Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for October 22, 2023

Smart phones were a great invention. But so misused.

We had lots of things to occupy our time before smart phones came along.

Then your true life is over

So you admit to being just a flash in the pan then? (A little flintlock reference there)….

I thought they’d been in the Electric Kool-Aid again, like when they were looking at the leaf “colors” a few days ago…

Nothing is stopping you since you know what they are.

It ain’t so smart if you forget to charge it.

I’ll trade my smart phone for your wand.

You could invent the smart phone with your magic.

And that will be another curse!

So the Wiz is into “Magic Mushrooms?”

Now THIS would’ve made for a great opportunity for a throwback 80s computer generated imagery.

While the Autumn colors on B.C. would’ve looked better hand drawn.

I know, I know. Everyone’s a critic.

Rather have the wand than the smartphone

Why don’t you invent the smartphone, Wiz?

My smart phone is wasted. All i do with it is make REAL phone calls.I spent far too much time with technology with my job. I am techie, I have been programming since 1974, so I do know a lot about computing, just don’t enjoy it anymore.

a couple of special mushrooms will give you everything a smartphone will without the bill

Well, it sounds like the Wiz is not Merlin, since Merlin was cursed to live his life backward in time…

I remember doing something similar when I learned about creating fractals on my PC.

The problem is the Smart Phone is dumbing out the users. Text them a question and you’ll be lucky, unless it’s a simple Yes or No, if you get a complete answer. Since they have to erase the the incoming to answer don’t waste your time asking two questions.

It now takes three guys to make a strip that’s over 80 percent colored spirograph pictures. We have reached PEAK Sunday funnies here, people.

Frozen Fractals?

Great fun art…

It would go great with some Acapulco Gold and some Iron Butterfly!

The Wiz’s Psychedelic Screen Saver

Maybe Mastroianni can turn those frames into wallpapers for phones and sell them as Wizard of Id merch.

By any chance, was Wizard anywhere near the “Tarzan” strip today?

Cool abstract art, Wiz!

Dude just invented tie-dye!
