Bizarro is brought to you today by Erroneous Hunting.
You Jazz Pickles in countries with reasonable gun ownership laws have likely not seen many roadsigns shot to pieces. But in the United States, where it is every person’s constitutional right to own killing machines—often even if they are mentally ill and/or have a history of violence—and no one’s right to be safe at schools, churches, concerts, parades, movie theaters and the like, one sees this fairly routinely in more rural areas. I’ve never been present for the execution of this inane act so I can’t say for certain that it isn’t a kind of self-defense, but my guess is it’s just rednecks blowing off steam.
In the case of the character in my cartoon above, however, he at least has a more respectable set of reasons for the trophies in his man cave.
If you’re wondering what Wayno was shooting holes in last week with his cartoon Glock, read on…
My favorite Nobel Lariat is Will Rogers. I grew up in Oklahoma where Rogers is a state hero but he’d hang himself with his own lariat if he knew the kind of politics his fellow Oklahomans are practicing these days.
I’ve spent the entirety of my life in yesterday’s future and today’s past. Not sure where to go from here, though.
I know people who claim to have a smoothie-a-day but I hope this isn’t what they mean.
The gym gave this guy a special parking place with a reinforced, concrete wall.
And the Brit said, “I think your career was simply smashing.”
I strongly suspect that Wayno’s wife wrote this gag but he firmly denies it. Who knows? Maybe mine wrote it and sent it to him.
Don’t forget to waft past Wayno’s weekly blog about these same cartoons in which he tells numerous amusing anecdotes and shares a link to some musical oddity!
That completes this week’s tour of our silly drawings, Jazz Pickles. Thanks for shuffling along with us for another week. I hope you’re enjoying whatever world you’ve created for yourself and will consider donating to our continued cartooning efforts by doing one of the things suggested in the links below.
Until my next post, be happy, be nice, be smart, & resist ignorance and fascism.

Sad you had to make some bull shit anti 2A comment Dan. Been following you for years. No more.
Bye, felicia!
In the words of our president, “Bye-bye”.
Oh no! Weird! Not wierd! How did that happen?!?
Failed English and never took Poli-Sci, Andy? Your local community college can help you.
Oh Andy, you poor, undereducated bumpkin…
That wasn’t anti 2nd Amendment. That was anti hunting for the liberals & anti government regulation for the conservatives. Too bad you’ll never see this.
I do hear good things about OK’s medical marijuana program though 😉
Hi Dan, as always, please keep up the fantastic work you do, peoplekind need this :o)
I enjoyed reading the comments left from readers. They no longer show? Sometimes you’d have a boat load (or if stinky, another type of load). Where did they go?
It’s “anti 2A” to shoot signs instead of animals?
Snowflake.
2A right to bear arms… Nothing wrong with owning, carrying, aiming + even firing guns. Problem only occurs when the fired bullets hit people (and property).
All gunowners should load their weapons wth blanks for their shooting sprees, then they still become famous, while people like school kids can stay alive.
Holey cow – it’s weird how Wayno spells weird, “wierd”
The Nobel Lariat cartoon is appropriate for the Ig Nobels, awarded every September in Cambridge, MA. Perhaps they could give it some sort of honorary mention.

The funny thing about that Nobel Lariat cartoon is that physicists and mathematicians are in fact fascinated by precisely that sort of thing, and before you know it, the new math invented that way has a thousand applications in the real world. In Richard Feynman’s biography it is described how he once sat in the cafeteria, saw a metal plate falling and then do what metal plates sometimes do when they drop on the floor: slowly undulating on the floor, and as they sink down, the undulations get faster and faster. He found himself fascinated by it, and tried to work out what exactly the math and physics behind this phenomenon is. I can’t recall if he made any breakthrough discoveries there, but he did eventually get a Nobel in physics for something else. 🙂
The top image of the bus reminds me of Gus Arriola’s Halley’s Comet. Intentional or subconscious homage?
