Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for September 03, 2019

Awwwww….

Who could resist Goodnight Moon?

Ahh, child. This is Shel Silverstein’s birthday month. Let us be thankful we had him, albeit for too short a time.

It gets boring in the dungeon. Just don’t read him any stories in which a character says “The King is fink!”

Reading the Giving Tree, while in the custody of the Stealing Fink is an excellent definition of “Irony”

That’s a wonderful book by an incredible author. And a pretty controversial one too.

Is the Spook sitting on Turnkey’s lap?!

Awwww, a moment of friendship….

I know I read that one when I was little. I just do not remember it.

Where is my cow?

Co-dependent.

Aww! <3

I never understood that story. A tree is is taken advantage of, mutilated, and murdered, and it’s happy?

I suppose after a few decades you get used to anything.

nice Silverstein shout-out

Shawshank Redemption might be helpful.

Could also use Silverstein’s photo in the book to scare the little tykes into submission.

I thought he’d wanna hear Papillon.

Well, not that that’s a bad book, but it certainly isn’t soothing…

For anyone interested in books in a similar situation..

When you have a warm lap to read a story why not?

Turnkey’s mother instincts are still intact.
