Bizarro is brought to you today by Bearded Children.
My Sunday Punnies series appears every six weeks-or-so and features puns donated by readers for which I have devised (presumably) funny pictures. If you have an original pun that you think might make a good Bizarro vignette and you’d like to see your name in the newspaper (who wouldn’t?), this is your big chance! All you need do is follow the simple guidelines and tips below.
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES & TIPS:
1. Just go to the comments section of this post and type your pun idea into the space provided. By doing so, you warrant that the pun is your own original fabrication, as far as you know, and that you expect no compensation or copyright for what I come up with based on your suggestion. (TIP: Use your fingers to type with and not a large, heavy, blunt object.)
2. Include in your comment the name you’d like me to use as credit at the bottom of the frame, should I choose to illustrate your idea. You may be as literal or cryptic with your name as you like. (TIP: Using the name of a wanted criminal is not recommended unless you enjoy surprise visitors from various law enforcement agencies awakening you from slumber in the middle of the night.)
3. Do not expect to see your submission show up in the comments section. I do not publish pun suggestions to keep from ruining the fun for other readers if I should use it or embarrass you with public rejection if I don’t. (TIP: Do not stand in the middle of a busy street holding up a sign that says, “Go around me, jackass!”)
That’s all there is to it. It’s fun, it’s easy, and there is no pressure that you may miss out on some fabulous prize should I pick your pun out of the legions that are sent it, because I don’t give prizes! What’s not to like?
Let us now forge ahead to the two cartoons I published at the end of this past week. The first presents a mysterious question: Moses carried tablets, some cold remedies come in tablet form, and devices like the iPad are also called a “tablets”––coincidence? Probably not. I suspect this seemingly strange phenomenon is due to the fact that in English, anything of a certain shape is called a “tablet”. Such is the disappointing nature of language.
Our final selection today is a fun little gag that I did both for those readers who enjoy world play and those who enjoy fantasizing about the Kardashians crashing into an immovable object. (Which is likely just about all of us.) And, yes, of course Bruce Jenner would be among them in this hypothetical vehicle of fate.
YOU: Dan, where can I get your new book? ME: Lots of places. Here’s one now.
YOU: Can I find hundreds of your cartoons on so, so many various products at affordable prices? ME: You can if you click this. Yes.
Your artworks remind me of xylography. You might call a woodblock a tablet.
I’m crazy intrigued by why you called them the Cardashagains. Obviously, you had to throw in the ‘g’, or else the reader would see the obvious difference with the ‘C’ change, but the characters would still hear ‘Kardashian’.
Did the idea of calling them the Carcrashians/Karcrashians ever cross your mind?
Good suggestion. I don’t have an answer for you other than to say I think of what I think of and then make a cartoon. Once it’s done, I don’t think about it again. So I just didn’t happen to come up with Karcrashians. But I kinda wish I had. :o)
In defense of Dan, maybe the crash test dummies are used again and again.
YES! That’s it.
I particularly liked the one from the Kardashians. If anyone who hates those parasites is interested, I invite you to sign on this site http://boycottkim.com/

So in today’s Sacramento Bee, “Frank and Ernest” has a cartoon about Moses and a tablet. Coincidence? I THINK NOT!
Definitely not! Either Frank or Ernest is the Antichrist. I’m not sure which one.
But BOTH those comics must have been sent in WEEKS ago!
Yes. At least a month, maybe more. Which is more evidence that either Frank or Ernest are the Devil’s spawn. I’m not sure exactly HOW that qualifies as more evidence but I’m sure it does.
Doesn’t the bible say that he will come under the guise of good?
How do you know YOU aren’t the one?
Seriously though, been a fan for years, keep me laughing please. Nowadays I need it more than ever.

I am a trumpet player and jazz lover. Your cartoon of the “Torment of Miles Davis” is one of my all-time favorites. I have sent it to many of my musician friends.
Kind regards,
