Bizarro is brought to you today by Cranky Bikers.
I got an email today from a graphic designer whose name is “Klein”. Since he works with graphics, is a master of keyboard shortcuts, and wears nothing but a tanktop-T and boxer shorts, he felt a special kinship to this cartoon. I love that no matter how randomly I choose a name for a cartoon, I often hear from readers of the same name in similar circumstances. Sometimes it has been uncannily similar. If I could remember a couple of instances, it would have made this paragraph worth reading.
Here’s a little ditty about an iPad of a different sort. I like to draw frogs. I have not heard from anyone named “Marty”. This paragraph wasn’t particularly worth reading, either, but at least it is shorter.
My last cartoon today was a collaboration with my known associate, Wayno. Although the idea was essentially his, I drew myself on the couch. The face is covered, so it could be anyone, really, but I managed to sneak in a tiny moustache (old-world spelling) to show that it is me. I would have drawn Wayno, but his features are so average that I opted for myself instead. Plus, I’m an uncontrollable ego maniac.
Here is my Bizarro iPhone app.
Here is a pic of me living in an elevator because everyone reads my cartoons online for free instead of buying papers, where my income comes from. Please buy a book and the app.
I can’t help but think that perhaps the genesis of the tiny patient cartoon was related to enlarging just one part of the patient in a way that didn’t necessitate taking Viagra™. Or perhaps, as my wife occasionally says, there’s just something wrong with me.

Have you considered setting up a system allowing anyone to get virtually any of your cartoons printed on a T-shirt or mug or the like (versus the maybe 5 different comics this can be done with on your website)? There’s been a number of comics that would seem to make perfect gifts printed that way, yet there doesn’t really seem to be an option to do so.
I haven’t got an iPhone so buying the app doesn’t quite make sense, and I’m trying to avoid acquiring hardcopy books right now as I’m likely to be making a long-distance move in the not-so-distant future and I’d prefer something electronic anyways.
Thanks for your support and suggestions. Actually, you can get virtually any of my cartoons on various products by going here: http://www.cafepress.com/bizarrostuff/4171562
If you don’t see the cartoon you want, just ask me and I’ll post it. :o)
No, you didn’t just pick Klein (small) at random!
I love your stuff.

I don’t know if you’re aware of it, but there’s a subtle pun in your “Klein” drawing. Klein means “small” in Afrikaans or Dutch.
Fantastic! I had no idea! :o)
I think it’s interesting that “klein” is the Dutch word for “small”. A funny coincidence!
Ha! Klein = small in German. There are always more than one thing to enjoy about your humor and images. Thanks
Another classic, Dan. Cartoonist’s Syndrome, indeed!
Thought you might be interested to know that today (Jun 29 ) the comments section of the Comics Curmudgeon is full of alternate captions for your Easter Island Head in a bar cartoon. My fav so far ‘Sorry, can’t serve you – you’re already stoned’.
Thanks, I’ll check it out.

You’re not an ego-maniac. If that were the case, you would have drawn yourself with much more hair.
Anyway, is it just me, or is there clearly a piece of pie sitting between you and your therapist in that picture? I haven’t been able to stop thinking about whose it is and what flavor it might be. In my heart, the answer is yours and peach. But I suppose I’ll never know…
It’s the “Pie of Opportunity,” it’s blueberry and it appears in lots of my cartoons. See here: http://www.bizarro.com/symbols/index.htm
Aloha, and thanks for First Day of Zen Garden School 7.22.12 . Please ! Do more FIRST DAY’s … I am framing this one, from the Sunday Maui News. You made my Day !! FW
Have you ever seen my First Day of Brain Surgery School? I’ll post it in my blog later today just for grins. It’s an old fave.
Dan- seriously need here… what do you do when the scotch stops working?
There’s always pot…
…. And my iPhone wants to edit my posts to make me unintelligible… Ugh help!
There is no answer for this. The devil is in charge of auto-correct and he is more powerful than we.
