Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for February 09, 2021

Here, you take it.

In the dropped 4th and 5th panels, he drops it, and blows up Id.

How good is too good, Wiz?

Love his expression in the second panel as he comes to the realization…

If it was truly the most explosive, it would have already exploded.

Is that how Ascanio Sobrero reacted?

I believe that’s how the Manhattan Project reacted as well…

Nice going, Wiz!

Reminds me of a scene in a Mickey Rooney movie, (1940), Young Tom Edison. In which he shows someone on a train a bottle of explosive that he made. Not realizing that nitroglycerin had already been invented. Nor how unstable it was to motions, such as being on a moving railroad train. Rooney, as young Edison lowered the bottle from the train that was on a wooden trestle bridge into a river. And of course the movie went on from there.

Ah! The moment of realization! Every scientist should have one.

That looks nothing like the Quadium Bomb…. just saying.

Hey, GOT fans. Pig Sh1t. Right?

Boom.

How long can wiz hold his arm up?

Azidoazide azide, eh?https://www.discovery.com/science/Azidoazide-Azide-Most-Explosive-Chemical

The nitrogen bonds will gitcha if you don’t watch out!

The most explosive compound is probably azidoaside azide, which will blow up if you look at it funny.

Rodney is still there in the last panel?

The formula will be called the MTG explosive device….

" . . . OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE?!?"

SHHH!

Scientist #1: I have invented a universal solvent. It will eat through anything.

Scientist #2: What are you keeping it in?

Scientist #1: ………

Don’t cut the red wire!

YOU ARE the Bomb Squad!!

are the people of Id referred to as “Idiots”?

He’s holding antimatter?

It does make you think about all the people who had to invent explosives over and over again, until someone thought to write down the recipe FIRST.

But still not as destructive as human politics.

Similiar thing happened earlier. Here: https://www.gocomics.com/wizardofid/2010/01/08
