To Be or Not To Be Dazzled

I’m Dan Piraro, the creator of the Bizarro newspaper comic, and this is my weekly blog post. The large Sunday comic above is mine, as are all of the below-cartoon comments to follow.

Since January 2018, the Monday-Saturday Bizarro comics have been written and drawn by my comics partner, Wayno. For more fun, check out Wayno’s weekly blog post.

And here’s this week’s ANSWER KEY to my Sunday comic’s Secret Symbols.

Howdy, Jazz Pickles. It’s nice to imagine your face again.

Let’s start with a quick mention of my Naked Cartoonist creative writing project. I posted a story yesterday titled “Life With a Hand Up Your Butt” that is all about puppets, Muppets, and humanity. Here’s an excerpt:

“We may think puppets are nothing more than children’s toys, but I’m fascinated by the power they wield over us psychologically. Though we know they are not alive, we can easily be mesmerized by them, buying into their feigned words and movements until we are fully captivated by a construction of fabric scraps or wood. In a clever ventriloquism act, it is the puppet that has us in stitches, not the human.”

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll take a nap afterward to recover your strength. For $5 a month (less than a Starbucks coffee), you can read all my weird musings and help to support my work as a creative kook trying to make the world a smarter and funnier place.

Thanks to all of you who subscribe. You are deeply appreciated.

Item #2 this week: I’m happy to see that a certain government admitted there was never any vandalism of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, and that the problems it experienced were due to the crappy contractor hastily hired.

This comes as a surprise to a vanishingly small percentage of Americans. Most of us have already realized that anything the bullies who’ve taken over our junior high school say cannot be trusted.

Sadly, the Antifa Algae & Boxknife Terrorism Ninjas will now have to look for another target—maybe Lake Michigan or the Great Salt Lake. Of course, they’re going to need a bigger boxknife.

Finally, I have a correction for last week’s post. That cool house shown in the photo below, which I reported was in San Luis Obispo, is actually in Santa Barbara, California. Thanks to the several Jazz Pickles who pointed that out.

Olive Oyl does all the driving on these road trips, while I gaze out the windows in a haze of reverie, barely knowing what day it is or where I am. It’s a necessary reboot of my otherwise busy mind.

Time now to reboot our chuckle buttons with Wayno’s Bizarro comics from the week…

Unfortunately, I have the real kind, although I think it may have helped me write cartoons.

I tried this compliment on Olive Oyl, but she didn’t like it. It may only work on people with those circular stickers on their head and chest.

That’s the only kind I’d attend, not out of modesty, but because I have a sensitive gag reflex.

I’m pretty sure I’ve been to that show.

Frankenstein’s monster, made of multiple people's parts, is a metaphor for us all, genetically speaking.

I hate to have to tell those little men that book will not tell them where to find little women.

That concludes this week’s chuckle chapter, Jazz Pickles. We hope you enjoyed our silly scribbles and comments. If you did, please consider helping us keep this page free of charge and ads via the links below. We’ll dance in gratitude like giddy leprechauns.

And here’s this week’s ANSWER KEY‍ to my Sunday comic’s Secret Symbols.

Hello again, Jazz Pickles, or for the first time, stranger.

My partner Olive Oyl and I returned this week from our two-week sojourn up the coast of Southern California. We visited various family members and friends along the way, and, before heading back to Mexico, we spent a couple of days in San Luis Obispo, a charming little town in Central California that we wish we could afford to live in.

It’s not that San Luis Obispo is a gated community for millionaires, but these days, you have to be a millionaire to live in any city in the US that O2 and I would want to wake up in daily. Prices on everything from gas to groceries, and housing to antifa algae-propagating supplies have gone crazy since the Führer Wannabe “lowered prices on day one.” Lucky us.

Here are some photos that do not capture the highlights of our trip.

This atypical house is in a typical residential neighborhood of San Luis Obispo, and I think it’s really cool.

Left: Two human constructions and some tiny humans. Right: Two seagulls with three legs.

Left: A few minutes from San Luis Obispo is Morro Rock Beach. Not sure how it got its name. Right: Olive Oyl points at the Pacific Ocean in Malibu.

O2 and me too.

Thanks for caring about what Wayno and I do here each week. If you’d like to help us scrape by in these tough times, we hope you’ll consider some of the links at the end of this post. We appreciate your readership and your support.

This seems like a great time to review one of Wayno’s rare thematic weeks of Bizarro cartoons…

He would probably enjoy the proverbial train at the end of the tunnel, too.

Okay, son, but don’t be careful.

This drawing is as close to an Oscar as Wayno or I are likely to get despite our convincing portrayals of slackers doing our best to avoid Walmart jobs.

Have you spotted the theme of this week’s cartoons yet?

Even a dummy can see it coming.

One point in favor of self-driving cars is that they don’t text or check email while driving.

That concludes this week’s crash course for dummies, Jazz Pickles. If you enjoy that we do this for free each week, please consider helping us keep it that way via the links below. We’ll put in a good word for you with the head of Antifa.

And here’s this week’s ANSWER KEY to my Sunday comic’s Secret Symbols.

Olive Oyl and I are still on the road, but we’ll be returning to our Mexican hideout in a few days. Our trip has been fun and relaxing, despite the health app on my phone reminding me daily that I’ve only been walking a fraction as many steps each day as I normally do, and asking me if I’ve broken an ankle or been taken hostage. I’m refusing to answer, which I think is making it angry, but I don’t care. I’m not letting that damn thing run my life.

Have you been following the World Cup? I enjoy some sports, but prefer ones in which things happen more quickly and more often than they do in soccer (futbol). I can’t shake the feeling that if it were not for baseball, soccer would be the world’s most boring sport. Sure, every now and then, there is a brief string of exciting seconds, but it cannot be denied that 95% of the time, it’s just people jogging in a big field with a ball nearby. That’s the one thing that makes it less boring than baseball, which is mostly men standing around scratching their crotches and spitting.

I know nothing about the game of cricket, but I’ve heard those games can last for days. I’m sure it’s great if you’re into it, but to me, that sounds only marginally more interesting than watching the grounds crew mow the lawn in the days before the game.

While on the road this week, I managed to dodge traffic well enough to post my latest article to The Naked Cartoonist. This one is titled “Do You Think a Lot of Modern Art is Bullshit?”

One of my subscribers, Susie Somebody, said this about it:

“Wow! Your amazing display of creativity in this week’s Naked Cartoonist is one of my all-time favorites. Thank you so much!”

I have no idea what she is referring to, but I’m glad she enjoyed it. Thanks, Susie!

If you’d like to be encouraged to think and chuckle while supporting my writing habit (which is no less life-consuming than a drug habit, but somewhat less damaging), you can start here for a mere $5 a month. I always keep my prices low because I don’t like how expensive everything is getting.

One thing that isn’t getting more expensive is our latest batch of Bizarro cartoons. Let’s see what Wayno coughed up for us this week…

You’ll never grow up to be a cowman if you don’t practice.

This image used to represent the human conscience, but since we’ve stopped thinking for ourselves, we can now see it as the “facts” and “alternate facts” of the internet competing for our attention.

But everyone knows that if time travel for potatoes were possible, the fact that those fries exist in the future means Mr. P Head did not heed their advice, and…oh, never mind.

This is a cautionary tale. Children need to learn to recognize a brutalist before they’re old enough to get romantically involved with one.

That fact that the creature thinks the platform is a train speaks volumes.

I lived in NYC for ten years and must have said that a thousand times each year. No wonder the apartment was full of bees.

That wall we just hit is the outer limit of our comedy enclosure this week. Thanks for stumbling through the dark with us.
