Bizarro is brought to you today by Super Schlong.
This clever little bit of wordplay is a collaboration with my known associate, Wayno of Pittsburgh. Wayno is a good friend and he and I have been working together on cartoons for a few years now. In fact, this one represents his 100th appearance in Bizarro. He’s a joy to work with, a great gag writer, and a darned dandy artist, to boot. I also suspect he’s a good husband and member of his community but you’ll have to ask his wife and neighbors for confirmation on that. Here’s what Wayno has to say about our anniversary of sorts.
I have a friend who is a Grammy Award winning percussionist and he loved this cartoon so I’m going to consider it a success. I like it, too, but I don’t have half as many Grammys to my name as he does.
And now some silliness with Humpty Dumpty. I used to do a very surreal Humpty Dumpty routine in my one-man show. Humpty sang a strange, bittersweet song about lost love (he was gay, in love with Eggs Benedict) while his arms wafted back and forth musically as he emoted through the ballad. It was a real tear jerker. Here’s me as Humpty around 2001.
Lastly, I offer you a super hero I could really use. I despise blister packs and wish we as a species would outlaw them. Apart from them being an environmental nightmare (I assume) they are also dangerous and frustrating. I don’t know how many fingers I’ve cut off accidentally while trying to get into one of those things. (Okay, I just counted and I haven’t actually lost any fingers, but it’s only a matter of time.)
Adding more facial hairs was a good call. You’re a cutie in the Humpty Dumpty pic with just the sideburns, but the ‘stache and patch suit your character much more.

you’d be a gazillionaire and I would have missed a delightful comic.

Yay, a new Humpty Dumpty cartoon! I’ve been waiting. I couldn’t think of one for you :-, but I did have a think about how dumb the king’s horsemen where (not sure about the horses.)
If it takes me more than ten seconds to figure the gist of the strip of the day, I consider it a real coup and a thumbs up. My favorites are the Sunday Punnies. It satisfies my off-center sense of humor.
There is an infomercial where you can buy a special cutter that cuts through the blister package. It comes in a blister pack. ??
Great week in submissions.
Guess who told your Grammy Award winning percussionist about that cartoon? :)
YOU! :o)
I thought you had done it for him.
Those blisterpacks are really annoying, as are modern high security cereal and chip bags. Life was so much easier and I was less hungry when food came in simple easy to open waxed paper bags. Granny Goose, from those old commercials (a guy who’d ride up on a horse and tear open a chip bag with his teeth) would lose a tooth nowadays.
‘Gong-related violence’….. Ahh, just what I needed for a 9am pick-me-up! :P
Additionally, the look on the ‘gonger’s’ face is sinful!
Nicely done mate :)

But those are tam-tams! Gongs have nipples!
Oops. Not like me to ignore nipples.
Great stuff! The only one I make sure I read every day.
Thanks
Thanks, Jim!
