Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for November 27, 2021

We played musical chairs in grade school. By high school, we still used music, but we had moved on to other furniture.

Wait until you see how they play dodge ball.

Only in the king’s case it was low school.

It was a knight to remember….

Next week, tetherball with a morning star

Will probably be quite a bit bloodier than the schoolkids’ game…and given the looks of the contestants’ protective clothes, it might take a good deal longer to determine a winner. Right up the king’s tastes.

Oh look, it’s poor Yorick. Alas, I bearly knews him.

Those chairs look awfully small and weak and too close together for a competitive game of musical chairs considering the size of the competitors and the armor they’re wearing. I’d be surprised to see the chairs last one round.

When the princess gets there she will throw the winner a rose.

Trying to spice up the gladiatorial contests, Fink?

What a great alternative to war!

Medieval squid game.

The loser of each round gets beheaded.

That one guy looks like Boba Fet.

Finks other form of torture by music

Okay, I really want to see that contest. I won at musical chairs once. Yeah, only once.

So, 2 will get to fight over the remaining chair? ouchie.

The guy who doesn’t get a chair gets beheaded.

In my neighborhood we played musical AK-47’s. It kept down the rif-raf population.

Musical chairs to the death!

No

No.. just because all the kids were taller, it really was just grade school.

Our new woke society, has outlawed musical chairs. It offended so many people and considered to violent for grade school and the U.N. So it has been removed from history, along with dodge ball, kickball, Red Rover and many more.

This idea should reduce the amount of bloodshed in the arena… but, I’d wager, not eliminate it altogether.

Penalty of death if someone loses?

This is musical chairs played under Id rules. A free-for-all battle begins until one of the combatants is killed, at which point one of the chairs is removed and the battle continues. Last man standing gets the chair — and is he gonna need it, because he’ll be exhausted by then!
