What weasel words? george 23:38, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

The Wizard of Oz
I added the mention of The Wizard of Oz being the source of the name, even though I have no source. If anyone objects, please let me know and I'll remove it.

Discontinued?
I've heard rumors the strip is being discontinued since Parker and Hart are both gone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by US 71 (talk • contribs)


 * Nope. Check out http://www.comics.com/creators/wizardofid/
 * To our editors and readers: Please note that there will be no disruption of service for "The Wizard of Id" comic strip. Jeff Parker has been the artist and co-writer for the past 10 years and will continue his work with the strip. He was privileged to work under the tutelage of his father, beloved cartoonist Brant Parker, for 10 years before Brant's retirement in 1997. Jeff Parker and the Hart family look forward to continuing a longtime tradition of comic excellence. Thank you for your continued support of "The Wizard of Id."

Il Mago
Should this link, referring to a newspaper, really go to a page about an Italian sportsman? Yankoz —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.57.20.50 (talk) 02:42, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Larson
The quote from Gary Larson comes from his book "The Prehistory of the Far Side", and was in relation to the complaints he got from the more "black humored" of his own cartoons. He wonders if the creators of "Wizard of Id" get the same feedback as he does. MBG 117.102.149.81 (talk) 14:33, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Update
the lead of the article states how many newspapers it was in during 2002, however that is terribly out of date WikiWiki (talk) 01:02, 19 April 2011 (UTC)

Blanche?
Hasn't her name, at least some of the time, been rendered as "Blanch"? Cactus Wren (talk) 05:00, 20 June 2011 (UTC)

Another thing about Blanche (& The Wizard): With the change in authorship the two now seem to genuinely love each other and have shared some sweet moments over the past few years. Perhaps an update to the character note is needed? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.202.33.17 (talk) 04:37, 22 March 2021 (UTC)

Obvious allusions to American Society
Does it not bear mention - or is it simply too obvious - that the allusions to "perpetual war" with the "Huns", and a large "peasantry", are thinly-veiled references to modern American society, where war is indeed perpetually waged as a means of subjugating the people, and the great majority are, in actuality, quite poor by the standards of other "Western" nations?

Ethics of Attribution
Is it honest or ethical to continue to attribute the column in print to Brant Parker and Johnny Hart many years after their deaths?

 * I don't know about honest or ethical, but it appears to be the comic strip standard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.119.114.118 (talk) 14:15, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

The Lone Haranguer
https://www.gocomics.com/wizard-of-id-classics/2016/08/07 indicates that the Lone Haranguer has been identified(by him stealing a horse then riding off taunting the King after being released on account of being a Native Indian) yet still escaped. Shall we correct the Page?2001:569:7E1C:E300:8164:ACEC:EEAF:63F0 (talk) 07:02, 9 July 2020 (UTC)
