Today's Bizarro comic is another food-related joke written by yours truly, and drawn by Dan Piraro, the Most Meticulous Brush in the West:
There's nothing deep or intellectual this time around; I have no axe to grind or indignation to vent, just a bit of silliness to share. A package of Melba toast spotted in the grocery store led me to an image of workers on an assembly line placing tiny slices of bread into itty-bitty toasters, which I found to be absurdly amusing.
Here's the original submission:
I love the background details that Dan added, particularly the chute delivering bread to the guy loading the toasters. In my sketch, the conveyor belt travels right-to-left, which Dan reversed. I think left-to-right works better for readers in the Western world.
I must say, however, that I think the smaller props make this gag funnier, so I'll award myself a few points for the scale of the bread and toasters in my rough. Otherwise, Dan's finished work is--as usual--a marked improvement over the concept piece.

You're totally right about the size of the bread and toasters. That was a mental error on my part, I was probably drunk again or out of my mind on bennies and ludes. But the haz-mat suits were a nice touch so I get a few points back for that.
ReplyDeleteYes sir, you certainly do get points for the haz-mat suits! Safety and cleanliness standards are obviously higher at your factory.
