Bizarro is brought to you today by Courageous Eyebrows.
Man (woman and undecided), it’s been a busy week at Bizarro International Headquarters. So much going on that I can barely keep up. Last weekend I was at the San Diego Comic Con, which if you like 10 square miles of unnavigable crowds of nerds and wackos is where you ought to be. It’s gotten so out of hand that it’s beginning to make Burning Man look 
like a Republican convention.
Some interesting things in the show-biz world are surfacing for me and I’m happy about that. I’d tell you all about it but my manager is as superstitious as a World Series pitcher and won’t let me talk about anything until the ink is dry, the money is delivered, the project is finished, my career is over, and I’m on my deathbed. Most things in Hollywood never materialize so there are no guarantees, but even if one of my projects does, 
I’ll be keeping my day job (Bizarro) so not much will change except that my blogs might get more interesting. Which, in some people’s opinion, would not be hard.
Meanwhile, here are some more cartoons to look at. These are best viewed with human eyes on a computer or other such device that receives the Internet. If you are viewing them on your microwave oven with a couple of golf balls, you likely won’t get as much out of them.
Detailed descriptions of 
each:
1. I like memory foam mattresses. Someday I hope to be able to afford one. This idea came from Victor, the boy genius.
2. I hate traffic fines even when they are not doubled. I got a parking ticket just today because of that street cleaning nonsense that some big cities have. I wish they would use some of the money they collect from parking tickets to actually clean the streets.
3. Bruce Springsteen is a famous rock ‘n’ roll guy 
who looks a little like this cartoon. My known associate, Wayno, had this idea and speaks of it here.
4. Penguins are funny.
5. Pirates are always missing things like hands, legs, eyeballs. I’m guessing they were among the most clumsy of all historical criminal subcultures.

Teacher asks little Johnny, “where does a pirate keep his Buccaneers?”
Little Johnny replies, “Under his Buccan-hat!”
The street cleaning sign reminds me of the alternate parking that happens in some cities. You have to go out and move your car from one side to the other at 8pm or you will be getting a ticket by 8:30pm. Pain in the ass, I can tell you from experience! Ostensibly it is for snow removal in the winter months, but still enforced in the summer so one doesn’t forget!
Hey! (And that ain’t hay, podnah . . . )
Waiting moderation? I don’t know how much more moderate I could have been . . .
I see from the timestamp that this guy is a man well ahead of his time, by at least, oh, 7 hours. We should pay attention to him. I suppose.

Dan, you’ve confused me (and it doesn’t take much). You reference Bruce Springsteen in comment # 3, but I don’t see comic #3 to go with the comment.
I know…I know…remove the golf balls and step away from the microwave!
but I still need your help.

Never mind…it magically appeared…the minute I removed the golf balls.
;-)
eyeballs everywhere.
is that a pie on a barrel?
Why, yes, it is. I place little odd objects all around my cartoons most of the time.

The common assumption is the pirate eyepatch is being used to cover a missing eyeball, lost in battle or due to a weapons discharge. But there is the theory that it was a method of preserving night vision since old sailing ships did not have much in the way of lighting below decks. The “MythBusters” TV show did a TV special about pirates and this theory was deemed to be plausible and there is a mention of this in the “eyepatch” Wikipedia article. But let’s face it — if you see a guy with a peg leg and a hook for a hand, if he’s wearing a patch too, you just have to assume….
(I once knew a man with a wooden leg named “Sam”. Never did find out the name of his other leg.)
I’m familiar with that theory, too, and find it fascinating. I’ve often wondered if it really works but have never tried it. I imagine they dealt with that on MythBusters. Since there are precious few photos or videos of actual pirates in their heyday, I always assumed it could have been made up by Hollywood simply because it looked cool.
I had a neurobiology professor in college who tested that theory by wearing an eye patch (1976). Yes, it worked, by allowing the rods in his eyes to grow longer. Now there’s a visual…
Memory foam may be the fix for Alzheimers.

You may have a potential Nobel Prize for medicine there.
