Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for October 20, 2023

Gutter fall

Why doesn’t he just use his magic.

He has his ups and downs. This is the latter off the ladder.

Wiz, couldn’t you have done that with a flick of the wand?

He does his own stunts.

Blanch nearly got a ladder in her stockings……

It looks like she must have put her knitting aside – probably expecting him to drop in soon after his “announcement” in the second panel.

Gutter language for gutter cleaning?

Paddy and Murphy playing football in the gutter.

Paddy fell off the roof.

Today I held the ladder for my dad while he was cleaning the gutters out, in the rain no less.

An acorn rolls down the newly cleaned out gutter, making quite a racket and falling down the drain spout.

Dad: “Looks like I got a strike! Well, actually, more like a gutter ball!”

I was going to tell my friend a terrible bowling joke.

But then I spared him.

A roofer was decapitated today while telling a dirty joke to his co-worker

I’m not sure what the joke was, but somebody should get his head out of the gutter.

Should he be cleaning gutters at his age !

Guess Wiz is recharging his wand.

No gutters …..no cleaning!

remember it’s @ before # except after $

Wiz is on the Eve of destruction.

This is expected? Stay away from the windows, I guess.

Good name for a gutter cleaning company could come from his misfortune.. .“Gutter Wizard”.

Autumn make the Wiz a fall guy!

“And why is the carpet all wet, Todd?” “I don’t know, Margo!”

It’s still an accident, even if it is predictable.

The Wiz should contract Crankshaft to do the job.

The Count remembers an old episode of Ozzie and Harriet where Ozzie was cleaning the gutters wearing coveralls over his shirt and tie…

Oy! She was expecting a quiet day….

More fun than a slip and slide.

Scene from Christmas Vacation, almost

I think this is one of the funniest Wizard of Id strips in some time!

Misplaced your Magic Wand …… “AGAIN” ….. didn’t you Wizard …… :)

Because his magic is faulty…usually

I’m afraid to ask about the knitting needles!

Looks like someone is getting tips from Crankshaft.

Just hanging around, thought I’d drop in.
