Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for February 07, 2025

Tim Taylor’s gg-g-g-g-g-grandfather?

Slightly overshot. Now you are in trebuchet.

Isaac Newton would be flummoxed!.

Didn’t know that BMW produces trebuchets.

“The Man in the Moon came down too soon,

And asked his way to Norwich,

He came from the South and burned his mouth,

Eating cold plum porridge."

Today’s strip may show how the Man in the Moon came down too soon.

I suppose a catapult would be useful against infantry if it were loaded with a bunch of smaller rocks. Kind of like a shotgun compared to a cannon.

Isn’t that a (doga) catapult instead of a trebuchet?

The Moon. Now with new craters!

Careful don’t hit the cybertruck. Leon would get upset.

Just a liiiiiiiiiiiittle bit too high.

I think the engineering is fine. Your aim is off. With that velocity, you would tear through the entire horde.

I used that as an explanation at a WW1 re-enactment. The Royel Engineers don’t fight but maintain the communication lines and such, one man was sitting turning a tin can into a cup as another trooper watched he said “You can just buy a tin cup from the suttlers” IO said “Shh don’t meddling with him while he’s over engineering.”

Coming soon WAR OF THE WORLDS:MIDDLE AGES

What is that a little alien saying dude?

It wasn’t supposed to do that!

Ya think?

The impartial observer trope seems to be picking up. A few Sundays ago, Spook had to comment on someone crashing through his cell

“Swing and a miss”!!!!!

Mercedes does it all the time

Seveneves.

Should have used a cow.

A catapult that fits on Earth can’t do that. Not enough energy. You’d need to crank it to infinity.

Don’t be giving Elon any new ideas!

Don’t let Poncho get that, I like kitties

Still safer than a Space-X rocket.

Bleeb, what are you doing leaving “Close to Home”?

Nice shot but truth be told, the moon’s gravitational pull helped….

Awesome power. Crummy accuracy. Unless you make the Moon fall on the Huns.

Shoot lower and send the Huns.

Tell that to Musk.

the dude was in the trebuchet or ON the moon?

You may want to take a mulligan on that shot, Wizard.

And the Alien observers in orbit are freaking out!
