Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for September 26, 2023

WOW, perfect timing!

Election season is upon us.

The politicians are preparing for $hit throwing.

How else will we arm our enemies and get our cash back That we Loaned them

Nah! The King has a whole basement of gold as witnessed in a few strips ago!

They are really in the trebuchet……

At least he’s not just giving them to his adversaries.

If it is, then you and Wiz may be out of jobs soon, Rod!

Google “The Rise and Fall of the Army Surplus Store”. TLDR: instead of throwing everything and the kitchen sink at wars, military actions are now budgeted precisely, so there’s no mil surp stuff for sale anymore after a major war. Oh, and the US not having been in a major war in a while. Most anything you see in a milsurp store these days are Chinese repros.

Can’ see the Fink being strapped. And do the Huns use catapults?

The ever popular DRMO lot.

Someone sold him the new, improved, invisible catapults, the same person was tailor to Marcus the Third

Sell them to Ukraine.

Tax the people more! MORE!!!

….just wait …tomorrow will be 45% off!!!!

Oh no not another one. The King said raise the debt ceiling!!!

I wonder if the US would be a better place if government surplus was simply given, free of charge, back to the citizens who paid for it in the first place. I don’t necessarily mean guns and bombs and all that, but packs, sleeping bags, clothes, barracks washing machines, computers and all that stuff.

Bet they could sell them to Iraq. Or Iran. Or Syria. Or Lebanon. Or one of those darn places. So difficult to keep them straight.

Maybe the king doesn’t need the catapults so much anymore since he has a wizard and a fire breathing dragon named Henry.

I don’t have any military hardware to sell you, but I do have military secrets I can give you a good deal on.

Sounds like a government that I’m familiar with. We’re over budget and don’t have money to cover our debts. Just write another check!

Instead of a slightly used catapult, I’ll take a couple of F-16s, two F/A-18s, a slightly used Nimitz class Aircraft carrier, and 6 M1A2 tanks, for starters. I’m a little low on cash at the moment , so would you take a Social Security check if I endorse it over to you?

The Pentagon’s having a one cent sale. (anyone remember?)

Looks like a Corporate Sell off for a Profit.

Our government just gives it away. Gives to Ukraine, gives to the Taliban.

Didn’t the USA just send them to Ukraine???

Send ’em to Ukraine.

Maybe, just making room for “NEW” and better weapons …… ;)

Just in time for pumpkin catapult season!

What the Russians will soon be using unless China and N. Korea resupplies them.

We are too but we just give our weapons to our enemies….

I need one of those…

Opportunity for the huns to buy and use on the fink.

Surplus like all the faulty stuff staff don’t want in the school district. Just cause the arm of a chair is bummy
