Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for January 09, 2022

The Giant gave the wizard a beer. Will he be able to drink it all?

Was that a hops plant he grew?

What will he do the next time he’s bored?

Dude, hold my beer…yeah, seriously! (Huff! Huff!) That’s a heavy bottle!

The bigger the beer the louder the burp!

Is the plant in the vase in the last panel what’s left of the beanstalk? And it sounds like there’s more to this story than just nine panels: How did the Wiz get down from up there, and what became of the Giant — and the Beanstalk?

Is the Giant the “Jolly Green Giant”? If he is. He works hard enough growing all the vegetables. He deserves a beer or two.

It abeers that the wizard is very happy and not bored!

LOL!

Where’s the goose that lays golden eggs?

Beerdom!

I bet Andy Capp wishes he lived in a fantasy strip like this one rather than the comic strip he is in which is still largely based on Reg Smythe’s real life experiences.

As I mentioned on Red and Rover recently, Calvin and Hobbes is my favourite strip and Andy Capp is my second favourite. The Wizard of Id and Red and Rover are close runners for third place.

Now that’s a beer Impkins & Patsnozzle would like.

I think FOOM! is the cartoonists’ favourite sound effect, they put it on on blasts, catapults and even sudden beanstalk growth!!

Drats. If only there was them magic stores here then I could gets and plants magic beans too and then go steals some giant picanic baskets along with giant beers.

After all that work, he deserves a beer!

Sometimes one wants to go where a giant beanstalk takes you.

He could have just Zapped it up…lol

I wonder if he borrowed that beer or swiped it. On a weird but related note, I wonder what Wizard bone bread would taste like? …ick

I’m waiting for Bung to break through that wall like a bowling ball through pins. This shall not end well.

OverSimplified warned us

The inevitable “Beer Belch” will shatter the window as he spends an hour getting rid of the giant beer in the bathroom.

I’ve wondered. Is the giant’s house on branches at the top of the beanstalk or floating in air?

FEE FI FO FOORS! SOMEONE TOOK MY LAST COORS!

Only one, or is there a six pack in the cooler?

Now THAT’S a beer run!

ready for kickoff

It’s a good thing the Wiz didn’t eat those beans. The result could have been a gas attack to rival World War One.

B double E double R UN.

\\//_

Soon, Wiz is going to live up to his name.

Lockheed beer: Drink one bottle and P38.

No chips the size of a mini-coop?

The wizard leads a happy life.

all that effort to get a super x-large beer? couldn’t he just use his magic to teleport one to him, or make a regular beer super-sized?

also, it came in a six pack, did he bring the whole pack back? did he sell a couple other bottles as glass casks of beer? or keep for personal use in future?

Bier. Groß.

Eh. It probably could have been much worse.

The real question is why does Wiz need to go to a magic store??
