Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for July 12, 2024

Wait a while and you’ll get it back

CRACK!

Crystal ball video call eh.

A crystal ball is not a ball?

[It may not be the type of ball for Henry to play with, but it is a ball.]

I wonder what the view is going down Henry’s G-I track. It might be cheaper than a Colonoscopy.

Prank calls.

Technically it is a ball.

Say………..please!

Well, it IS a ball… but just not the kind you get from Petsmart ;-)

And thus tele-dentistry s invented.

Crystal balls and Dragons? We could make a new video game out of that.

Don’t worry, Henry’s stomach acids can dissolve anything.

Henry just wants to play ball. Get him one. Flameproof, though.

Dragon dialed him!

Isn’t “ball” right in its name?

It is a ball, but it is not a play ball. Now, just let it go…

Witness the first colonoscopy.

But it is a ball. A crystal ball.

Drop it, Henry!

Hmm… I wonder if palantirs come with a warning about external use only?

Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!  Oops, wrong wizard.

I think Henry must be a young dragon and still quite playful.

\\//_

Looks like Henry wants some playtime!

LOTR allusion to Palantir

Has anyone else made the connection that the most common mythological illustration of a dragon is to appear with a globe in its mouth? And, here’s one you might not have heard- in many mythologies, the hairy “dragon” god with the globe in its mouth represents the planet Venus!

He could use a little more training.

Henry mouth dialed.

It’s also not a video conference terminal.
