Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for May 29, 2010

LOL…actually a remake of a Far side strip…it had cows and sheep in field walking about on hind legs and playing cards and smoking and so on…a sheep calls “car” and they all drop onto four legs and munch grass.

Pretty good though…

Where’s the air hose for the jackhammer?

Okay then! Carry on men.

That’s a wind-up jackhammer.

Shouldn’t that be, “cart coming”.

Shame on them!! Secrecy = bad, very bad!

Joe, once again you are demanding logic in a comic strip. If you accept talking animals and obvious anachronisms without complaining, i.e., every B.C. strip, then you probably shouldn’t complain about the jackhammer. Actually, the jackhammer is purely a manual tool; it’s the jackhammer operator that’s making the “RATATA” with his mouth. Just like the shoveler is making the “DIG DIG DIG” sound effects.

The fun thing about Comics and Cartoons, they most always defy logic. Remember Fred Flintstones car that he .motorized my his feet?

Wait a minute! Why are they working off the side of the road and not smack in the middle of the road holding up traffic!? Now I DEMAND the logic to this strip!!

I wonder why the Men At Work didn’t ask, “Who Can It Be Now?”

Well, that would explain why nobody ever sees highway crews actually working, and yet somehow the work gets done.

All this time I was going with the theory that the actual work was being done at night by highway leprechauns.

Have to keep up appearances.

80shairnomore: love the moniker. Lost or restyled?

Have to not earn every penny.

Pressing the logic, where are the suits drinking coffee and standing around looking at them not work?

keep it up shiek and you will soon become a member of an ever growing club……those who dare question or contradict the great jad in any way shape or fashion are cursed to be labeled as the dreaded ‘cyber bully’ once so labeled, you are flagged and cast into the pit where there is much weeping and gnashing of teeth……

clearly you would know what you are talking about if you operated a jackhammer in your past ; once you’ve had a jackhammer in your hand, it changes your life forever.

PEOPLE, PEOPLE, IT’S A COMIC STRIP FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!! JUST LAUGH AND GET A LIFE, SHEESH

I see no cop drinking coffee. I see nobody leaning on a shovel, I see no man with a clip board.

I have used both an air powered jack hammer and and an electric powered jack hammer during my real job and not just as a volunteer. They are actually called demolition hammers. All of that being said… It’s a comic folks, lighten up!!

Sorry,Joe. If you you were serious, you lose. If you were just being comical, perhaps you pass.

Some folks demand logic.. I now wonder how much logic there is in life?

The guy with the clipboard isn’t union, Lew. And the cop has been laid ff cause of tax cuts. Contact about the shovel guy only.

For your sake, I hope it’s not John Steward.

“If I had a jack hammer, I’d jack hammer in the morning…”

Naw, doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Here in the bay area we have a running joke…

What’s white on the road and sleeps 5?

A “Caltrans” truck…

Also, what’s the state flower of california?

A traffic cone(with regards to who posted on comics.com)

Bumper sticker: I brake for any road worker I see working.

The Jackhammer is operated by solar power

Caltrans, definitely Caltrans. No doubt about it.

That jackhammer runs on volcanic gases.

I used to have to run jackhammers in furnaces at a steel mill. It was so hot, we could only stay in the furnace less than a minute and sometimes our shirts would catch fire. We’d run out and another crew ran in. When a furnice went down, they wanted all the brick, slag and steel hammered out, rebricked and up running in eight hours. We’d stand on water circulated scaffelds being held up by a large overhead crain.

At freedholder1: if you’re still checking your post’s; hair has been restyled for many years now…lol…however, my yearbook picture(class of ‘87) I looked just like Paula there on the left, sans the bustier…hahaha

All they’re doing is planting the post for the “Men At Work” sign.

William Pursell, highway leprechauns aren’t the same as as the kind you’re thinking of. They got downsized from the regular leprechauns’ Ministry of Shovel-Ready Projects after all the pots of gold had gotten buried, so they had to transfer their skills to another trade.

And it ain’t coffee in those thermoses they carry.
