I’m Dan Piraro, the creator of the Bizarro newspaper comic. Each week, I post my Sunday Bizarro comic, a short message, then the past week’s Monday-Saturday Bizarro comics written and drawn by my partner Wayno, whose weekly blog post I highly recommend.

And here’s this week’s ANSWER KEY to my Sunday comic’s Secret Symbols.

Good moment to you, Jazz Pickles. 

As most of us struggle to heal from the previous week’s ignorance of history and assault on common sense, let’s move forward with some humor.

I’ve got some fun announcements this week:

Each year I donate a signed print to an auction benefitting a Buddhist organization I like. This year’s auction is over a week from today, so rush over and bid like a blank space on your wall depends on it! Auction main page here. Art page with my Bizarro print here.

Wayno and I have been busy creating a Bizarro calendar for 2025, and some holiday ornaments that you’re going to love. We encourage you to buy hundreds of each and pass them out at holiday parties. (This year’s calendar theme is animal cartoons!)

A caveat: This is King Feature’s shop, not ours. We do not control the prices of the products or shipping. But we do get a cut of the purchase prices, though, so you can consider each purchase a holiday gift to us. Thanks!

Finally, a couple of days ago, I posted one of my Naked Cartoonist subscriber-only articles in the free area of this site. (Like the post you’re reading now.) The original subscription version was quite popular and readers asked me to make it freely available so they could forward it to friends and relatives. 

The article is titled, “My So-Called ‘Disorder’: What some call a disability may be your greatest asset,” and is about my recent discovery that I am autistic, and how it both caused trouble and drives my career. Feel free to post or forward the URL. (https://www.bizarro.com/blog/2024/11/14/my-so-called-disorder)

That’s this week’s stuff. Let us now share some chuckles via my talented partner Wayno’s week of Bizarro cartoons…

Thanks for your attention, Jazz Pickles. We’ll see you real soon. Take care of yourselves and keep your focus. Peaks and valleys are a natural part of this dimension.
