Watching TV with my toddler tonight, I realised that the Boing Ball is doing other work:

The Ball features prominently in #29.  But I do find the title of #35 disturbing.  It's "Tombliboo Ooo Drinks Everyone Else's Pinky Ponk Juice"  I think I remember that from some party in the '70s...

:huh:

I've got an original suggestion for a name, how about:

"Boing!"

Hmm, more surreal 70's imagery I'm afraid from the UK.
