Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for January 05, 2017

I had to look that one up. When you have to look it up, it is not funny.

Aye Me too C-Minus on this one

Trust the French to invent a sport that involves running away!

Oui!

I not going to bother looking it up.

This is the 2nd time I’ve looked up “parkour.” The first time was also for this same strip (or possibly BC). In any case, today’s strip is LAME.

Too bad Parkour wouldn’t work on a round tower.

Another example of my contention that “common experience” is getting less and less common – must be hell for humorists.

On the other hand, parkour is the basis for many funny videos, when the parkourer eventually goes ‘splat’ or ‘whump’. It’s the urban equivalent of “Hold my beer and watch this.”

What is Parkour?

It is a rubber gym floor. Was a big deal for awhile but has kind of gone away now. Any way at our schools. Does not require the up keep of hardwood but is good for elementary use.

I’m not fond of comics where I need to use Google to figure out what is going on…

ditto—really rotten attempt at being funny.
