Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for December 30, 2022

Unless it’s caffeine free Diet Coke, you don’t have to worry about drinking too much until you start to get a stomachache.

Not a bad resolution, actually.

I’m no gonna focus on myself, I’m gonna focus the camera. SLR.

Focusing on and wanting to improve the lives of others really is great, however, fixing and improving yourself can also improve the lives of those around you and those you encounter. In fact, improving yourself may even make it so you can improve the lives of others even more.

why bother? the king (in real life: politicians) do that already

I agree. Best Resolution ever……

pass this comic to our lawmakers both parties

And it’s one that’s more likely to be kept!

I have made and kept the same resolution for 50 years. I resolve not to make resolutions.

Never trust resolutions made while under the influence…not that Bung is ever sober, though.

Isn’t that already the jester’s job?

As long as you can make the Fink laugh, you’re OK.

By others, Bung is referring to the barkeeps.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Bung is running for congress?

So, basically, Bung is going to go around and tell other people what’s wrong with them, how to fix it and when it needs to be done. Kinda sounds familiar.

Actions speak louder than words….

Improving oneself improves others lives.

So Bung’s resolution is basically to become an annoying busybody?

Best resolution you ever heard, worst joke I ever heard…

When you judge others, you are practicing to judge yourself because your brain doesn’t know the difference. I am fat, I am stupid, I am not good enough. Get it? I don’t judge others anymore and am happier about myself.

Bung is paying for our drinks??

“I resolve to improve the lives of others… whether they like it or not!!”

Sort of like people who just watched LOTR for the first time: “Everyone needs a Sam!” Well, why don’t YOU be someone else’s Sam! I try to be, but I’m not a good gardener.

Bung wants to improve the lives of others? He’s a socialist? /s

I gave up stupid resolutions 50 years ago other then one, trying to make it till next year

The worst kind of tyrant is one who truly believes they are acting in everyone’s best interest.
