Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for January 02, 2019

Rigged

It’s good to be king.

If I’m reading the chalkboard right, it WAS 89% and 19% which is more than 100%.

What were we finking?

It’s good to occasionally pole the peasants.

See, numbers do lie. Particularly when they are provided by someone who depends on the numbers to be favorable.

I’m surprised that before the Fink “changed” his numbers, his approval was as high as 19% in the first place! (Although, as others pointed out in the comments already, 89 plus 19 is over 100…)

Positive action will win every time.

He’s going to axe the peasants about whether they’ll rethink their response to the poll or not. The fink will use cutting edge survey technology to lop off a few negative answers.

Isn’t it a hammer the King is carrying?

Don’t think that the weight is going to succumb that easy, though….

That’s just like a dictator.

85% of all statistics are useless anyway.

Might have been 87 and 19, but that’s more than 100 also.

Sire: You sent the scale to the torture room last year, remember?

Maybe the horizontal lines drawn caused the 11 look like a 19.

Must be some dead people gave their opinion, like some liberal folks.
