Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for August 15, 2021

It’ll a lot easier in the morning though.

You need more fiber in you diet, Oh King of ID. If all you are putting out is 1%.

The 1 per centers are just stepping in to hell!

Though they are oblivious of it!!

It’s a hard life, but someone has to live it, shame it’s him….

Today’s strip reminded me of “The Thirty-nine Steps”. I enjoyed John Buchan’s book and the three movie adaptions plus a TV adaption and a stage adaption.

John Buchan watched the first movie adaption which was directed by Alfred Hitchcock and added a lot to its rather short plot. Hitchcock is said to have asked Buchan during the screening of the movie if he liked the changes to his novel and Buchan is said to have replied, “Yes but can you tell me how it’s going to turn out?”

Only until elevators were invented, that is.

Yet the Fink remains a fat little runt.

He can roll down them with ease.

I’m thinking the king could do with getting himself a little cabin down by the moat so he doesn’t have to hike all over the castle for a midnight snack.

Silly Fink, don’t you know you could impress the peasants if you descended on an escalator ?

1%-ers? 1% of what?

I’m surprised he doesn’t make Rodney carry him up

And that’s just looking for the butler.

If the second panel is shortly after the first, Id is apparently in the Southern Hemisphere.

needs one of those Family Circus (Circle?) trails behind him for best effect!

I thought the fink goes up to his throne by hanging one of the peasants as a counterbalance.

or in my case, you wake up at the 5 star hotel at noon, eat big breakfast, then walk every step of the French Quarter like I did today.
