High Thread Count Hauntings
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.
Greetings, Jazz Pickles and other non-subjects of the would-be toddler king.
It’s been a rough week for the wise and civilized among us, so with silent resolve to resist and ride out this temporary shadow of history, let’s change the subject and scare up some smiles.
As I’ve mentioned a few times here, I have a subscription creative writing service that I call The Naked Cartoonist. It’s $5 a month. I’ll email you a new story every other Friday, usually a five- to seven-minute read, with a few photos and/or cartoons.
I also include an audio version of each piece, read in my very own voice, telling you my story as if we are besties. Here’s this week’s recording titled, “That Time I Accidentally Became a TV Star.” (No, really.)

It’s the true story of maybe the weirdest thing that has ever happened to me, and I’ve had some strange adventures. When I think back on this one, it seems like it happened to a different person in a different world. I’m sure you’ve had that experience, too.
If you subscribe to Naked Cartoonist, you’ll get the entire archive of my stories, now numbering around sixty. Don’t worry. You won’t be required to read them all if that doesn’t suit you; there will be no test.
You can cancel at any time, but I hope you’ll enjoy them and stick around for more.
Now let’s stick around for Wayno’s award-winning Bizarro cartoons for the week!
Lately, I’ve been taking handfuls of those every day.
I like to use cursive when cursing.
I like that modern gangsters are into vintage crime fashion again.
Folks dress this way on commercial airliners now, why not in church?
I’m proud to say I’ve never received a necktie from my two kids on Father’s Day. I did get a hand-embroidered bandana once, though, which I still cherish.
That’s one “terms of service” doc you can’t afford to not to read.
That wraps up this week’s comedy threat. If you’re enjoying that we do this for free, please consider chipping in to help us keep it that way via the links below. We’ll celebrate your generosity with a smile in our hearts.
