Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for January 17, 2020

Should be enough power in that wind to bring the Spook to the battle field. The smell should be enough to scare the enemy away.

The fizzle of Wiz’s wand should have caused a little magic in cleansing Rodney’s bowels. The resulting odor and mess should be sufficient to keep most at a distance.

Charge that bloody wand frequently, wiz!!

“Not gonna be a good day” . Of course , being Friday 17

Why does it seem that Rodney is staring at the magic word in the previous panel? You’d think the low-battery symbol floating in the air would catch his attention.

Must be a pen for an i-pad…

“So why were we defeated? Because Wiz forgot to charge his stupid wand!”

Sometimes the magic works and sometimes it doesn’t.

For crying out loud. You forgot to charge your wand before a battle? Wait, you can summon lightning. So summon already.

I don’t understand this strip. What’s the red thing?

Need to visit Ollivander’s, Diagon Alley, South Side, London. . .

ALAKAZOTT! Great sound effects, but should have been followed by … ALAka.fizzle.

He should have charged that thing overnight.

For battery or worse…

Need to get the new “Wand 11.” Longer battery life.

It’s like an omen.

⚠️

“Stupid thing’s running Windows 10…”

The spirits have drained your wand battery!!!

The good news is it’s Friday the Huns are mercenaries so they all go home at five for the weekend.

Click Restart….

Today’s strip kinda reminds me of the Energizer battery commercial where the Emperor sends Darth Vader after the Energizer Bunny to take his battery. Vader is confronting the bunny when his lightsaber fizzles out because Lord Vader was using the cheap brand of battery in his weapon.

This is not going to look good on your performance review with the King!!

Forgot to charge it overnight.
