Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for March 22, 2022

My excuse was I have a cat on my lap!

I can’t do this. My cats rest on my head. No salvation!

A lap dragon?

I’m too lazy to do the dishes. That excuse didn’t work either.

Just go help with the dishes, it’s quicker and less painful in the end.

The trick is you should have gently levitated Henry up into your lap without waking him up. Wouldn’t every good wizard have known that?

Surely he should have some magic spell to clean the dishes without much effort.

There’s a tell-tail sign of a tale told.

In my house it’s called; get up and get youbutt out here to do dishes.

…and they say to let sleeping dragons lie

Cats are great for all sorts of things!https://www.gocomics.com/offthemark/2022/03/21?ct=v&cti=2146857

Oh, Wiz. Just do your part. Quit dragon out the inevitable.

I’m old. My excuse was “That’s women’s work”. I know that doesn’t fly today but life was simpler back than and I would argue it was better.

Let the wand do it

Ok Wiz, stop dragon your feet…

But Henry will be in later to help you dry them…

As good an excuse as any, Wiz.

Mrs cooks, I do the dishes and she dries. I cook, Mrs does the dishes and I dry. Simple enough.

She does the dishes, I do the laundry…

I can’t come out, the pup wants to play tug of war.

That’s news to Henry!

This sorcerer needs an apprentice (a la Fantasia).

If Henry was a dog, I would let it slide. But he’s a dragon, so….. I’d still let it slide.

If Henry was actually on your lap, Wiz, you’d be squashed on the floor!

All you have to do is drop one, maybe two dishes and you’ll never be asked to wash dishes again. Pro Tip: Don’t try that with the baby to get out of changing diapers. Just leave the diapers loosely fastened.

Oh sure, drag me into this.

Wiz found a way to get out of washing the dishes. If Henry put himself on Wiz’s lap, that would be funnier!

Couldn’t he just zap them clean?

Three of our rescue dogs are purebred hounds weighing 60-70 pounds. All of them think they are lap dogs. We call it being hounded.
