Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for May 19, 2023

Enough to rekindle your spirits and warm your cockles

Where I live people are getting heating bills for $9,000 a month. Those are from utility companies who release updates in their computer programs without testing them properly first.

Seems like Id is in the southern hemisphere. It’s summer up here and the Wiz needs to keep warm.

Invite Henry your Dragon to come in and help you get it started for you… At least he could breath some fire on it.

Forget the bills. Burn the mailman.

What a great invention for a castle. A place heater to put a fire. We can even name it a fireplace for short.

Centuries never change.

I’m curious to know what king of heating service the kingdom was providing before you bypassed them.

Odd. That’s what I do with those pesky bills.

Now, why would a wizard need a heater. He can just shoot out some lightning bolts from his wand to heat up the house. For that matter, maybe his magic house would take care of all that.

Now you’re getting a wood burning stove? What the heck were you using before and who was charging you for it? Never mind. It’s Friday. Grab a stick and a hot dog and enjoy your new freedom.

Checkmate, utilities bill!

If it were really that easy?

True! Yip yip yip yip yip

Hmm not a bad idea

Now that you’ve built your own heater that burns “…wood, paper, or anything to keep the place warm…” you can expect a stern shutdown and fine(s) from the king’s EPA director tomorrow.

oh the irony
