Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for December 09, 2023

Too late.

They are an incredible reservoir of viruses. Good for developing bio-weapons……

Couple years late?

Well, a Batman’s mask wouldn’t be of much use, would it?

What is his motive there?

Ha. It more likely came outta a lab. Now waitsaminute. Wiz is the only one with a lab in Id. Hmmm….

Na.Na.Na.Na….bat mask….bat mask….

Bat’s all folks.

Are you sure that you’re not just masking the problem, Wiz?

Masks were debunked by authorities as being useless. I still see people wearing them. Yesterday at the store, a woman had one on, and had it pulled down. Why?

If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.

I thought the first comment would be asking how he got the bats to sit still so he could mask them.

New Batman in town!!!!!

This reminds me of the Bat Bomb Project back in World War Two. Check it out if you want to learn about a government project taken to the wildest of extremes.

I have absolutely no idea what this is about. Someone please enlighten me!

well, they aren’t leaving the cave, they’re just hanging around. nothin to do but frown

True science will never tell you it’s safe. It’s might give best odds based on current data. As another ‘toon recently said; ♫ I’ve got the horse right here. ♫

Maybe it refers to White Nose Syndrome that is killing bat colonies.

Sometimes it’s better to leave mysteries mysterious. There’s endless debates about who Tom Bombadil is, which is an example of keeping something a mystery makes people more interested, while on the opposite spectrum the original SW trilogy leaving the “Clone Wars” a mystery was good for it, but by revealing what it was in the prequel trilogy kind of ruined it for many fans and is one reason I think it was criticized back in the day.

China that close to id?

sleep masks??

Don’t tell me that Covid is returning… Please don’t tell me that…

So … we’re looking at bats who are going to starve to death first?

EAR M U F F S, D U M M Y…

If only people would wear masks when ‘they’ are sick.

SAVE THE BATS!!!!!

Me too??? Masking up the bats from covid maybe. A reach for humor!

Bats have been affected by the white nose virus since 2006. White-nose syndrome (WNS) is the fungal disease killing bats in North America. Research indicates the fungus that causes WNS, Pseudogymnoascus destructans, is likely exotic, introduced from Europe. What started in New York in 2006 has spread to more than half of the United States and five Canadian provinces by August 2016, leaving millions of dead bats in its path. WNS causes high death rates and fast population declines in the species affected by it, and scientists predict some regional extinction of bat species. These include the once numerous little brown bat (Myotis lucifugus) and federally listed Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis) and northern long-eared bat (Myotis spetentronalis).

An attempt to protect them from the “flew”?

possibly alluding to the rumor (or fact) that covid started with bats in china
