Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for December 27, 2024

How do get up there and how do they get down?

Just an ordinary story ’bout the way things go, ’Round and around, nobody knows

But the highway goes on forever, That ol’ highway rolls on forever

Wait, I’ve seen this exact joke a while ago. I’m pretty sure it was in this strip.

Just went through a phone tree to try to get some help. I feel like I was Eschered a couple of times.

From that distance, they can still complain where you could hear them.

from Kafka’s Castle.

That Escher was great. This was hidden meaning in his art!

To talk to customer service press One. To talk to billing, press Two. To talk to someone who gives a ratsass, press the exact value of Pi.

I love that illusion!

Nice job on the stairs.

Very M C Escher-like

Wiz, don’t be mean. That’s something the king would do.

All steps lead to Helen Waite. If you don’t like it, go to Helen Waite.

Everybody has to get kicks somehow.

Maybe next Wiz can build an endless-energy producing structure from Escher’s “Waterfall”!

Escher would be proud. Wait, has the copyright expired?

Escherian Stairwell!

Chuckle! Good one, Wiz!

Oh jeez, that’s trippy. Optical illusion: 100

With a tip of the hat to M.C. Escher. From his 1960 lithograph Ascending and Descending. Inspired by the work of Lionel and Roger Penrose.

thank you Mr Escher

The only thing missing is the sign that says: IN CASE OF EMERGENCY, TAKE STAIRS.

Isn’t there a BELL like Arby’s has to confirm customer satisfaction?

I can’t picture the Fink giggling. (Laughing maniacally, maybe…..)

With a nod to M.C. Escher…

Escher = Math stuff. Very cool to look at.

………oh the comedy of it all!!!!

Have HR get on this, stat

Escher-style art is very hard to do without screwing up perspective, as happened here.

Escher would be spinning in his coffin by now!

The real secret to government success.

Not easy to draw like Escher. Good job.

Hmm very clever Wizard.

Nice. I’ve always liked those never-ending staircases.
