Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for July 16, 2021

The loser is going to die – but let’s protect them from the bug. That’s like using a disinfecting swap on a lethal injection.

Seems like spears would have been easier to get a hold of then claymore.

SMH.

Social disrancing is tough even without COVID. Who hasn’t run into the situation where your arms are too short to push people away no matter how much you need to, and too short to gently punch ’em in the face no matter how much they need it?

I thought that’s the reason jousting was invented.

“I wouldn’t touch you with a ten-foot pole.”…

… “But I will stab you with a ten-foot sword.”

Lockdowns are lifting. Is this really necessary?

Was this a deleted scene from “Spartacus”?

Long distance stabbing??

Gladiatorial combat in Id? Must be their version of Renaissance Games – celebrating life from an earlier time.

Id has gladiators? How delightful. “I am Sparticus!” Great movie, “Sparticus”

So maybe that is how jousting evolved?

This is one of the cartoons strip not undergoing reruns.

Those are Not 1-handed swords!

Jousting was invented when the King bought a stable of horses, but then wanted to make money- so jousters were forced to use ONLY the king’s horses, at a rental fee for the king.
