Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for November 23, 2021

The Wiz is worthy?!

The enemy? Two kids and a dog!

So the Wizard is worthy???

What’s an accio wand? It kind of looks like Thor’s hammer. Sometimes you have to know the inside joke to understand the day’s comic.

‘Accio’ is Harry Potter-speak for ‘come here’, I think.

You got a dragon Wiz. Why not have Henry do a few dragon farts on the front gate area. That way there will be no fire damage. But if something has fire coming out on the front end, must have something really nasty coming out the back end.

Why is one of the Led Zeppelin symbols from the “Zoso” album on the hammer? Does it belong to Jimmy Page?

Just seeing the look on The Fink’s face!

The Wiz is a victim of a Chinese bait and switch online advertising scam. Like… order a cool looking astronomical clock (two, actually), wait four months and get a cheap, self assembly cardboard thing with instructions on the box in broken English that isn’t even close to the ad and don’t even THINK abut trying to return it. Told to me by a friend and Believe It or Not! Believe it…

The Wiz has been reading too much Harry Potter.

so you’re gonna go all Thor on them.

I assume the recycling comment is on how “worthy” he is.

When the Wiz “Harry Potters” Thors hammer, you know it’s going to be a real bad day for someone.

It’s getting to be that I don’t understand this comic more than I do.

Really, combining two different franchises like that?

chris hemsworth voice a word with you, wizard….

This will never work, we all know the truth “The Wiz is not Worthy” Hammer is a Cheap Knock Off.

Of course, only 30% of the Wizard’s stuff actually gets recycled. Just putting an emblem on something doesn’t make it happen. Even the things he does recycle probably only get used once more before winding up in a magical landfill.

I’m just trying to make the point that most of the plastic “recycling” is just industry magicians manipulating smoke and mirrors.

Another recycled joke.

I don’t understand this even a little…“ACCIO Wand”, the symbol on the hammer. What am I missing?

But is he worthy?

I think Thor wants a word with you, Wiz.

Thor’s Hammer might be as good as Wiz’s wand.

Mjölnir

I think the joke is that Wiz is “worthy” of the hammer because he recycles.

ACCIO Beer

Funny, in frames 2 and 3, his left arm is missing!

It’s two jokes. The first is the aforementioned Harry Potter reference. The second is Thor’s hammer. Only those who are worthy can lift Thor’s hammer. The Wizard qualifies because he’s been separating his recycling.

Any competent wizard would have his wand on him at all times. Also, how can you summon a wand without a wand in your hand?
