Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for April 18, 2020

They should have Henry meet Puff. I bet Peter and Paul wouldn’t mind.

Henry has a friend in Rumplestiltskin.

Smaug Alert.

Wiz and Henry must take care that Fink doesn’t find out about the gold.

Smaug liked to sleep on his loot, too.

At least Henry can pay his rent.

Apparently, Henry has some hidden abilities for finding things…..

The Golden Dragon…sounds like a Chinese restaurant…

Henry embraces the stereotype!

Such a contented look on his face, must be comfy.

Had a wonderful Golden Dragon in the neighborhood UNTILL the father died and the son took over….yikes!

Hit him up for a loan, Wiz.

And the stereotype is? Poor.penniless dragons?

Grow op?

How did Henry shrink?

A smaug is a non Dragon Circle member. Things are not always what they seem.

Henry’s house must be a TARDIS since it’s noticeably larger on the inside!

Henry’s got a Long way to go to match Smaug’s trove.

Since when does a stereotype need any help?

Careful Wiz. They stop being funny and friendly once they get a taste for the gold. Dragon sickness is a common disease and can corrupt the strongest of us with greed and lust.

Dragons gotta have a pile of loot. Gotta keep up with the other dragons, doncha know.

Listening to music using headphones while responding to comments: Stereo typing.

Henry’s last name is Smaug.

Smaug from The Hobbit

Baby Smaug.

That’s nothing compared to the treasure Smaug was sitting on.

his size varies SSSOOOO much from strip to strip

Adorable dragon-puppy!!!

The dragon lair in Voyage of the Dawn Treader also had gold stuff

Dragons tend to guard hoards of treasure — typically by lying on top of it. https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DragonHoard

Henry is truly worth his weight in gold!

Stereotypes would be harder to form if there were not examples supporting them.

I see Henry has his own stimulus package

Cf. Fafner guarding the Rhinegold in Wagner’s “Siegfried”

Every dragon needs a hobby!
