Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for February 05, 2012

I don’t remember Errol Flynn calling, “Cut!! I gotta visit the loo!”

Is that Spook’s uncle Rodney’s swordfighting?

Rodney looks like he already soiled his armor.

Rod’s looking very dynamic today! Ruined just a tad by that last comment maybe… But dynamic all the same ;)

Not necessarily.

I really think Rodney means he wants to take a powder.

Most important part of the strip was that Rodney was actually fighting and not losing

This is the type of situation where one can figure out the answer to the question of what a Scotsman wears under his kilt.

Maybe Rodney means to use gun powder on the hun.

Nothing worse than rusty armor.

I think Rodney want to snort some more coke.

…thrust, thrust… parry… GOOD!

A wee bit o lipstick under his kilt? Kinky.

jumping over sword wielding barbarian is not so smart, a newtwist on the phrase ’losing your marbles" comes to mind…..

A powder room is a ‘bathroom’ with no bath tub or shower. Just a toilet and sink.

Do “Men In Tights”..get the trots because of the tights?

If Rodney Is a girl, then I gess Mrs. Peacock Is a man.

Hun: You are using Bonetti’s Defense against me, ah? Rodney: I thought it fitting considering the rocky terrain. Hun: Naturally, you must suspect me to attack with Capa Ferro? Rodney: Naturally… but I find that Thibault cancels out Capa Ferro. Don’t you? Hun: Unless the enemy has studied his Agrippa… which I have.

(with apologies to the Princes Bride)

gotta whiz…

This being an actual warrior’s problem, Morgan Llewellyn plays on it – at least twice – in her novel BARD.

As I understand it, Sir Basil Rathbone was actually a very proficient swordsman so it would no doubt have galled him to have to lose those duels with Errol Flynn.
