Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for July 22, 2020

Let me see if I remember my spouse and I talking about this… If a Hand Grenade has bumps and groves on the sides… it is a shrapnel making grenade. But if it is smooth (like the one in the drawing) it is a concussion grenade. Designed to knock the stuffing out of you.

So… how is that brick wall going to save them????

That’s because he tried to make it explode on purpose ; all of the others were by accident.

… yet.

I’d wait a week before picking that thing up.

LOL!!!

If this were a Wile E. Coyote cartoon, the bomb would explode only after he went out to examine it.

Just step over the wall , Bung ?

I’d just leave it…

Remember the Joker in his nurses outfit, even he had the sense to run….

Send Rodney out to examine it…he’s got some armor on (although I don’t see how it’s going to protect him, given his luck)

Ha ha! Good one!

Where’s the Kaboom? There was supposed to be an Earth-Shattering Kaboom!

Some grenades have the segments on the insides.

Give it time

If he makes a vacuum cleaner I bet it’ll suck!

…not yet. Go check on it.

Sad, at least to the would-be practitioners of spells. But true.

Given how close they are hiding they better be glad it didn’t explode.

Thursday’s Wizard of Id comic strip …. Kaboom!

Only works that way when you WANT it to explode…

Reminds me of a grenade that misfired on the range. After waiting the required half hour, the Captain went out with a gob of C4, lit the detonator and walked back. It was a long delay fuse but it destroyed the C13 grenade with a satisfying BOOM !

Will the Wiz be hoisted by his own petard? Tune in tomorrow to find out.

Well, it isn’t the Wiz’s first project to “bomb”!

Could be a dud

The dangers of trying too hard.

Kilroys are here… ☺

Of course it didn’t work. It’s the wrong color! Paint that thing black, and it’ll knock out every window in the kingdom.

It’s time to have the jester go and see if he can make it blow up. :)

Good thing it didn’t go off. If it had, they could have kissed their noses goodbye.
