Bizarro is brought to you today by Awesome Logos.
Whenever I operate heavy machinery, the overwhelming responsibility of it overwhelms me. As well it should. When I’m operating a backhoe or wrecking ball, the knowledge that the slightest misstep can send tons of steel in the wrong direction causing destruction, injury, or even death, weighs heavily on me. I find that the only way I can bear this kind of deadly power in my hands is to be dead drunk. Thank goodness for cheap vodka.
On a lighter note, here is a cartoon snapshot of a musician who is out of ‘toon. That last word is short for “cartoon,” of course, so it has a double meaning! Hahahahaha! The guitar player at far left is me and the one at far right is Tiny Tony T. Smith, my good friend and an excellent musician in the real world. Tony recorded and mixed my original songs for me last summer and one day I still hope to post them online for people to download or something. I don’t know how to do that and I am too busy and lazy to figure it out.
The banjo and giant violin player are just random guys I hired to pose for this cartoon. They aren’t even musicians. 
Finally, this cartoon asks the philosophical question: If you had the absolutely perfect-sized head, would it give you a big head? This poor schmuck found out the answer the hard way. Good luck getting that sweater off over your head.
You want Bizarro cartoons on stuff?
You want Bizarro cartoons in a book?
You want Bizarro cartoons in another cartoon?
AND…by special request from a Jazz Pickle, here is a bonus image of the “toon” cartoon in its strip form. Enjoy!

Hells Yeah!!
It was mean of you, putting the fellow in that last one in a pullover sweater.
I can be a vindictive little shit sometimes.
i am also a musician (having taught kids in public school- written music books for them) i have made up musical cartoons using symbols and ‘characters’but
i wanted to put an idea in your mind. Based on your last cartoon (”out of toon”) i think it is ”funny” that during a kids school days we can’t get them interested in BEING IN CHOIR, singing in music class, or playing a string instrument -but as soon as they get to high school, they all of a sudden want to form a GARAGE BAND, and sing, and play guitar, when they have had NO INTEREST – (”not cool) to be in orchestra, or chorus, but then the ”desire” suddenly hits them that playing guitar /singing, in a garage band is now cool… (actually it is part of growing up process- many kids have gotten to high school and returned to tell me that being in a ”group” when younger would have been their ‘ticket” to having more friends, but didn’t realize it until they were older..)
so as a choir/orch. teacher, i have struggled with this during the lower grades to entice (esp. boys) to be in music, (sing, play a string instrument) and up hill battle, but things change when they get some maturity under their belt.. thoguht that might make for a humorous presentation..
(one cartoon i made was a young man at the MUSICIANS string conservatory, looking at the ”elevator buttons” and being confused at seeing the string players musical symbols (instead of words/arrows) -can’t make them on the keyboard-
[ (turned 1/4 turn- like a bench) and ”’V” (for the ”up button” )
(another cartoon was ”notes floating out of a plane, -with parachutes (”tie” symbols above thenote) the ”dotted half note was floating down slowly” – with ”speed marks” and the ” two quarter notes sharing a parachute was ‘falling quite rapidly” past the slower 1/2 notes, ) teaching kids the difference in their ”value” as well as making them see the humor in if you want to fall slowing you need SLOWER NOTES, AND ONLY ONE PER ‘CHUTE” )
HARD TO DESCRIBE in words, what i had in pictures..
(another cartoon was an very short young person looking at a huge ‘concert grand piano’) and the captiion was ” musicians have ”HIGH HOPES” or MUSICIANS have big dreams” etc, to that effect..)
so i put stuff like this in my kids own music books to make it more FUN for them to be playing an instrument in school

You sound like a fun teacher. I started a band in high school, too, but eschewed the idea in middle school. I am one of those people who did not learn an instrument as a child and it has been my great regret. I’m a very mediocre rhythm guitar player as a result. :o)
In my case I was in orchestra and marching-band in middle school and high-school. I did have more friends then I would have otherwise because of the shared experience. But alas, I played the french horn … definitely not a babe magnet. Now take my friend Chuck … in grade school he always complained about having to go home for piano practice. But there he was in high-school playing the jazz piano with girls hanging on his every move.
Yo, Danny-boy. Let’s see the horizontal version of the “out of toon” comic. Come on!
WILL DO!
Have to admit…I didn’t “get it” at first, but the strip form made the joke pop! Thanks, Cooperphile, for asking; thanks, Dan, for providing!
Yeah, I’m another one who didn’t get it till it was in strip form.
Takes me a while to get visual gags, but every day in every way, you are helping me, Dan.
“Out of ‘toon” … I love it when artists break the bounds.
Regarding heavy machinery, I once had a summer job working in a warehouse tediously filling orders for chainsaw repair parts. My sanity was saved when a crunked up coworker lifted the fork on his forklift to high, too fast and brought fluorescent lightbulb glass crashing down in a very spectacular fashion. I was quickly promoted to driving the forklift the rest of the summer, which was a blast. I didn’t realize how heavy those things were until I left one sitting out on the asphalt for a few minutes and when I came back the rear wheels had sunk in. It took a bunch of us to rock it back and forth and free it. At least I wasn’t high at the time and the boss just said, “Don’t do that again.”
You’ve really outdone yourself with the “out of toon” ‘toon!
I agree with Jacob. “Out of toon” is pure genius.
I <3 the banjo. And, I'd love to be able to hear your original music.
Dan, FYI I get a 404 error when I click on the icon for “daily comic” on your website. Don’t know whether it’s my problem or yours…
That site is really old and is slowly falling apart. The only way to get my daily comic these days is to go to DailyInk.com and subscribe. Or visit this blog a few times a week. :o)
Interesting. I get it on arcamax (http://www.arcamax.com/thefunnies/bizarro/). Are you going to trash and/or upgrade the website? I really think it’s wonderfully done and would capture more fans if all the links worked right. Dunno what “falling apart” means; maybe costs a lotta bread to fix? Anywho, this is one entertained Jazz Pickle, no worries, mate!
It’s expensive to fix and I’ve been told that the way it was designed was old-school, so it’s hard fix now without some original code or something? I can’t remember. I don’t know crap about how the Internet actually works. Only how to use it.

Let’s hear those tunes sometime!
Soundcloud and Bandcamp are popular sites for posting music…
