Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for September 13, 2021

Never look a gift dragon in the mouth.

You won’t be eating prunes because he’ll be eating them all.

You really need Henry on your side, Fink.

Besides that, no one wants to have a dragon around if it isn’t getting enough roughage.

…not to mention the lawn needs fertilizer.

Not wise to upset a fire breathing dragon.

Win-win might seem a stretch when the lawn is littered with post-roughage tomorrow.

I hope the Fink leaves it at that.

Yeah, go for it. Henry would be a nice ally to have in your corner, Your Majesty.

That and you don’t have to pay him for doing the pruning!

Dragons eat greens? Doesn’t their roughage come from sheep, cows, or knights (brave or otherwise) bones?

Can we rent Henry for our annual garden culling/trimming???? He could do in a moring what it takes me a month to do. . .

Anyone want to see Henry blow flame into the bottom of that tower?

Yeah. As long as he doesn’t decide to bake the apples, you’re golden.

If you say so, Wiz!

Wasn’t aware that dragons ate vegetables!

I’ve got some trees that he could chew on. But he needs to leave before the roughage kicks in. (Or kicks out)

Gardening with Dragons, the Wizards new book.

Yes, it was a rough age to live in.

The only dragon around my place is my a$$.

Have we known until now that Henry was a plant eater?

There is no worthless anything. There are merely things whose value has not yet been fully determined.

There was a bit in the local paper about the electric utility dropping off trimmed branches at a zoo, which the keepers prepare as browse for the animals.

Wait a minute! Is Henry QUALIFIED to prune a tree without damaging it?

I love the bird’s eye view.

As if the King would tell him “no!”

Nice point-of-view on this strip. Typically it’s a lot more “2D side scroller” …
