Wizard of Id Classics by Parker and Hart for July 31, 2024

Politic speak. Looks like they are in Spin City before the term became popular. Not to mention the TV programme became on the air……..

If you break a record at the Olympics, that’s a good thing. But if you sound like a broken record, that’s a bad thing.

“♫ It’s only word, and words are all I have, to waste your time of day…♫” Sorry, BeeGees!

They should have bought the hibachis and sleeping bags.

Do kids these days even know what a broken record sounds like?

Sir Humphrey Appleby: And to that end, I recommend that we set up an interdepartmental committee with fairly broad terms of reference so that at the end of the day we’ll be in the position to think through the various implications and arrive at a decision based on long-term considerations rather than rush prematurely into precipitate and possibly ill-conceived action which might well have unforeseen repercussions.

James Hacker: You mean no.

… I am required to raise your taxes again to continue the 15 year old Committee and study.

We will determine the cause why Id-iots are not to be able to afford life necessity. The Committee and I are hopeful we will find the cause for your claim of poverty and the government’s inability to take corrective action.

The Committee broke into sub-committees before going broke.

Sounds like Kamala trying to speak in understandable terms, and failing.

At least she’s not the “God Father” who thinks he can run a country that way. And can’t even manage TV allotted time, how can he manage a country?

I didn’t write down what Andy Marriott’s nonsense was. I wish I had.

A new month and once again, no new strips. At last GC is consistent. Ugggghhhhh!

Poor Fink has been so preoccupied, they didn’t have time for the next strip?

Like Back to BC we have the beginning of month hiatus.

Don’t let the Fink see that watch. (How can a simple peasant, in Id, afford a watch anyways?)

The ultimate in government speak.

Someone kick it, it’s stuck again!
