Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for August 21, 2010

OK, this one I don’t get… Get on what?

Considering Rodney’s lifelong reluctance to engage the enemy, the phase from him “I have not yet begun to fight” is literally true. He’s definitely no John Paul Jones or Robert Plant or Jimmy Page either.

It means to get started or to get working on something, in this case to begin to fight although it’s a bit late as his ship is sinking.

It wasn’t clear to me whose ship that was out in the distance. Since Rod’s not on it, I figured it was the enemy’s. But who sunk it? And if it’s Rod’s, why are he and the other guy on it?

Oh wait, I get it. Although it doesn’t look like it, he is on a ship in the first panel. I thought it was an island.

Time to fight the good fight.

Thanks, Sheik. Pardon me, while I clean the orange juice off of my screen. ;)

Had to flag four of ‘em??? This is getting out of control!

Never do today what you can do tomorrow.

I never realized ID had a coast. Good thing Sir Rodney’s there to protect it.

What are you going to fight for?

Another day where the comments,(and photos), are better than the comic strip…

“A ship can be either a ship or catastrophy. That depends, if you’re aboard or under”.
