Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for October 27, 2023

The Wiz is in trousers? Never thought I would see the day.

The fanged Rodney is enought to make me bar the door and lock the windows!

Tomorrow might be the 147th anniversary of the Headless Horseman becoming the Headless Horseman. It was on October 28th 1776 that a Hessian trooper got his head blown off at The Battle of White Plains. Washington Irving states in “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow” that some residents believed the Headless Horseman to have had his head blown off at some Revolutionary War battle. Later on, at the party at the Van Tassel Mansion, residents give their accounts of their role in Revolutionary War battles. Two local battles are mentioned including The Battle of White Plains. The residents of Sleepy Hollow all exaggerate their roles in the battles.

As I’ve mentioned before, I live in Chester in northwest England. Washington Irving lived in Liverpool for three years and in Birmingham for seven years. It was in Birmingham that he wrote his stories “Rip Van Winkle” and “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow”. He often visited Chester during his time in Liverpool and Birmingham. He visited a pub called The Headless Woman in Duddon near Chester. He mentions seeing a maypole in Chester in one of his writings. Also, Sleepy Hollow is in Westchester County, New York.

“Nice headless horse, man!”

Nice headless horse, man.

Brojack Horseman celebrates Halloween?

The Wiz looks like a cross between Wario and 2 other things. Who would wear blue tights?

Horse and man ………no head???

Seems pretty authentic, not gonna lie.

His head is on loan to some guys making a movie about somebody’s godmother or godfather or something.

get your own page for all this! It’s a comic strip for crip sakes!

Is the horse’s head appearing in “The Godfather?”

Are we sure that’s a costume?

Bojack! Oh no!

I remember a Halloween commercial for snickers that had a Horseless Headsman.

I don’t think that’s a costume. You might want to don that handy dandy leather neck costume. He, or whatever, seems to be in the market for a head.

Wow bojack is very committed

Headless BoJack Horseman?

But …. it’s Headless Horseman ……. “NOT” ….. Headless Horse ….. ;O

What are YOU doing here?

I don’t think Rod would make a very good vampire, his nose would always be getting in the way of his work.

I was expecting something more riveting like the “Headless Centaur of Attention”

I see that Charlie Brown has finally gotten the hang of using them scissors…!

Wiz looks like Jesse Ventura calling a wrestling match in the 80’s

I thought that it might be the rest of Jack Woltz’s horse, from “The Godfather”

Are you sure that’s a costume???

Isn’t that a character in the new Ducktales?
