Honk if You Read Comics

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, who created Bizarro in the late twentieth century, continues to do the Sunday comic from Rancho Bizarro in Mexico.

July is whizzing past us, but it wouldn't be a Saturday without a new post sharing the week's cartoons, would it?

I'm trying to get a little further ahead of schedule, and have also started working on a surprise project that came my way, so this entry will be much less verbose than usual.

Our pipe pic of the week is a rare example of understated advertising from the tobacco industry.

Now, it's on to the week in cartoons.

We started off with an Independence Day gag. As an old friend of mine used to say when observing his kids engaging in a questionable activity, "Somebody's gonna end up crying."

Note that the employee accomplished much without making mistakes, whereas management avoided errors by doing no actual work.

A nature documentary that featured a segment on wood frogs inspired this comic. That, and calculating our quarterly estimated taxes.

My internal editor (and second-guesser) suggests that the word "always" could have been deleted from this gag, and I can't disagree.

Friday's panel made me doubly happy, being a clown gag and wordless. Many readers mentioned experiencing a slightly delayed payoff, which always pleases a cartoonist.

This is a musical we wish existed.

That's the latest batch. Thanks for popping by. We'll be back in a week with more words and pictures.

Don't forget to visit Dan Piraro's blog for additional commentary, and to marvel at his latest gorgeous Sunday Bizarro panel.

There's no bonus track this week. Please choose an appropriate tune that you like, and pretend it appears here.
 

See you in seven days.
