jr. to be made and will always hold a special place in our hearts. Now, our “Quigley Up Above” can partake of infinite jelly donuts at the King Kamehameha Club in the sky. He is survived by Mr. Man, Jr., Loaf, and the Smelnors. However, he will not be alone in the sweet hereafter. Tom will be joining the gangrenous career of his “Three Men and a Little Lady” co-star, Steve Guttenberg, in the graveyard of the stars. With many tears and a tip of the Detroit Tigers cap we bid adieu to Tom Selleck, Jr. - Blobby pioneer.

Services will be held Wednesday, December 14, at the Bittles and Hurt funeral home on Main street in Newbraska. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the Foundation for Understuffed Blobbies, Jr. (FUB, Jr.).

The police force, headed by Urban Defender, is investigating the circumstances surrounding Mr. Selleck, Jr.’s death. Any information regarding the whereabouts of Black Bon Eye, who is wanted for questioning, may be directed to the Urban Defender’s office.
