Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for April 28, 2024

What ELSE is fishing for?…

Give a man a fish and he’ll eat for a day, teach him how to fish and he’ll sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

On the up side, think about the mayhem they could have gotten into if they hadn’t been sitting in a boat getting sloshed.

Better ambience than inside steenky bar eh.

I see that they are quite well fermented. And they will stoutly proclaim that the day was well spent. But I foresee a bitter end of the day awaiting them. An end that will hop on every thing they did and did-not do. And an end they will not forget yeast they do it again.

Today’s Red and Rover strip has a similar approach to fishing. As I mention in my profile, Red and Rover and The Wizard of Id are in strong competition for my third favourite comic strip.

“drinking beer and drowning bait”= great day

The fish are making a killing with their new microbrewery!

Red and Rover went fishing today too!

I was never much into fishing. But quail hunting, yes. Though my cousin and I decided it’d be much cheaper to go to the butcher and buy a plucked and gutted bird instead.

They obviously read “The Andy Capp Guide to Fishing”. Dilly! Dilly!

Today, that would result in a DUI

Not the first time the wife has seen that one!!!!!!

And no scuffles.

No bait, just a can of beer at the end of the line.

Depending upon the quantity of 12 packs consumed they would catch quite the hangover the next morning.

“We caught a serious alcohol dependency… Hic…”

Fishing was invented as an excuse to drink beer at 7am.

They caught a buzz!

I’m the 007 of fishing. 0 bites, 0 fish in 7 hours.

What about the one that got away???

Ben Foster’s line in Hell or High Water: It’s beer thirty, or it’s beer o"clock. One of those, I may have been having a beer.

Suds consumption is nearing an all time low. This strip is out of touch with what people are drinking.

Modelo now rules over Budweiser. Who’d have thunk it?

I stopped drinking long ago. Now I fish for comments and likes. My tackle is my laptop. ;-p

Too drunk to fish? Someone call Jeff Foxworthy.

A guy from Minnesota told me the state motto is, “If you ain’t drunk; you ain’t fishin …”

They would have caught something if Balen was with them, he always thinks its a nice day for fishing, with a a laugh and a smile. Wonder what would happen if he had beer though . . .

The only thing I ever caught fishing was a buzz!

What started as an idea for “Beer Battered Fish” just left the two of them beer battered.

They BRAVELY accepted their failure to catch fish without complaint or whimper.

True stoics!!

I wonder how restaurants get their fish that they’ve always got.

“Wahs fer dinnnner?” Beer battered fish sticks."

Wiz is going to catch it… from Blanche!

Really old British joke: Q) How is American beer just like sex in a canoe? A) They’re both f***ing close to water. (back when they were comparing Guinness to Hamms or PBR)
