Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for November 29, 2009

Give it back to the king. Maybe it’ll put him out of his misery.

That test was quick: in fact he did it on the fly.

Hey, Spook has his own food taster!

Payback for the fly.

At first I thought the fly was just buzzed.

Hey waiter, there’s a soup in my fly!

———–

“Uh, just what do you call this recipe?”

“We were thinking of calling it Death to the King, but that would be a little too obvious…”

I just don’t think that’ll fly.

Dawg, if a fly can eat it (shudder).

\\//_

Spook’s no dummy, that’s for sure.

Who would have thunk Spook would NEED a taster!

You folks have all explained a comic strip that needed no explaining. Bravo!

Gawd I LOVE these comments!

Who’s explaining? We’re just messing with the heads of you hyper-literalists, Pete1970! :))

If Spook choked and passed out on it instead of the fly, then I bet the guard would’ve told the fink that Spook said the soup is fine.

“Death by Chowder.”

Fink ain’t no fool!

Today’s strip can be found @ www.comics.com

Thanks BC13. Shawshank.

Joe - You have to know the original movie. In the movie, “Painless” was the nickname of the unit’s dentist who committed sucide.
