Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for April 14, 2023

Today’s strip reminds me of a 1950s TV show called The Adventures of William Tell. I recently watched reruns of it on Freeview Channel 82 here in the UK:

“Come away, come away with William Tell,

Come away to the land he loved so well,

What a day, what a day when the apple fell,

For Tell and Switzerland.

Come away with Tell to the mountainside,

Look down at the path where the tyrants ride,

Set a bow, set a bow and down they’ll go,

For Tell and Switzerland.

Hurry on, hurry on, there’s a dungeon cell,

Hurry on, hurry on, there’s a noose as well,

But we’ll escape from the jaws of Hell,

For Tell and Switzerland."
