Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for December 02, 2020

Just before the riot was to explode… and everyone but those in Solitary were hurt…. (Grin!)

The Fink could use Spook to aim his trebuchet.

Luckily Spook isn’t served spoiled swill.

I thought he was in solitary…

A vacation where you can get away from it all?

A deeper dungeon? A fresh cell? Cleaner – no spider webs? After a few days (?), “I want to go back home (to my old cell).” Don’t a lot of people these days just want a change of scenery (any change) for awhile?

well, that worked out well it seems.

I’ve met some of the best people in solitary confinement.

I came to the comments to see how many references there were to the past and current lockdown and there were none…..oops! There was only one

That says ‘flick’, right? Let me get my glasses…

They sort of tried to put the entire world in solitary confinement this year. It didn’t work all that well did it?

At least he’s not playing his radio. OK OK they don’t have those yet in ID but anything is possible in this modern version.

They allow him to keep a weapon?

Sometime ya gotta do what have to, to survive

Umm… How does solitary differ from what he’s in now?

And no windows to bother him with that incessant sunlight!

I’m reminded of the prisoner who survived the 1902 eruption of Mt. Pelee on the island of Martinique in the West Indies. He survived the poisonous gases that killed almost everyone else nearby because his jail cell was mostly underground and not well-ventilated.

Oh PLEASE. hurt me more…..

Problems arise when confusing rewards for punishment.
