Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for November 13, 2024

Not really. I know you need an upward flow of water to fluidize the sand. Don’t know how common or rare it is.

I DO know it inherently has to be denser than pure water, so most can float in quicksand.

This one escaped me.

Quicksand was always very unrealistically depicted in old TV shows and movies. It’s virtually impossible to drown by sinking to the bottom, since quicksand is denser than the human body.

Quick sand?

Nice to know how really rare stuff will kill you!

Did you know some people have a quicksand fetish? Just let that sink in…

How do you make an hourglass go faster?

You fill it with quicksand.

Hey Charlie let me ask you something, what isn’t exactly water and isn’t exactly earth??? Quicksand!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s a good thing this isn’t real life. Random quicksand for life!

Favorite use of quicksand in TV or movies? Mine are Blazing Saddles and the episode of Gilligan’s Island where Mr. Howell faked his death.

Ugh. Not in short supply here. Be glad to let the coasts have some of the rain to help with the fires.

Yep, growing up, I thought it was around every corner and in every woods. Never found any.

Where is a snake that you can use as a rope to pull free when you need one?

Mud? I guess the Wiz was hibernating during the election season.

Hay Wiz! Your are a cartoon, It’s not real life!

Hard to find in the “concrete jungle”!!!!!

He’s excited about quicksand?

Quicksand. People only drown in it in movies, your average quicksand pool is about three feet deep.

“The Wizard of Id,” real life?

If that was a narrow path and if what they’re in was bottomless, I know a few artists I would send down that path

They are definitely “stuck in a ruck!”

Quick. Call Sandy!

Quicksand and rattlesnakes were the most popular hazards in the western comic books.

That’s the truth. When I was a kid I thought quicksand would be a major hazard in life (judging by movies and TV), but I have yet to encounter any and I’m retired.

Take the road less traveled, ooops.

It won’t be rare for long, what with Trump getting ready to cause even more climate change.

They have a sinking sensation.

They better hope somebody comes along and saves em?

Apparently Wiz just found a side job selling mud and knows a good marketing agent.
