Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for January 16, 2022

While; That takes care of the upper half.

The Wizard has been watching too many super hero movies

Walking bottoms…does this take place in Washington DC?

Nothing left but asses.

Not only did he erase their top halves, but he turned them into Smurfs.

He didn’t specify which half.

“Fine. I’ll do it myself.” -Thanos

be careful what you wish for, and how. you might get exactly what you wish for, in most literal way

It wipes out only upper levels of humanity, it seems :)

If that were DC, those would be the pols.

I get the glove, but have no idea from where it belongs, but I can understand it. But, what about the bottoms? What are the glove supposed to control in it’s original version?

Bill Gates, is that you?

The secret origin of the Smurfs?

Today’s strip can be considered Machiavellian in that the Wizard planned to do something extremely ruthless for a humanitarian reason – solving the overpopulation problem. Machiavelli urged considering whether the ends justified the means and then doing the ruthless thing if the ends did justify it.

Must’ve been the wrong half. Try flipping the final stone, Wiz!

Thanos would laugh.

Anybody remember the “Walking Ware” china of the 1970s-80s?

? plus ??

Hahahahaha!!!!

The Wiz’s thumb is on the wrong side of his hand.

With my luck I would have wiped out all females and doomed the rest.

For that gauntlet, one has to specify which half.

I think that is being attempted as we write…

We already have something to knock out half the population it’s called covid

Oh look, he made republicans

Just say “Antwerp”.

Dr. Strangeglove?

So this is where Fauci got his idea! ‘Wipe out half the population and restore the balance’. I also remember reading Bill Gates’s, ‘Agenda 21’ suggesting the same thing.What a minute, don’t these guys know each other….hmmmm. I also think George Soros has a history of benefiting from this sort of behavior when he was a young lad.Such a puzzle. Anyway it looks like the Wiz is learning something.

Was it delivered by fedex? Tossing the package over the backyard may have messed up the Reality stone a bit

I think you need both gloves. Too much power for one wizard.

Wrong half?

As with all magic, you must be very specific in your requests as the superntural tends to operate at a literal and usually inappropriate manner if left to interpret things for itself.

I guess that’s what happens when you snap with your thumb on backwards

That would be a GROANER.

that is a right-handed glove on his left hand

Well, he was right; half the population is gone! LOLOL
