Seedy Customer
This week’s Sunday cartoon (above) says it has 11 Secret Symbols but I just created an answer key for it and I see that it has 12. Sorry about that.
The Mudpig's Tale
Thanks to everyone who has sent condolences in the last few days. They are much appreciated. I mentioned in my brief weekly cartoon post a few days ago that I might tell the story and here it is.


Twenty Somethings
Bienvenue, Pickles de Jazz. (French!)Thanks for stopping by. I’ve decided to start a new feature today, which will mean a little more work for me but we’ll see how it goes.

Surreal Estate
The most difficult part about making this week’s Real Housewives cartoon was having to research the Real Housewives franchise to get a feel for what it should look like. Honestly, what is surreal to me is how so many people…

Cartoon Food
Today’s cartoon features one of tens (hundreds?) of thousands of unfortunate cartoon souls who are stranded on a tiny, one-tree island for eternity.

Parking the Dog
Visiting the U.S. these days can be an emotionally-charged experience, especially over the Independence Day holiday. While we were there, between July 2 and July 9, there were 25 mass shootings; twenty-two people died, 138 were injured.

Hidden Meanings
It’s difficult not to notice how many people in positions of dubious authority wear big, crazy hair. I’ve not made a scientific study of this but…

From Waddle to Wobble
This week’s Sunday comic (above) is a familiar theme for both Wayno and me. Although we each have done metric shitloads of tattoo jokes, however, only one of us actually has any tattoos. Can you guess which of us it is? I’ll reveal the answer at the end of this mini-essay.

The Arf of the Deal
This is my Father’s Day 2022 post, so I shall wish you a Buenos penis, Jazz Pickles. This week’s post is a day late because yesterday I took the day off. It being Father’s Day was not why I took a break, but it figured into the way the day played out…

Street Closing
Regarding this week’s Sunday comic, above, I confess I don’t go to many stores. I find myself in a shop of any kind maybe twice a month. But almost every time I do, when I want to leave…


Well Enough Alone
As I sat down to write this post this morning I could not deny that I didn’t feel up to it. Nothing seemed interesting or funny enough to write about. Looking for inspiration…

Poker Phase
The whole idea of a regular poker game seems really cool in a Hollywood cliche kind of way. I know a number of people who participate in regular games with the same group and I envy how much…

Words Escape Me
I’ve titled this week’s post, “Words Escape Me” because sometimes words escape me. For instance, when I heard that the Supreme Court was planning to rescind a constitutional right for the first time in our nation’s history, the F-word escaped me without my intention, and at a volume louder than I expected.

Illuminating Thoughts
O2 and I were hanging out with some friends a few weeks back and the topic of “smart bulbs” came up, which I’d never heard of. As we batted the subject around wondering what makes smart bulbs so smart and what they do that dumbass bulbs can’t,…

Visibilities
My Sunday cartoon above is an extrapolation of the concept of TV’s audio description for the blind, which I’ve turned on by accident a few times and wondered what the hell was going on. If you’re not ready for it, it can be pretty weird to suddenly hear a voice describing what’s happening on screen. “A flock of birds flies across the sky.” “A man reaches into the back of his pants and produces a live catfish.”

Wrap Music
There are a few points of interest in Larry’s Dry Cleaners that I don’t want you to miss…

Manboys
If you’ve followed Bizarro for a while, you know that I’ve done a lot of cartoons about the Old West and cowboys in general. I’ve also worn outlandish cowboy shirts quite a lot for a few decades now and since moving to Mexico, have added the occasional cowboy hat and very pointy boots. I try not to look too much like I’m trick-or-treating, but I’m guessing I sometimes fail.

Merry Terrier
Welcome, Jazz Pickles, to my cartoon vestibule. I refer, of course, to this specific part of my weekly posts where I write without drawing.
