Wizard of Id - The King's Archery Practice -VANITY

I'm looking for a Wizard of Id cartoon by Johnny Hart. Sir Rodney & the Squire are watching the King begin archery practice. The King prepares to shoot at a blank wall.

Sir Rodney asks, "Where is the target?"

The Squire replies, "Just watch."

The King hits the blank wall and immediately a servant boy runs out with a paint bucket & brush. He proceeds to paint a target around the King's arrow, which ends up in the center of the bulls-eye.

I'm in the middle of writing a multimedia lesson on "Everything You Need to Know about Sin" based on the Greek word most used in the New Testament when talking about "Sin". The word, hamartia, is an archery term meaning "to miss the mark".

To illustrate this, I'm looking for a Wizard of Id cartoon by Johnny Hart. In it, Sir Rodney & the Squire are watching the King begin archery practice. The King prepares to shoot at a blank wall.

Sir Rodney asks, "Where is the target?"

The Squire replies, "Just watch."

The King hits the blank wall and immediately a servant boy runs out with a paint bucket & brush. He proceeds to paint a target around the King's arrow, which ends up in the center of the bulls-eye.

Do any Freepers have a link to this cartoon? Thanks!

That’s precisely how Kim Jong Il practiced!

Seriously?

Any links?

This is a good example of how the Antropocentric Global Warming agenda is executed.

I’ve looked for the Charlie Brown/Peanuts version more than once, so far without success, so I’ll settle for the one you find.

Thanks!

You have started me looking in the correct place. I’m going through these cartoons now. If I find it, I will post.

I’ve searched the website for some time. So far, I have not found it. I’ll keep looking.

Similar to what you described, but not exact:

Thanks for the link. As you say, it is similar, but not really what I was looking for.

Once my eyes get uncrossed, I’ll spend a few more hours looking through the archives. It is amazing how many cartoons Johnny Hart drew in his lifetime!

I’ve tried narrowing my search to:

arrow
archery
target
painted
King, Rod, Duke
archery practice

but most cartoons do not have keywords.
