Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for June 15, 2021

Hi, Wizard. Would you like a swift knee in the nether region?

Dad jokes.

My nephew for about a year said “Time for a new fence” when ever someone asked about the time. It become an in family joke that he now regrets.

I don’t know about a ‘kid’. But the Wiz could do a passable billy-goat I would think.

Yeah, him. He’s the “kid”.

Yeah, his name’s Henry (speaking of which, it’s been a while since we’ve seen him)!

Dad would say, “Oh. I thought you were Tentoes. Better off hungry. You can get over that.”

can,t be much of a wizard to have a wife like that

Oy! To make it up to her, zap her favorite dinner quick!

Awh that book brings back memories. Does anybody else remember when I was in school circa the 1970’s when books , particularly paperbacks had white pages with the book open but when you closed the book the edges of the paper was all yellow? You don’t see that anymore. apparently the book printers are so miserly these days they try reducing costs by not spending money on the yellow paint.

Dad jokes aren’t reserved for dads. I play them often at my employment. lol

You laugh about this now, banana nose. But wait’ll you see the Visa card bill.

The so-called in term is Netherlands, not nether region.

If he does, he might not even be aware of it.

Well, a good meal will cure my problem. Sadly, yours has no cure.

“YOU GOT A KID SOMEWHERE I DON’T KNOW ABOUT?”

(does not understand this dialogue)

Yeah, Blanch. You never heard of the “inner child”?! :D

The Wiz is like a 200 year old 10 year old! (But that’s why he’s one of my favorite comic characters after Pearls’ Pig.)

My dad worked in the advertising department of the local newspaper. One day an angry woman came in to complain about her ad. Dad didn’t have the account, but he was the first person she saw. She marched up to his desk and announced “I’m livid!”. His response was “I’m Tom. Nice to meet you.” She didn’t see the humor in that.

just do not call me “late for supper”

I know this only because I watched a try not to laugh ASDF.

Don’t quit the day job Wiz.

I don’t get it.

I don’t get it.

Quite a difference between the way Blanche is drawn now and 50 years ago. See today’s classic strip.

Why would she be asking about young goats? Total non-sequitur.
