Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for July 31, 2022

The Wiz just couldn’t wait for the tide to come in and take care of it.

Just like a kid.

Demolition is always the most fun part of construction.

They look a little bit like royal terns, based on the head plumage.

I bet that Wiz would like the video game Rampage.

Even though seagulls know a sucker when they see one, by the third panel the gulls took off again because they found out eating a sand castle isn’t that appetizing. So who turned out to be the sucker in the end?

puts you in mind of Gomez Adams………

Wat a wast.

That cone-shaped tower looks like it knows what is coming!

What? No moat?

That’s the best thing about building stuff: BREAKING IT APART AGAIN!

I always found the best part of playing with plastic army men was the can of hair spray and a lighter…

I believe people build their lives like they build sand castles. They start out making everything as strong and beautiful as they can and then they invite family, strangers and pets to test it.

“We’ve learned how to destroy, but not to create; how to waste, but not to build; how to kill men, but not how to save them; how to die, but seldom how to live.”Omar Nelson Bradley (General of the Army, the last of nine to ever hold the rank.)

My best friend and I would take those small plastic soldiers and put them in forts and buildings we would make out of Lego’s and Lincoln logs. Then we would sit back and bomb the Base with darts. Not those sissy plastic tipped darts but the metal tipped ones. Spent hours doing that. Outside.

Love the mini-trebuchet! Obviously not made of sand….. ; )

I wish I had thought of that when I was kid…

Jimi Hendrix could shred Castles Made of Sand if ever he wanted to!

When do gulls just walk along? They’re usually aloft and diving on their targets.
