Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for January 16, 2015

Unless magic burns calories and tones muscles, you’ll need to do some manual work every now and then.

But if you’re an old guy who shouldn’t shovel snow, magic would really come in handy…

Signed: every wizard ever.

Of course! (Could the Wiz be going on those orange pills they were distributing in Woodstock ??)

Just enchant a broom and get it to carry the snow away in buckets, or has that already been done?

I think Henry could defrost it in a heart attack (I mean beat).

He has a Dragon, just melt the awful white stuff. I’d pay to have it all melt away and warm the heck up.

The ghoul could probably help too.

The Wiz lived before the internal combustion engine, but in our day and age a gasoline powered snow blower is pretty close to magic, at least for us muggles.

I bet Harry Potter doesn’t shovel snow.

Oh, sure, if you want to do it the “easy” way…

Sir Rodney could also write: I have artillery and a fire-breathing dragon that I can use against the Huns…

in response to all the comments from a couple of days ago

My dirt driveway is several hundred feet long. I bought a mid-sized tractor to remove snow & then we hit a long term drought. Sigh… I compensate by moving sand in my arroyo. :-))

Are you trying to throw the snow to the Moon with that thing?!

This was a good strip today

Yes that would be true of so many stories concerning the Wiz.

“The use of Magic takes energy too”.So use magic to create a geothermal magic generator.Of for that matter, a direct matter to magical energy generator.

And yet he’s still not using magic to write that out…
