Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for November 09, 2023

You might just be surrounded…..

….again.

the Good news, you’re getting a fresh supply of ammo

It’s just a pointed reminder to pay your bills and insurance premiums.

It’s not the Western front but the arrows in the sand could be a scene from a western.

… so watch your western back.

I suppose if this is the American version of the Wizard of Odds, then the western front is Californio, and it can be said, “Gosh, Toto, it looks like we aren’t in Kansas any more!”

Arrows aren’t very noisy.

The battle of East Id!

Sure, the Western front is quiet, but the Eastern front is another matter.

If all they’re hitting is sand, then you don’t have too much to worry about.

I’m facing due East…. So, it looks like the Northern Front to me.

Why mentioned, not an issue before, as I recall?

Because it was first published November 10 1928! https://en.wikipedia.oRg/wiki/All_Quiet_on_the_Western_Front

The book was written by a German survivor of the war and dedicated to those who, although they escaped the bullets and shells were scarred by it none the less. It was an instant hit in Germany, France and the UK as it spoke to the men who’d been there regardless of uniform.

for those who haven’t read the book, (and for the love of god disregard that netflicks film form last year) you follow Paul Baumer through the horrors of WW1 as his friends slowly die around him. You learn about his fears his loves his hopes and his limitations. all that and on October 11, 1918, he dies. Everything you’ve seen is gone and is lost and all the official war office communique for the day says is “ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT” that is all his life counts for.

I think he is getting the point……oh excuse me ….not getting the point!!!!

You are right, that is either the northern or southern front, depending on if it is sun rise or sun set.

“You take it from me, we are losing the war because we can salute too well.”

― Erich Maria Remarque

“Our army is so massive, our arrows will blot out the sun!”

“Then we will fight in the shade!”

More like Wounded Knee

Mound Arrowrat.

The biggest threat to the US and its allies is China especially in the Far East. Look up Rapid Dragon system.

Viewed from where I’m sitting, those arrows would be coming from the east.

Good thing that they are bad shots……

Must be the Eastern front. They use it to make sure people do what their told.
