Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for October 17, 2023

Didn’t even bother to draw a single leaf

Read “Leaf By Niggle” out of one of Tolkein’s follow-on books. It’s an easy search, and available as a short story in pdf format.

Hagar, BC, Garfield, all with orange hair.

Jim Davis hasn’t bothered to draw impressively for decades.

Oh, wow. Computer colors. How 1970s.

Are they seriously proud of this ugly mess?

I guess Roger Ebert was right. Cartoons will never be art.

Not even close! Arlo and Janis, then Calvin and Hobbes, Hi and Lois, Frazz and Rose is Rose

You don’t like the outdoors?

Unbe-leaf-able.

What a wonderFall world!

What is the cutest season of the year?

Awwwtumn.

With all the pumpkins around, autumn is definitely the most gourd-geous season.

I’m expecting a de-leaf-ery.

Nobody’s gonna fall for that.

Can’t see the forest or the trees or the leaves for all the colors.

Nice

and that’s why you guys were invaded last week…https://www.gocomics(dot)com/wizardofid/2023/10/11

Looks like another sunny day at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument.

I wish go-comics had Hagar!

Yooooo, hey, Garfield! Good to see ya!

Painted desert!

I beg to differ, I have the best view in the fall, living on a hillside in a forest, it’s Magnificent!!! I can see four ridgelines, Winter is beautiful also.

I live in south Texas and my daughter lives in Wisconsin. Every morning she sends me a picture of the fall foliage. I send her a picture of a cactus.

Must have planned on it….and invited friends.

I just don’t see it?

You don’t often see that much use of Ben Day dots………. well, outside The Phantom strip.

Sure looks like autumn to me !

Nice nod to other strips.

Back in the 80s we lived in Connecticut and every autumn we enjoyed the great fall foliage, except for one year when we had an invasion of gypsy moths and they had stripped the trees completely by July. It looked like November that summer. The following year the trees had recovered but the squirrels were gone.

Okay. ID has color. Not bad.

This is kind of pretty, but not particularly funny, IMO.

Our newspaper was in B&W, not pretty at all.

October 11th, the Huns came to view the leaves changing…. maybe THEY took the trees.
