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.

Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the
summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the
outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one
rule that I know of, babies — "God damn it, you’ve got to be kind."
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
Mondrian's Glasses and Pipe André Kertész, 1926 |
Aside from the pipe, Mondrian had some stylish spectacles, didn't he?
A tip of the Bizarro porkpie to Ian. I wasn't familiar with André Kertész, and appreciate the art history lesson.
For more contemporary and less historic art, let's check out this week's Bizarro comics.
I imagined them chilling out in formalwear because anything more casual than their work clothes would tend toward nudity.
That's my cartoon output for the first week of April. I hope some of these trifles amused you.
We'll return next Saturday with another selection of humorous words and pictures. Thanks for joining us.
Oh, yes, and don't stare at the eclipse without proper eye protection.

Wayno, I had guessed 1967 was your running total. Thanks for amusing and educating us! Keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteNice catch, Judi. Next April, I guess I won't fool anyone!
DeleteThanks for invokin' Vonegut and for the LOLs! Dig Piet (specs 'n' pipe owner) Mondrian's vision for the future. While it puts artists out of work, who DOESN'T want to live in realized art?! "In the future, the realization of pure plastic expression in palpable reality will replace the work of art. But in order to achieve this, orientation toward a universal conception and detachment from the oppression of nature is necessary. Then we will no longer have the need of pictures and sculpture, for we will live in realized art." (1942)
ReplyDeleteWhat did you say?!?
DeleteI would certainly buy a book of your inanimate objects cartoons, or any book that you might compile. And darn it, I wish we had a Trader Joe's here! Now I want ginger snap cookies!
ReplyDeleteNext time you're in town, I'll treat you to a container of them.
DeleteAw, thank you!
DeleteThanks for keeping up yer high standards -- please continue.
ReplyDeleteMore bon mots from Vonnegut!
Is Bunny's grape jam all natural, non-gmo, fructose free, gluten free, no hormones added, no antibiotics added and fair trade?
ReplyDeleteYes. It barely even contains grapes and is more of a conceptual jam.
DeleteTouche!!!
