Wizard of Id by Parker and Hart for January 20, 2022

If it works for Kal-El ….

He went with the shades instead of changing himself to look like someone else with a spell.

Or, as Parker noted in a (much) earlier strip, the Wiz is surrounded by “ID-iots.”

So am I.

Reminds me of Overcats’ often repeated refrain:

“I’m surrounded by incompetents”

Aviator sunglasses. They look cool. Hide the vacant look in the eyes. And yes, it works on all the fools.

Only Spider-Man and Daredevil, of the many Marvel heroes, have a secret identity. (There may be a few others, but by FAR the most dont). So panel 2 is incorrect.

So … will the name of this new character be revealed tomorrow?

Any one else hearing the “Superman” theme?

Mind you, I don’t remember seeing any phone booths in id for him to change in….

Might’ve put that in a thought bubble instead of a speech bubble.

Hee hee. This Gentleman is me secret identity disguise, while I really is a bear. But nobody knows that I is.. Oh Whoopsie. Did I days that aloud? Don’t tells anyone, okay.

He’s disguised as Bono?

“Look, up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s SUPERWIZ!”

Clark Kent.

It worked for the phony Trump Lol

incognito and loving it.

I don’t know. I sort of lean towards Super Heros wanting to be Wizards.

The choice of glasses style is a nice nod to Stan Lee.

The wiz in the last panel reminds me of Stan Lee….sniff RIP Stan

To anyone but the Fink, that’s a poor secret identity.

No guts, no glory. No cape, no story.

Clark Kent did more than take off his glasses.

Maybe it’s the king who needs glasses.

Got that right….

Somehow, I doubt Superman would have gotten by with just glasses as a disguise if he was still wearing his costume.

Oops!

Did he just say that out loud? In front of the king?

He’s Scar from The Lion King. Not really a superhero, though.

Aren’t we all?

Even Clark Kent changes his clothing.

Works for Clark Kent.

Comic Book Myopia; where eyeglasses or a skinny black mask completely change your appearance.

Great shades of Pastis (or Thaves)! That is almost a pun!
