Wizard of Id Classics by Parker and Hart for August 29, 2023

Handicap negotiations progress hand and foot in Id.

The peg legged guy is new around there, I guess.

Rod likes a little ‘insurance.’

The writer of “David and Goliath” understood: you don’t need to be the biggest or the strongest, if you have a good publicist.

Rodney knows that Black Bart’s feet could defeat him.

I already knew that Black Bart was the name of both a pirate and a stagecoach robber. The pirate was Black Bart Roberts. He turned pirate after being captured by pirates and he became the most successful pirate of his generation before being killed in 1722. The wild west stagecoach robber was Black Bart Bowles and he reformed after serving time in prison and died in 1889.

Maybe Bart is pigeon toed.

One of my all time favorite strips

Sir Rodney knows his strengths – or lack of them.

Take him where?

Sir Rodney prefers a fair fight with a handicap. He can easily beat a quadriplegic.

Black Bart? Isn’t he a pirate?

Rodney misconstrued, but he knows well his limitations.
