Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for February 13, 2019

Shades of Scrooge McDuck.

“Money is not the most important thing in the world. Love is. Fortunately, I love money.”

Jackie Mason

You’re still not getting a raise, Rodney.

Scrooge McFink I presume.

Disgusting to see he’s swimming in the stuff!

Others people money can not buy happiness.

Dive in McScrooge

how many people know who scrooge mcduck is?

Enjoy it now, because you know the old saying “You can’t take it with you!”

that’s because Fink has it.

Now they need to “Dive around in it like a porpoise, and burrow through it like a gopher, and toss it up and let it hit them on the head!”

It’s “Whom are you spending . . . ?” Parker & Hart know better, but, like most Americans, they’re reluctant to use correct English lest the public deem them persnickety. The non-theological paraphrase of Luke 8: 16-18 is that if you’re blessed with intelligence and education, i.e., knowledge, share it. Only fools will resent such an act of love toward mankind.

You can do that if you remain a bachelor.

If that was his secret stash…it ain’t secret anymore! ;o}

Come to think of it, has there ever been a queen or prince/princess shown in this strip/

“Whoever said money can’t buy happiness isn’t spending it right.”

Wait for the cavity search on your way out!

Reminds me of Jack Benny who used to go down to his vault to visit his money. The old gentleman who was the guard hadn’t been above ground since the Civil War, and Benny would tell him about all the amazing new things up there.

Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it buys the things which lead to happiness.

(Or so I hear.)

Wait until Hagar hears about this.

Somebody’s been reading Uncle Scrooge comics.

The Root of all Evil.
