Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for January 10, 2021

That’s cheating the system!

Something like what I need to do. Due to circumstances in my life. I am going to have to say “Goodbye”. I will come in here every once in a while. Mostly to read the strips. Maybe give an up-vote here and there. But I will have to be more of background noise. Enjoy.

Ah…got it, Wiz!

Did he not get a dragon license?

He’s a dark Wizard, if push comes to shove, he should turn the animal control officer into a frog, and problem solved.

What? In the medieval ages?

Them were taxing times…

The first two panels reminds me of a letter in the National Lampoon:

Sirs:

He clasps the crag with crooked hands;

Close to the earth in lonely lands,

Ringed with the azure world, he stands.

The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;

He watches from the mountain walls,

And like a thunderbolt, he farts.

—Al Tennyson

Well I’d say that’s pretty good control!

Ol’ Stanley would get steamed if he saw the dragon off his leash. The fines for a loose dragon must be significant and you KNOW the King will collect.

That strip works even better in German, since we use the same word for kite and dragon.

Stoooo- pid animal control officer…quit dragon your arse!

Love a dragon

Mighty small string for a kite that big……

Now we know the REAL power in the Kingdom of Id.

What if Kris Steen Stanley there is heading toward Sesame Street’s drummer section? Why have a waxing moon AND a waning moon in the fat black dress design other than to confuse Polaris seekers?

Um, yeah…her and what army are going to take the dragon in?

I’m pretty sure those are imaginary. Medieval Animal Control Officers.

The King has a large tax on anyone keeping a Dragon as a pet.

Hmmm………

I want to see him control that.

Be careful Henry doesn’t belch fire
