Dying Arts

I’m Dan Piraro, the creator of the Bizarro newspaper comic, and this is my weekly blog post. The large Sunday Bizarro comic above is mine, as are the comments below. The past week’s Monday-Saturday Bizarro comics that follow were written and drawn by my partner Wayno, whose weekly blog post I highly recommend.

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


Good week, Jazz Pickles. Thanks for being here.

I’ve been enjoying writing articles for my subscription project, The Naked Cartoonist, and Medium.com. The response from and interaction with readers has been a joy. 

I record an audio version of each article (I post them on NC, but not on Medium) and want to share my latest one with you today.

This one is a fun parody of the current religious extremists in the US, and is titled, “How You Know the Devil is in the Neighborhood.”

I fully realize my parody does not portray most religious and spiritual people, hence the use of “extremist.” 

It’s not a political article, so no need to fear the same depressing rhetoric we’re marinated in daily. I hope you’ll listen and enjoy it.

You can read the rest of my articles for $5 a month by subscribing to Naked Cartoonist or Medium.com, also $5/mo. (A Medium membership also gives you access to thousands of other writers, not just me.)

At least he’s making the dirty business of lawsuits a little more attractive.

And if you get caught, you won’t have to show up at the office anymore. It’s a win-win.

I never attended swim meets because I was disturbed by the swim meat. Thanks, Speedo.

Even worse is getting plenty of good material, but being under a non-disclosure agreement.

The mistakes are the best part of A.I.

It’s always a bit of a shock when you wander into a ballet bar accidentally.

I think we’ve all had enough fun for one post. If you’re enjoying this weekly shindig, and that we offer it for free, please consider helping us keep it that way via the links below. You’re our favorite pickles, jazz or otherwise.
