Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for January 27, 2020

Can’t Sire. You outlawed joints.

Bust out a can opener!

In point of fact. Real plate armor suits were so well designed that the person inside could bend and twist in almost any direction. Be able to mount a horse or sing a sword or mace while mounted on a bouncy horse in combat. And while it seems to the outsider that the plate-armor should weigh a lot. It is in fact lighter that the chain-mail that it replaced and also far better balanced, as in weight distribution.

“that and I forgot to oil my joints before coming in!”

Besides, oh fink, my beak will hit the floor before I can bow….

Or Prince Valiant

I’m thinking the knight could ‘take a knee’. Oh. Wait. Maybe not.

That’s one way to put some iron in your backbone. Looks like he has a stiff upper lip as well.

Metal doesn’t bend very well.

“If I bow, my beak’ll get stuck in the floor again.”

Or just peck his nose with that helmet….

“I may lose my manhood if I bend.”

I am kneeling, Sire; it’s just that you’re really short…

The helmet makes him top heavy.

Squoosh him

Not if it is properly made.
