Bizarro Studios is closed for the long holiday weekend, so we'll keep this week's post brief.

As we do every Saturday, we are pleased to offer a recap of our latest cartoon laffs.
A friend noted that this gag ran on the birthday of Boris Karloff. This was an unplanned but welcome coincidence.
I offer apologies to the continent of Australia for the use of a stereotype of their citizenry. As a youth, I was indoctrinated by Monty Python.
We found the strip version of this gag to be a pleasing visual composition.
Thanks, as always, for checking out the blog. We'll return next week with a wordier offering. Meanwhile, please drop by Dan Piraro's blog, for his insights and a brand new Sunday Bizarro page.

I was especially amused by the cork fly (and other biting insect) repellants dangling from the Aussie’s hat. After visiting my sister, who was wooed away from our native South Dakota by a smooth talking Aussie from Toowoomba, our Dad fashioned himself such a hat for his own gardening and found it to be wonderfully effective (though the corks, themselves, were irritating enough but at least didn’t ever actually alight or bite) and wore it until age forced him to abandon gardening in his mid-80s.
