Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for July 06, 2021

Did he say he wanted to make it hurt less?

I thought the first two panels showed Henry.

Isn’t that why medical providers tell you step-by-step as they administer an injection?

Wiz: “Knowledge is power, use it well” :D

Explanations can be more painful than the injury.

This is what Cnidarians do and this is why they do it. It’s not the jellyfish’s fault for what happened: the jellyfish did not attack Rodney – he touched the tentacles and triggered the cnidocytes to shoot out their nematocysts.

A jellyfish named Barbie.

So Wiz is now Ducky from NCIS. Choosing to wax poetics with his subject on how they got to his operating table?

One of the many reasons I do not swim in the ocean. It’s occupied.

hahahaha

Wizard-splaining…..

So Rodney found “someone” who has less of a backbone then he does. Yet this “someone” can really hurt people, unlike Sir Rodney.

Time for Wiz to whizz on the jellyfish sting?

Maybe Rod, but the Wiz is feeling better already!

Perhaps the Wiz is hoping that a mind numbing explanation will spread to the extremities.

Rodney, it could be worse, you could have been this guy: https://www.westernjournal.com/shark-bursts-waves-devastating-attack-parasailor-gliding-just-overhead-captured-video/?utm_source=Email&utm_medium=newsletter-WJ&utm_campaign=dailyam&utm_content=western-journal&ats_es=bac6e4de4f520753fdcd528e1277c001

Just remember, everything alive in the ocean eats something else alive in the ocean.

That’ll teach Rodney not to touch stuff he shouldn’t.

The Wiz needs to wiz on Rodneys hand now.

Mansplaining at its finest.

And the wheel of evolution continues to spin.

Wiz on it, Wiz!

Wiz must have gotten his latest copy of Cnidaria Monthly.

I ran across a jelly out on the reef just last week. The little dude was hard to see, but I saw him and managed to avoid him. Don’t want to end up like Rodney.

Portuguese man-of-war with all sails set.

Can we get that medic from last week over here?

But maybe now it is ready to cook!!

(One good thing about jellyfish: NO BONES!!)

I know a palliative, but saying it would probably get me blocked

Wonder what would happen if a jelly fish ever met up with a peanut-butter fish?

As a lad, I stepped on a Portuguese Man-O-War tentacle. Supreme ouchie. Thought I had stepped on lava.

Tell that to the bloggers who write extensively about the symptoms without giving the promised remedy.
