Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for March 11, 2021

Rodney, have you been telling some falsehoods to someone? It seems that your nose has grown to be longer than your arm. And I can think of only one reason that might be true.

Did the door really win the battle? Rodney has a battle wound, but he won (getting through the door).

His real Nemesis seems to be his not paying attention (to the sign on the door). That battle and war will probably continue to be a challenge to him.

Hope Rodney never meets a “Push me Pull you!”

It’s time for…

WoI: The biggest. Adventure. Ever. – Part 4a (written with Rodney’s perspective)

I couldn’t believe that someone like Huns kidnapped my girlfriend. And I planned to propose next day! But enough of those feelings! Wizard, Blanche, Bung and me landed near the Huns’ village. We wanted to be unseen, so we decided to use Bung as a lure. He protested, but Wiz said: “How about we’ll give you later some beer ?” Bung changed his mind and the rest of all hid behind a bush. To attract Huns, Bung cried: “YOOOOO, BEAR TIME!!!” “When?!” the villagers asked. “Now!” Bung answered. The warriors took him to drink with him. Meanwhile, I was tiptoeing with Wiz and Blanche to one of tents. Turns out, Gwen wasn’t in the tent. We were going out of there, when Huns nailed us. Attilla, the chief of the Huns, told them to tie us to a big, wooden pole. It was really hard to get out.

That’s what ya get for being an illiterate.

Rodney’s enemy is a pull door. The black Knight must be laughing his armor off.

Wait till he gets to the door marked lift…..

My money’s on the door to win the war!

I don’t have a nemesis. I think I must be doing something wrong. I wonder how one goes about finding a nemesis. Is there a club? A society? Perhaps a book I could read? “Desperately seeking Nemesis.”

I have a nemesis. It’s my cat. I lose the fight, every time I try to give him a bath.

Ah – the early warning system.

If the door is his old Nemesis someone needs to tell him he’s already lost the war.

I learned the word, “nemesis” in 9th grade English. I was taught it meant a deserved fate, from the Greek goddess of justice.

“A righteous infliction of retribution manifested by an appropriate agent.” – https://www.yourdictionary.com/nemesis

Said sideshow bob to the rake…..

Yes it has. “Katie, bar the door”…….

Reminds me of one of my favorite Far Side cartoons. Midvale School For the Gifted student pushing on a door clearly marked pull. Thank you Gary Larson.
