Born to be Mild

Does every week in 2020 have to be weirder than the one before? The news was filled with scandal, sickness, and outrage, yet the most memorable character was a common housefly.

Before we started our cartoon work on Monday morning, we headed to our county elections office and submitted our ballot for the November election. Fingers are crossed here.

Let's see what emerged from Bizarro Studios North over the last six days.

 

This joke eluded some readers, since most vanity plates seem to be based on the omission of letters to suggest a word or phrase. Ours is, I believe, more elegant. To get this one, you simply have to pronounce each letter in sequence.

This might simply be someone acting out of an abundance of caution. Whatever the motivation, one must admire the character's ability to operate the remote control while wearing  those gloves.

The Law of the West establishes that every chuck wagon leader must be nicknamed either "Wishbone" or "Cookie."

One-eyed jacks don't have to put up with this kind of pressure.

 

Etiquette is important everywhere.

That was certainly my goal.

Thanks for taking time out from fretting about the future of the American Experiment to read a few cartoons. Please come back regularly.

Don't forget to visit Dan Piraro's blog for additional commentary and another spectacular Bizarro Sunday page. 

Also, if you're not already hooked, I recommend checking out Dan "Diego" Piraro's surreal western graphic novel Peyote Cowboy. Every episode is available to read for free.
