Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for December 11, 2023

Charlie Brown would approve.

Can’t Wiz just wave his wand and make the tree full again?

A REAL wizard would zap his own tree!

It was indeeds tough in them medieval times eh.

Blanche is blanching at those branches on this tree ranch…..

To everyone in the Christmas Tree industry

You all do a great job! Stand up and take a bough!

The whole Christmas tree trend started because people thought it would spruce things up a bit.

We bought a beautiful proportioned 3 foot live Christmas tree four years ago. It was planted on New Years day. It has grown into the weirdest evergreen in our yard. Must be too close to the septic drain field….

Have yourself a Charlie Brown Christmas!

Going with the mulch candidates, huh, Wiz?

At least it already has a stand…….bonus!

He just did in yesterdays comic!

Not too long ago used cars were called used cars and they were sold as such on used car lots. I’m always amused when I see cars sold as “pre owned”. Somehow that term is supposed to make them better.

He can zap it up a little…

I have Bruce the Spruce. He’s in a pot on the table. He’s 5" tall this year.

So, Wizard of Id is set AFTER Peanuts? Those trees look like one of them could easily have been “pre-owned” by Charlie Brown.

What’s the foliage on that model?

You can get an artificial one for about the same as a real one and use it year after year. LESS, if you buy it after Christmas!

I may never buy a Xmas tree again. I have a cedar growing in my front yard and an artificial in the LR. And both are lit up.

Wiz, just make your own tree. You did that yesterday.

The ones on the left look like they could be relatives of Quagmire’s date, Gloria, in today’s UFO strip.

I ordered some chocolate on Amazon, and it came with a sticker on it saying, “Not used.” I wondered if they always put a sticker like that on food. I wouldn’t.
