Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for October 04, 2021

Brutal honesty, what would your reflection be?

I wonder what it would show if it were hung at the congressional entrance to the capitol. Where every congressman and senator would see and look at it, to maybe check their appearance, as they enter? What would they see?

LOL!

I might see a cat.

I might see a train spotter, but that was many many years ago, alas!

On reflection, I might give it a pass.

O wad some Power the giftie gie us

To see oursels as ithers see us!

Did the emperor … I mean king … ever check in the mirror on this setting after he wore those “specially-made new clothes”?

Wonder who fooled with the controls.

But admit it, mirror, you were having fun with it, weren’t you?

Mirror, mirror, on the wall… was it Plum with the knife in the hall?

We need to defund congress and the senate!

So many political implications, so little time.

One of the Wizard’s inventions no doubt.

Certainly needs to hung in the Capitol. I can think of a particular female politician in the west coast that has horns and batwings behind her pearl necklace….

They wouldn’t see any image in the mirror…after all, they’re bleeding us dry and sucking the life out of the American people.

geese28 ^^: It’s too early to troll.

Lol, didn’t think Rodney would think of himself like that…

Sort of a tall clown for the king. I’m thinking he might just trade for that.

Surprised by the moderation of hate expressed her in the comics. But it is spot on! Shallow Hal?

obviously not the mirror of erised

I wonder if that king image comes with yellow hair

Robert Burns. “Oh what power if the Good Lord give us to see ourselves as others see us.”

at least, the fink is seen as a TALL clown

to quote Isaac Asimov…….Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life. Nurtured by the false notion that Democracy means that “My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge”

But what if others were wrong?

(Not that they were this time….)
