Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for April 10, 2021

Looks like the one on the left is planning to win by a nose.

The harness part about this is holding onto both the horse and chariot. If you can do than, then you’re off to the traces (unless it reins).

Dang. I thought these were the funny cars.

Small motors on these chariots.

Must be them half horse powered chariots.

And around and around goes the wheel. And where it stops nobody knows.

I’m interested in what an Id Formula 1 Chariot would look like.

The only time a chariot would be improved if it were shafted…..

No harness and the reins seem to be coming out of the horses mane. Not sure they will make it around the first turn.

I see that all the drivers are in plate armor. They must have broken a link in their chain-mail. And this is their bad-luck fate for breaking it. To be in canned races.

they can’t be formula one…not enough horsepower.

Lol

Is Sir Rodney sporting a mullet under that cowl?

They must be at a “Roman Times” restaurant.

Well, it’s not exactly Ben Hur, but I’d buy a hot dog for that.

At the Colosseum today we will be presenting the most Murderous Games: Chariot Races, followed by Gladiatorial Contests “There will be Blood” including theatrical performances, dances, chariot races, and bloody slaughter.. Also Christians feed to Lions. “A fun time for the whole family”

Although the Chariots of Fire races are pretty exciting, too.

It would probably go better if they would hitch the horses up to the chariots.

Are these races NASCAR approved?

They don’t seem to be dressed like Spartacus.

Should have run this strip on SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!

Why do they need armor? They could use t-shirts and baseball caps for advertising too.

Id Nooses? Snowflakes are going to be triggered. Or are my boomer eyes reading it wrong?

Bubba Knight?

Ever seen “Ben Hur”? It’s really a Demo Derby.

Not going to work real well if they’re using the reins to pull the chariots.

ID Software! Ah, childhood memories.

Isn’t it amazing that in Id the vehicles don’t need to be connected to the steeds in front of them (see two days ago as well)?

IASACR. Id Association for Single-Axle Chariot Racing.

Feels like you’re in the movie Ben Hur

They’re usually two horsepower, aren’t they?

So many issues. Your artist needs to brush up on wagon design….and size perspective. Or did you mean to use mini horses?

first horse has shortened tail to reduced drag. disqualified …altered feature
