Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for December 26, 2022

Gee Wiz

Come down out of the tower. We also have fleas and ticks!

Are they alive?

I’m freezing in Fl, and my mosquitoes are missing. Supposed to warm up this week so I’m sure they will be back

you’ve hit the wrong satellite Wizard

Don’t mess with mother nature.

I find myself agreeing with Fink and I try to avoid that whenever possible.

Christmas doesn’t have to be over. Some people observe today as the second day of Christmas. The Twelve Days of Christmas are 12 days in the Christmas Season as observed by some Christians (some Christian denominations) going from December 25th (the First Day of Christmas) to January 5th (the Twelfth Day of Christmas).

And then there is Epiphany (which some call Three Kings Day) on January 6th – which observes the Magi (the Wise Men) coming and encountering the newborn Christ child and giving gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Christmas is NOT “over.” Happy second day of Christmas to all!

‘Tis the Feast of Stephen. Don’t forget to sing “Good King Wenceslas.”

When you try to mess with (control?) nature, you don’t get the results you expected or wanted.

At least partial success, Wiz.

You may want summer, Fink; but those of us who live in the south where the temperatures get into the 90s and 100s can wait…

Time to put new batteries in that wand, Wiz…

The timing of this strip (written weeks ago, I’m sure) is ironic in view of the “bomb cyclone” over so much of the USA.

Time to replace the batteries in your wand Wiz. And everyone else check the battery in your smoke detectors!

The awnser is CO.2 keep burning greenhouse gasses

I want to finish celebrating Chanukah which ends tonight. :-)

Good timing. Freeze them all before they procreate.

Hey Wiz, You don’t want to piss-off Mother Nature. She might just take your magic. As they say in the past, present, and future, it’s not nice to fool with Mother Nature. Yip yip yip yip yip

Oh no! Mosquitoes that can stand the cold? Now that would be an apocalypse!

Ahhhh, yes. Frostbite and malaria.

Snowsketoes?

Wow, great job Wizard. The worst of two seasons all at once. Give yourself a lollypop and go away now. …tsk

Maybe by moving the season for mosquitoes to winter, they’ll be less of those biting pests during the summer, when more of our skin is exposed. Thanks, Wiz. Unless the cold breeds a super mosquito, then we’ll have another problem.

Oy! Back to the cellar.

Winter can die today, December 26.

You’ve got to ease into Summer…

…just when you thought winter couldn’t get worse.

My mother used to make sarcastic comments about the people who expected winter to be over once we got past Christmas or New Year’s Day. At the time, we lived in Milwaukee, WI, and 20"+ snow wasn’t uncommon.

don’t mess with mother nature

Ugh the ultimate weather nightmare

He used the wrong magic word. No wonder.

Could be worse. He could have conjured up oobleck.

Feels…OUCH… somewhat like summer.

(Bah. I had mosquitoes just last week. With the temperature above freezing today, I expect more in a day or so. I love Florida and mosquitoes love me.)

You left out the Z Wiz. The mosquito took it.

I never want summer. Spring, Fall or winter, but never summer. It’s too hot.
