Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for February 18, 2021

The only company you’ve had in years. ( besides the jailer)

Hey guys, why the long faces?

It has come to my attention that poster Charlie Farmer has been surreptitiously banned from talking on these pages for what appears to be no apparent reason as he is not one to make the kind of talk worth being shut out for. I am mounting a write in campaign for his release from the Phantom Zone.

If you wish to help send your letters to: moderator@gocomics.com  As always, be congenial. I believe Charlie’s dropout to have been done in error.

My letter to the company:

Good day, sir or madam. I hope winter isn’t too harsh to you as it has been here with minus zero temps but at least we have not had power outages.

I am writing you today concerning co poster, Charlie Farmer. He has informed me through emails that he has been blocked from the Comments groups at your institution. I am perplexed at this action as I have never known Charlie to make derogatory remarks to the other posters or to post off color material. He says he has sent two notes to you in the past two weeks or so but has not gotten a response. Regardless, it is my fervent hope that Mr. Farmer can be restored to the ranks of the living, to the groups he participates in before he whittles away to nothing from the deafening silence he is forced to endure as a result of having been banished to the Phantom Zone district of Gocomics. “Praise the company !” Thank you, Mr. Gordon Heavern.

I hope one of them is the ancestor of Mr Ed.

Almost anything is better than solitary confinement.

“I certainly won’t say ‘neigh’ to having them join me.”

“Besides, sometimes I’m a little ‘horse’ myself.”

I hope that the jailer cleans out that donjon cell at least once a day. Otherwise the Spook will be knee high in er…. horse apples, (this is a family comic strip after all).

No horsing around.

Horses make for a stable relationship.

Bet the horses are asking “Who’s the new guy?”

Neigh-ver look a gift horse in the mouth….

How’s he gonna get a horse through the tunnel? I mean, gotta have a getaway vehicle if he’s gonna make it to the border.

Horse: "I’m going to puke! What did we do to get put in here and why does he stink so bad?

Ooh! That’s enough for a decent card game…

…warm, too…

Not exactly the bird man of Alcatraz, but for Id, not bad. I’m thinking there are some folks in the south thinking that some nice warm hay and a horse to sit next to would feel pretty good about now. So far the 20s have been terrible.

How’d they get the horses down to the dungeon.

Of course, there’s the terrible stink, but the horses will get used to it.

“I hope you don’t mind the smell.”

“It’s not bad!”

“I was talking to the horses!”

….until they have to use the bathroom

Spook will change his tune when they bring in the wheelbarrow and hand him the shovel.

Cleaner straw, too.

Not sure horses have faces that um, look like that . . .

These guys really do draw the best horses in the cartoon business.

With the way the spook smells, he fits right in with the horses

Maybe the guard uses the medieval method of giving Spook lots and lots of perfume/ cologne for the stench.

Quit horsing around in there. You think you’re some kind of stable genius?

No horsing around in there!

Better than some of the people I have worked with.
