Going Viral

I had no knowledge of the coming pandemic when I drew and submitted the above cartoon five weeks ago. But a depiction of the fall of Julius Caesar is perhaps very apropos to what is hopefully happening to the Cheeto Mussolini and his empire of cards right now…

As I’ve mentioned here before, for the last several months I’ve been working on a graphic novel. It’s a story of magical realism in the Old West and being immersed in it for so long has caused…

Almost none of my cartoons come from actual experiences but almost all of them have some element of my life within them. In the case of the cartoon above…

I’ve not closely followed the debate and controversy over so-called support animals, so everything I say here is based on little more than having glanced at a headline here and there. That won’t stop you from vehemently disagreeing with me but it might…

Spoiler Alert

While it’s fun to imagine dimwitted chumps of yesteryear being frightened by technology, it has been pointed out that even though films of this sort were new, people had stood on platforms and watched trains coming “close” to them for a very long time. So even if anyone thought the train was real (which is highly improbable) they’d still be unlikely to run or scream.

Revelations

I’ve done a couple of gags over the years about there being two kinds of Indian restaurants—which, to my knowledge, there are not—but I still find this theme and the above expansion of the topic funny. For those who’ve not seen as many cowboy movies as I have, “pemmican” is…

My favorite aspect of this cartoon is the nonchalant courage with which the gray tabby confronts the horse. This is our gray tabby, Lola, to a tee when faced with pretty much anything the world can throw at her…

Film aficionados will get this cartoon instantly but many others won’t. In a moment, I’ll provide a link to an article that will explain it but see if you can get there on your own first. One helpful hint might be…

If you’re not familiar with Oscar Wilde’s brilliant The Picture of Dorian Gray, this cartoon will likely fall flat. Go read it and come back. (tick, tick, tick) Now that you’ve enjoyed this classic…

AI vs. AI

I don’t suppose anyone is surprised anymore by the behavior of the GOP under their Manchurian candidate. But just a few years ago it was unthinkable that a politician, particularly one representing the Republican party and who skipped out of serving by having a rich dad, could get away with…

I’m not one to have new year’s resolutions but I have a grand, new project planned for 2020 that I’m so excited about I can barely refrain from crying and pooping my pants…

Questionable Humor

Many people find the act of explaining a joke to be violating some kind of unwritten law. Yes, when jokes are explained they are less funny than if you “get” them by yourself. But many of my jokes are intentionally opaque or obscure, so…

I’d like to thank The Apricot Assfruit for writing this cartoon for me. Sadly, I only had room to illustrate eleven of his childish and appalling practices. As well as this cartoon works, I wish it did not have reason to exist. But politics, like life, is…

One small shred of evidence that the world is becoming a better place is that a few years ago, I would not have been allowed to publish this cartoon on a Sunday. The reference to an illegal, schedule 1 “gateway” drug would have been considered…

It is obvious to anyone familiar with actual journalism that most of the world has been going to hell a whole lot faster in the past three years. “It feels apocalyptic” is a phrase I’ve heard numerous times and uttered myself on more than one occasion. But it’s not bad news for everyone

There’s lots of talk in the U.S. these days about the American Drug Cartel, which is what I call the health and pharmaceutical industry there. But talking about it too much makes me sick and like most Americans, I can’t afford to get sick. So I’ll just say…

True Bizarro Jazz Pickles (long-time regular readers of Bizarro) are well aware that I like to challenge readers with jokes they may not immediately get and this one is firmly in that category. If you’re scratching your head over this one…
