Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for August 20, 2023

Well then, send him on a one-way trip back to Everest…

What goes up, must come down . . .

I was on the top of the world looking down on creation….

He just likes to get high.

Rodney, quick, put a rope on the finks neck and hang him high for ever, will ya.

My comment on classic I’d is strangely appropriate here too. It’s lonely at the top. And the only way is down……

… and now he’s taking the “Your Highness” thing literally.

Unusual for a Sunday strip to follow on from a daily strip story arc. It was also unusual for The Wizard of Id to have a story arc which lasted for two weeks.

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends

Mm, gonna try with a little help from my friends

♪♫

He just likes being on top.

Psst, Kingy, if you want to be high again I have a solution…..

It will “wear off” soon.

The fink goes to great heights to recreate his climb!

Rare instance of Sunday edition following the weekly story

And head still in the clouds

This must be what being tall feels like.

Once you get really high, your life is changed forever.

I think he just likes to lord it over everyone.

I don’t know why this only occurred to me today, but did the author’s of this strip recently complete an Everest expedition?

Definitely his "high"ness.

He’s “♪♫addicted to ’above’♪♫” Take it a way, Robert Palmer (RIP)

The fink is short enough that the reduced oxygen wasn’t as bad at his altitude.

There are several easier ways to get high.
