Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for September 02, 2021

And you don’t even want to know about 2021!

I guess that explains it all.

That is the crystal ball’s way of telling you “what you don’t know won’t hurt you.”

You will be going on a long trip and meet a tall, dark stranger.

The Crystal Ball could not handle what it saw – Looking ahead to 2020 was too much. “Fortunately” we today can look back on 2020 and see …

A. that 2020 really wasn’t so bad.

B. 2020 was much worse than anyone could have imagined.

C. 2021 is even worse.

D. a world that appears differently to each person that views it.

Never EVER say “Things can’t get much worse.” Trust me, the universe has a sense of irony.

What makes things so incredible is they cheated to get him. You couldn’t possibly tee off so many people in so little time, or so I thought. This will go down in the history books and no one has so richly deserved to be disgraced.

Lies, deceit, graft, bribery, no thing will not have changed much in the future.

It can always get worse.

You think you’ve hit rock bottom. Here let me break out a drill and some dynamite. We can break through that rock and keep going down.

Some kind of bug due to memory failure? Could not calculate correctly?

Id-zactly.

No difference…there were Id-iots then and we have idiots now!

your confusing 2016 with 2020

The politics aren’t so bad, it’s hearing about all of that nonsense that sucks.

If 2020 made your ball pop just wait ’til 2024!

The crystal ball has nothing more to say…everyone for themselves….

Feelin more appreciative now, Rodney?

I’d say politics in ancient Rome were just as bad. And look how that ended up.

“The trouble with democracy is they let folks vote for the guy I don’t like.” – Archie Bunker

That ball could be the world!

Enjoy it, Rodney. Because that crystal ball exploding was the world in 2020.

Let’s not exaggerate. There were eras with fistfights on the floor of the Senate. Eventually people realize cooperation is more effective or they get voted out and replaced by people who do.

Based on all the comments, I’d say you guys have proven the cartoon strip valid.

Next scene – tornado levels the place.

Based on the comments I’m wondering, Since when was ID a part of the USA?

Gotta hand it to Joe, just when you think things cannot get any worse he works his magic and ZAP, they are

Yes………..

Yep. Joe will certainly be remembered that way
