Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for December 17, 2015

Yep, a competent wizard should be able to get them untangled in no time. Are you a competent wizard?“I shall have to study that spell. Come back to me in 15 years.”

Sometimes this strip can be REALLY BAD!

No blinking lights, no colors … Could it be barbed wire against id-izens ?

The art looks like it downgraded.

The new art…hikes leg…I’ll stop reading until the old comes back.

Funny, people seem to forget that even artists change their style over time. Look at Peanuts over the years and you can see a major shift by Charles Shultz in how he drew them. Same with Dilbert by Scott Adams. Ditto Garfield. Yes, this is a new artist for Id. But I’m going to reserve judgement for now.

C’mon , King! That’sa what peasants are for! (Sorry for the breakout of my Italian.)

I put Wiz on my daily cartoon list as the style pleased me…. it no longer does, so I’m taking it off the list.

With all due respect to whoever is drawing this strip now, changing artists is kind of like changing your family. These just aren’t the same characters I’ve come to love over the years. Can we please change back?

This is like trying to enjoy a Tom Clancy novel written by someone else. Do not like the new art.

Mason Mastroianni is the grandkid of Johnny Hart and took over B.C. after Johnny passed away. It appears Mason is now doing some of the art for the Parker part of the partnership on Wizard of Id. Maybe Jeff is retiring?

I really hope next week we go back to the regular guy. It’s poorly drawn and not funny. If this continues next week I’ll probably take this strip off my comics list.

There may possibly be a short in this string of Christmas lights, and if so, it should be wrapped around the Fink andthen plugged into an outlet in the wall. The Fink would thenLIGHT up himself!!!

Somehow, Christmas lights in BC seems kinda odd.

Just hang up the tangled lights and call it an art piece.

Methinks there is a new royal artiste.

Don’t have one, but the laser projector Christmas lights ends the entanglement problem, the climbing danger, the attachment ordeal.Surely Id has some..(Personally, I enjoy untangling any tangle, but that’s just me.)

The king put on a bit of weight between artists.

anything’s better than the stupid dragon but yeah, he needs more practice.. I don’t know who those characters are.

It’s not just the artist the writer has to be different too.

Looks like the King’s no so twin brother.

Why should he care! It’s the taxpayer’s money, after all…

Don’t like the new drawings. Please summon the previous artist!

If you don’t like the art, don’t read the strip. It’s better than you or I can do.
