Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for November 19, 2023

Rosebud…

Nothing like a new hip!

Lol, he looks like a Green Santa.

Speaking of child, does Wizard has any offspring?

Now you live with an invalid, probably with a bad temper and some magical powers.

Wizard, heal thyself!

Child in mind. Old man in body.

(Sometimes the body just can’t quite keep up with the mind.)

A child who is going to need medical attention!

I had a short sled that you would run and dive on to it. Had to Google it but it was Flexible Flyer. If I did something like that today it would be last thing I ever did.

Sheesh the hip or knee is the party pooper of old age

Adults are just kids with a lot more experience.

I hear magic can fix a broken hip!

child at heart. :J

It’s all fun and games until the EMTs arrive.

Berke Breathed was fond of saying that it’s never too late to have a happy childhood.

I think we now see the error of his line of thought.

Many years ago when my daughter was about 15, she made some smart comment about how I was old and slow. Male pride kicked in and I said, “I’ll race you!!” So the three of us went to the local school to conduct the sprint. One the way there the Mrs said “Are you sure this is a good idea?” My response was roughly “Harumph! Harumph!” We set up a 50 yrd course, and when Mom yelled “Go,” my daughter was off like a shot. Then she turned around and finished the course running backwards and STILL beat me. While the young one was doing her victory dance, the Mrs said, “I tried to warn you.” Me: “Harumph, Harump.” So I had to buy ice cream cones all around. To this day it is still one of my most cherished memories.

Never give up that child spirit! Your grands will love you.

Not that funny at his age, I hope that he has a bone healing spell and knows how to use it…..

He put trousers on at least.

Isn’t Wizard supposedly centuries old? I figure he’s really good at making his body indestructible using spells.

Sledding isn’t for the frail

The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak!!!!

Age really knows how to hurt a guy.

As a kid I loved snow, decades later, shoveling it bleah.
