Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for November 24, 2023

Something for most of us to Look Forward To. Doesn’t it sound nice? Yes… I expect people will want to scream at me!

Fortunately it was not in a crowded theater.

You know, at least he didn’t prank you that there is a fire. He was just cold!

Not much to burn in the cell except the Spook himself (with all that hair). Curious how he managed to set himself on fire.

For a minute I thought the Spook was finally facing the firing squad.

And then, for no reason, he threw this bucket of water on me!

The Xmas suggestion that being bad would just earn you a lump of coal would’ve been a great gift for those freezing in the winter.

“or at least someone turn off nature’s AC unit!”

A bed……some hot food…….water………

Could be worse, Spook. They could make you shovel the snow.

I have been hungry enough that when life literally handed me a lemon, my first thought was “Fresh Fruit!” Fire is the best thing about winter.

Or a closable window. It’s been freezing for a while, now.

Fires are a yes/no proposition. Nice to sit in front of, no to having a hole in your wall that you have to clean. Digital fireplace?

You might just be getting a bucket of cold water very soon…

I figure Turnkey tossed that water onto Spook. Then Spook will know what needing heat means.

He just wants something to heat.

Give a man a fire, and he’s warm today. Set him on fire, and he’s warm for the rest of his life. — Lord Vetinari (Patrician of Ankh-Morpork — Pratchett’s Discworld series)

Oh no oh no oh no no no no no

Ready! Aim! FIRE!
