Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for February 05, 2024

What happens when he catches the balloon on fire?

Wiz should keep a close eye on the dyno-mometer.

Couldn’t the Wiz himself kind of do what Henry is doing?

He is full of hot air, isn’t he?

Man, hot air balloon rides keep getting more expensive every year.

But I guess that’s just inflation.

Why did Billy ride a hot air balloon?

He wanted to be a Billyonair.

Why do you need to be so careful if you’re learning about hot air ballooning as a hobby?

It’s easy to get carried away.

Eh couldn’t cha just rides on him instead?

At least you get to go out somewhere, Blanch!

Here I thought Blanche had enough hot air to keep them afloat.

It’s hard to fly a hot air balloon before the invention of those heat things.

Not a pet…..part of the equipment!!!!!!!

you use FOOM a lot…do you remember Friends Of Ol’ Marvel? i was member

This balloon ride is actually a publicity stunt. Henry is going into politics.

He provides the hot air. The king isn’t tall enough to use.

The Lake Norman Monster balloon looked remarkably like that.

Year of the Dragon!

With Henry latched on to it, I’m surprised it can get off the ground.

It’s Henry’s year this year!

I have always been amazed that those hot air balloons with fire keeping them up DON’T catch on fire.

The weight is dragon ’em down.

Gotta have heat….lots and lots of heat!

At U of IL in the ’70’s, Garcia’s pizza was really good. Owned and operated by “The Flying Tomato Brothers”. They had a hot air balloon that looked like a giant tomato.

You mean you couldn’t cast a spell and make the balloon float?
