This is the weekly dispatch from Bizarro Studios North, where I have been writing and drawing the Monday through Saturday Bizarro comics since 2018. My partner and friend Dan Piraro created Bizarro in the late twentieth century and continues to do the Sunday comic from Rancho Bizarro in Mexico.

Today's pipe pic from Kevin G. shows Bing Crosby with First Nations people at the Calgary Exhibition and Stampede grounds in Calgary, Alberta.

Left to right are Chief Eddy One Spot (Stoney First Nation); Chief Jim Simeon (Tsuut’iina First Nation); Bing Crosby; and Maurice Hartnett (Calgary Stampede President).
Bing struck a rather stern pose for this shot, but we don't know exactly what he was looking at.
A tip of the Bizarro chapeau to Kevin G. for this historic image.
On a less serious note, we'll now review this week's cartoons.
We ended September with a Bizarro take on Greek mythology.
Los Angeles musician Jay Work sent us a photo of his saxophone case, which he decorated with a quartet of Jazz Pickle stickers.
Jay has named this group Tower of Sour.
A respectful bow and a tip of the fedora to Jay for his creative use of Bizarro products.
An impressive assortment of Secret Symbol stickers is available at Dan Piraro's Official Bizarro Shop.
Here's a scholarly photo of Beej from New York City wearing his Bizarro shirt.

Will a Pipe of Ambiguity t-shirt give anyone an aura of knowing serenity like Beej? Possibly. It's worth a shot.
All three Bizarro tees are available from the Comics Kingdom Bizarro Collection.

I found the neck kilts toon funnier, but that could just be me. Also, I like how the pie is covered in plastic wrap. And finally, the 2022 series was great (never saw those before). Thanks for your work and some Saturday morning laughs!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Maybe your cartoonist felt too lazy to draw three characters, plus a tartan pattern!
DeleteAppreciate your comments!
It’s not laziness to skip drawing a tartan kilt. With every Scottish clan having their own tartan pattern, it would take a day (maybe?) to draw one. Who said “Time is of the essence”?

Thanks, John! I appreciate that.
DeleteInteresting bit of synchronicity in that Bob Dylan popped up in this email (*everybody* loved Bob Newhart) and in the blog from '22. OK with me.
ReplyDeleteMichael: You're right, who wouldn't love Bob Newhart?
Deleteder Bingle and friends may have been watching the prime minister be inducted into the tribe. Just the first few seconds. Sorry about the rodeo film part.

Fascinating clip! Thanks!
DeleteMixed marshmallow arts? That is just fluff.
ReplyDeleteThat version of 'Miserlou' is a tad different than the Dick Dale's classic! Probably a lot closer to the song's roots, however.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed! My friend Black Mold, a longtime DJ on WWOZ New Orleans, hipped me to the earliest known recording, from 1927, though the song goes back to the Ottoman empire.
