Surreal Estate

The most difficult part about making this week’s Real Housewives cartoon was having to research the Real Housewives franchise to get a feel for what it should look like. Honestly, what is surreal to me is how so many people…

Parking the Dog

Visiting the U.S. these days can be an emotionally-charged experience, especially over the Independence Day holiday. While we were there, between July 2 and July 9, there were 25 mass shootings; twenty-two people died, 138 were injured.

It’s difficult not to notice how many people in positions of dubious authority wear big, crazy hair. I’ve not made a scientific study of this but…

From Waddle to Wobble

This week’s Sunday comic (above) is a familiar theme for both Wayno and me. Although we each have done metric shitloads of tattoo jokes, however, only one of us actually has any tattoos. Can you guess which of us it is? I’ll reveal the answer at the end of this mini-essay.

This is my Father’s Day 2022 post, so I shall wish you a Buenos penis, Jazz Pickles. This week’s post is a day late because yesterday I took the day off. It being Father’s Day was not why I took a break, but it figured into the way the day played out…

Regarding this week’s Sunday comic, above, I confess I don’t go to many stores. I find myself in a shop of any kind maybe twice a month. But almost every time I do, when I want to leave…

As I sat down to write this post this morning I could not deny that I didn’t feel up to it. Nothing seemed interesting or funny enough to write about. Looking for inspiration…

The whole idea of a regular poker game seems really cool in a Hollywood cliche kind of way. I know a number of people who participate in regular games with the same group and I envy how much…

Words Escape Me

I’ve titled this week’s post, “Words Escape Me” because sometimes words escape me. For instance, when I heard that the Supreme Court was planning to rescind a constitutional right for the first time in our nation’s history, the F-word escaped me without my intention, and at a volume louder than I expected.

Illuminating Thoughts

O2 and I were hanging out with some friends a few weeks back and the topic of “smart bulbs” came up, which I’d never heard of. As we batted the subject around wondering what makes smart bulbs so smart and what they do that dumbass bulbs can’t,…

Visibilities

My Sunday cartoon above is an extrapolation of the concept of TV’s audio description for the blind, which I’ve turned on by accident a few times and wondered what the hell was going on. If you’re not ready for it, it can be pretty weird to suddenly hear a voice describing what’s happening on screen. “A flock of birds flies across the sky.” “A man reaches into the back of his pants and produces a live catfish.”

If you’ve followed Bizarro for a while, you know that I’ve done a lot of cartoons about the Old West and cowboys in general. I’ve also worn outlandish cowboy shirts quite a lot for a few decades now and since moving to Mexico, have added the occasional cowboy hat and very pointy boots. I try not to look too much like I’m trick-or-treating, but I’m guessing I sometimes fail.

Can I just get something off my chest about Siri for a moment? I wouldn’t say this if she was a real person but she has no feelings to hurt so I’m going to come out with it: she’s kind of stupid.
