Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for December 13, 2020

Somewhere in there… I would have aimed for Stew, Dried, or Canned.

Take away the whiskers, and the fish salesman almost looks like Blanche.

And my response to the frog’s comment is, “You don’t.”

Underwear only get dirty if you wear them.

Welcome to 2020…

The top two panels- ROFL!!

The scales on the balance of his retail ability leaves one wondering how he will fin-ish the day and pay for is spot in the fish-market.

At our minor league baseball park, the solitary vendor would come through in the first three innings , calling “cold BEER!” In the middle three, it was “cool BEER!” In the last three, it was “BEER!” I never was there for a game that went into extra innings, but I always wondered if it would be “warm BEER!”

Poor fish monger had to sleep hungry for the townsfolk had all suddenly decided to become vegans.

Face it. It’s not selling no matter what you call it.

Somehow you can smell this comic!! belch

There is an expression in the food business, “Sell it or smell it”.

The cycle of life.

A play on the old saws about politics and guests who are still visiting after 3 days

Never eat at a sushi restaurant that is next door to a bait shop.

Near where I grew up, there were two adjacent shops. One was a sushi restaurant, one sold bait. Honest.

Roflmao! I suppose anything ground level gets a view of Mother Nature…./// can you just imagine the smell from the composted fish? Ewwwww

Underwear is believed to have been invented in the 13th century. Before that, we had loincloths. In warmer climates the loincloth was often the only clothing worn. But mostly by men, to prevent damage to, low hanging fruit.

How can he stand that close to it?

My refrigerator…

Looks like the frog in the second panel is fresh bait.

Nice marketing. Poor selling, but nice marketing.

Too much info in the morning frog.

An apt segue.. from the lack of underwear to fish.

Fish ,,, and houseguests

One of the down sides to entrepreneurship.

southern frogs – what would we do without them in comic strips

chum

They did: they were called braies. They were typically made of linen, tucked into the hosen and generally had a drawstring closure. Usually a bit longer than the average boxer short today, often going just past mid-thigh, although some variants were more like “tighty whiteys” only “blousier”. Then there was the codpiece… Speaking of rotten fish…well, let’s not and just say that they were popular among those being treated for a particularly foul STD.

Wow poor guy.

Nothing goes to waste. It could end up as Spook’s dinner tomorrow

Too bad.
