Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for November 18, 2024

It attracted some birds, didn’t it?

Looks like his weight-loss diet worked.

But he might need a Boooooooooster shot now.

He just wasn’t working out.

A tad bit morbid for so early the first cup of coffee is barely sipped.

The Parsi (Zoroastrian) community used to hang their dead in sort of a dry well (Parsi Tower of Silence or “Dakhma” as what they call it) so that vultures would finish off their remains. These were their funeral rites called “Dokhmenashini”. I am not sure, but I believe they do not do this anymore.

Yeah, it needs to be refilled. The vultures have picked that skeleton clean.

Man, Wizard of Id really goes DARK on Mondays :-)

It’s a little bit early for Christmas decorating, isn’t it, Wiz?
