Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for October 08, 2020

Tomorrow is filing the uses of different kinds of dung! But first we need samples from as many species as we can find!

You should have known there’d be days like this when you married him.

Exciting beyond belief.

What, Blanche — you’ve never heard of Magic Mushrooms?

Recently, the colours on the strip are really great!

She no longer wanted to be amongus!

Hey!… Fungi can be interesting. You could go sporing out the lives of new fungi.

Yeah, Blanche, you knew the Wizard was a fungi when you met him! B^D

Now that She’s gone time to head to the Pub for a Mushroom Pizza and a Ale !

Wow! Sounds like a magical time! You should stick around, Blanche! :-)

So you’re saying there’s a fungus among us, Wiz?

Awww, fungi have feelings too!

Categorizing how? Hallucinogenic/non-hallucinogenic?

Wiz would make a great science professor

“AND… I’M OUT”

(senses rudeness in this piece of dialogue)

Actually, there are quite a few books on fungi. . .interesting critters. . uh. . .species. . .

She’s not a Fun-gal. He’s a Fun-guy (Fungi) – he’s having fun with Fun-Gus.

I’m with you, girl.

Hey, I always knew the Wiz was a fungi, er…fun guy! :D

sounds like a fun day of botanizing …

…and as soon as she leaves he finishes his categorizing and heads for a pub to study some local brews.

I seem to remember that Alice found some interesting fungi from a talking caterpillar who was smoking a water pipe.

Categorize me. I’m a fungi.

Everyone wants the sizzle, but no one wants to do the cooking …

Boring!

When you consider all the ingredients mentioned by the witches, in the Song of the Witches in MacBeth, by William Shakespeare, and further that the Wiz is probably a purveyor of such things, Mrs. Wiz should have realized what she was in for.

Double, double toil and trouble;Fire burn and caldron bubble.Fillet of a fenny snake,In the caldron boil and bake;Eye of newt and toe of frog,Wool of bat and tongue of dog,Adder’s fork and blind-worm’s sting,Lizard’s leg and howlet’s wing,For a charm of powerful trouble,Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

Double, double toil and trouble;Fire burn and caldron bubble.Cool it with a baboon’s blood,Then the charm is firm and good.

But he needs someone to help sort out which ones are edible and which are poisonous!

“That’s okay. I will bring you the best”

this is pretty much like my wife and I

This wizard is a biologist as well. Another feather in this hat.
