History ComicStrip / TheWizardOfId

* TunnelKing: The Spook. He can tunnel out of prison relatively easily, he just can't keep from getting caught again

* PrisonersLastMeal: Often PlayedForLaughs. For example, in one Sunday strip, Turnkey asks a condemned prisoner what he wants to eat before he's hanged; "a helium sandwich", says the guy. In another strip, Turnkey tells spook that a hoagie about twenty feet long is for "Dirty Dirk", who hangs tomorrow, although the sandwich will clearly take a week to eat.

* AnimatedAdaptation: In TheSeventies, Abe Levitow and Creator/ChuckJones produced a five-minute long animated short with the Wizard of Id characters. Voices were done by Bob Holt, Creator/DonMessick and Creator/PaulWinchell. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6aIBWM24ZCQ&t=79s Watch it]] on Youtube.

* MagicalBarefooter: The Wizard DoesNotLikeShoes.

''The Wizard of Id'' is a daily newspaper comic strip created by American cartoonists Johnny Hart (''ComicStrip/{{BC}}'') and Brant Parker. Launched in 1964, the strip follows the antics of a large cast of characters in a [[{{Ruritania}} shabby medieval kingdom called "Id"]]. From time to time, the King refers to his subjects as "[[SurroundedByIdiots Idiots]]". The title is a play on ''Film/TheWizardOfOz'', combined with the Freudian psychological term Id, which represents the instinctive and primal part of the human psyche.

* PoliticalCorrectnessGoneMad: An old strip had the King of Id threatening to imprison anyone caught telling ethnic jokes. When Rodney quips, "We don't have a Chinaman's chance of making that stick," the next panel shows Rodney in the dungeon.

Brant handed art duties over to his son Jeff Parker in 1997. When Hart died a decade later, his grandson Mason Mastroianni took over both ''Wizard of Id'' and Hart's other strip, ''ComicStrip/{{BC}}'', although unlike on ''B.C.'', he only handled writing duties until Jeff Parker's retirement in 2015.

* SaintBernardRescue

* SingleMaltVision: When a guard tries to arrest Bung for public intoxication, Bung claims that he can't be arrested if he can walk between two lines. Of course, there's only one line there.

* GagNose: Although almost every male character in the strip (except for the Wizard, the King, and the Duke) is drawn with an absurdly large nose, only Rodney's is typically commented on in-universe.
