Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for June 26, 2021

That’s what you get for not taking Blanche for dinner the other day. She knocked you in the balls and joints.

I know the feeling.

Or maybe just lubed.

He must be a real magican whem he has a “creek” in the house

I’m not sure that Bob’s Garage is hip enough to do this kind of work.

If he can, Bob will probably charge a lot – the fe-mur than usual.

Must stink to be 500 years old, give or take a century or two.

The hip bone is not connected to your ball joint, now hear the word of the Lord!

If only it was that easy.

The ‘creek’ sound looks like they are coming from somewhere that the balls don’t have joints…

Didnt know balls had joints

Not much of a wizard if he couldn’t zap his ball joints to total health!

Creek? Does he have a stream in his joints?

Just a little lubrication should help.

Can you say that in a family strip?

He’s a wizard who’s often seen giving miracle cures to others but he needs to goes to a garage for his own troubles?

Better than snap, crackle and pop!

Had both hips done last year. . .still hard to get out of a chair. BUT. . .It’s not noisy or painful!

I have a creaky feeling that at his age it would sound more like a fast flowing torrent!

his balls have joints?

Me too Wiz, me too!

Or at least some grease zerks.

If only it was that easy.

He’s a wizard. Can’t he just zap himself?

That was me this morning!

Forgot to go in for his 30k miles checkup?

Is he talking about his hips or his Rocky Mountain oysters? (And yes, it’s creak, not a creek, which is what I have next to my back yard.)

since ball joints are used to help with steering(at least in a car-type vehicle) may I assume(I know dangerous)that the wiz is having trouble going in the direction he wishes to go??

another nut job!

Maybe wearing a kilt would help. :)

(looking at location of ‘creeks’)… His what joints replaced?

Come on, people, it’s a cartoon and funny! Reality needs to bend sometimes. Unlike his hips, which are no longer functioning ideally. The ball and joint part just adds to the funny of it.

Different track here. The knee is a hinge joint, not ball. Most joints on a human are hinge joints. The only ball joint I can think of on a human is the hip.

I didn’t think they had joints.

What’s a joint like that doing in a nice guy like you.

I always doubted the wizard was assembled.

There could almost be a “dirty” joke in that comment in the last panel.

If he does a good job let me know. Could use the same myself.

Good luck with that.

I had mine replaced about fifteen years ago.
