Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for February 17, 2024

risky conversation.

Death needs a bit of a holiday now and then!

The things we do to make room.

Quit slacking.

He’s a dying breed.

Life’s a beach. And then you dies.

So much for Death Takes A Holiday…

Boomers………be very afraid—you may be waiting a LONG time for someone to answer that call button once you’re ensconced into places like that

Dark humor.

Well, he has an obvious place to start…

This “comic” is just plain ICKKY for us older folk.

“life shows but half”….Browning———————Wiz….try considering a different solution.

At a point, you’re not prolonging life, you’re prolonging death.

Maybe it’s just a plumbing problem.

Watch your mouth, Wiz, He could be coming for you. We can all rejoice when death takes a holiday.

Is it the home that’s old? Or the folks?

Not at all funny!

More fun at the beach.

That’s not death. Death is a sickle-wielding wolf. He said it himself.

I’m Death. Straight up.

Ooooh, a dark toon. ☹️

Nasty.

Fredric March on vacation—"WHY IS THERE A CHERRY ON A STICK IN THIS DRINK?”

Do you mind, Wiz? The Reaper and Morpheus are in a conference call. These eternal beings take a bit.

Schwoosh! Thump. “Ask and you shall receive. And I didn’t even need to get up for it”.

Very dark humor, but funny as Heck. Loved it.

Old Folks Home = “Departure Lounge”

hey even Death needs a holiday

Just wait for a riptide and send them out swimming.

Not funny in the least.

Get the government to whip up and mandate another batch of vaccines.

His door bell isn’t working!

Canada’s euthanasia laws…

No matter how long he’s on the beach, he will still be as pale as death.

There has been several comics today that were a little gross.

Maudlin, no macabre.

I knew one fellow who “lived” for 5 years “cared for” (not by family) in a condition in which he would have died of embarrassment… if only he could. A proud man, he couldn’t get from his bed to the toilet without assistance. And he could hear and understand, but was totally unable to speak.

Need to read “On a Pale Horse” by Piers Anthony.

Hm…“Decrease the surplus population…” where have we heard that before, hmm?

Death takes a holiday. Somebody should write a book. Actually, it was an Italian play that was made into a movie in 1934.

I recall a chat with a Nursing home / Care Center manager about this. She said they would refer to calling the Celestial Taxi instead of an ambulance/mortuary when a resident passed. A bit less morbid I guess.

“Death Takes A Holiday’…

Good Grief! I know it’s inevitable, but geez!

Tain’t funny McGee.

Watching my mother and mother-in-law go into their 80s and 90s. One is into serious dementia, ahs suffered a number of strokes but doesn’t remember any of it. The other one has been having physical isssues for years and is now having memory and mental issues also. I’m in my early 70s, and don’t want to go there. There’s a lot positive to be said about increased longevity, but only if it the qualituy of life is good.

Death with interruptions.

HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!

Cold dude. Very cold.

Actually the cartoon represents the fact that the writers over time have gone to sleep. ID used to be funny but that past six months or so they’ve missed more then they hit. Maybe the team decided its okay to pick on old people, anyone else would raise too much heck with them. Goodbye Wiz, I’m retiring you.

God’s waiting room!

My best friend from school just joined the elite 80s club in early February, and is still well, retired with his wife (and nearby 2 daughters) in a very nice home in Hobart, Tasmania. If I make it, I have to wait until the same time next year to join.

Can’t make my mind up whether this one is funny or offensive
