Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for April 10, 2024

Someone needs to drive Saruman from him!

Is the OOF what my dirty mind thinks it is?

last panel, longer beard and bigger nose? don’t get the message.

It’s good to be the king.

Just lookout for Grima….

Gríma, called (the) Wormtongue, is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. Source Wikipeadea…..

I think Wiz found out how evil the Fink is by sitting in his chair. That’s why the ugly nose, long beard and feeble.

Eh?

Is there a throne in The Little Monarch’s Room? Bet there is…

Just sitting in the seat ages you.

If you weren’t gray before, you soon would be.

Hmm. Does it mean the job ages you? Or does it mean that power, once you have it, only grows into a lust for more power till it makes you an ugly monster?

maybe Mel Brooks was wrong, it’s not good to be the king

I can’t decide between the Sword of Domocles or Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown in the Wizard’s case. Both instances would be equally relevant.

Evidently, feeling the thrust of power makes your beard grow longer.

I would love to have a monarch’s room, especially since I barely ever see the amazing little butterflies in the wild any more.

Get out ……quick…….

“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.” Henry IV Shakespeare

I’m surprised the Fink isn’t shown going to the little monarchs room more often, he is so full of Xit. (X pronounced as sh) ;-}

I don’t get “it”.

Oof? Sudden Beard Growth? I’m open to an explanation here… ???

So…I’ll admit it….this one got away from me….

another one I do not get

The hot seat.

Different feelings for different people. Some take their job seriously. Some people use them to do victory laps, doing no work whatsoever. Some listen to intelligent advisors. Some listen to suck ups.
