Bizarro is brought to you today by Sleeping Inside Out.
Ever wonder how magicians do that trick where they cut a live woman in half? As unpopular as this post will be with “magicians,” I’m going to explain it to you now: They actually cut a living woman in half but the trick is that they use a saw coated with quick-coagulating, self-healing medicine that immediately seals the woman’s body off so she doesn’t die. As long as he puts her back together before her lower half dies from not having a heart, she is fine. I guess I should have said SPOILER ALERT first. Sorry if this disillusions you.
This particular cartoon was a collaboration with my good buddy, Cliff Harris The King of Wordplay. Ironically, this cartoon has no words. Apparently Cliff has more talents than I first realized.
Please consider buying some of my books. I have lawyers to pay.
It’s true. That’s how the trick is done! (lol)
I own a few of your books, but since I got my Kindle, I hardly open paper books. Are yours available as e-Books via any of the big e-Book publishers?
Not that I know of but I should change that.
You could do a retake of this comic. Same scene, just have the upper case with her looking very peeved, hands on her… buckles. Or have her on the baggage cart, giving the evil eye to the baggage handler driving.
He probably should have used smaller suitcases and carried on.
Haha
Another strip causing me side splitting laughter. You are truly my favorite funny man!
Thanks so much!
No secret symbol count this time? I count two… I like the eyeball looking up her leg…
You got them both. Sorry, sometimes I forget to put the number. My editor is supposed to catch those things but missed this one for some reason.
I wonder how many will get the Cato Fong allusion (from the Pink Panther).
She’s the boss, she’s a pip, she’s the championship,
She’s the most tip top,
Top Half…
Hi Dan! Did you know that you appear in be wikipedia entry for “death by boiling”?
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_by_boiling
Congrats (or not)!
That’s hilarious. How incredibly random! :o)
“Disillusions”, extra credit if that was on purpose.
Thanks for the credit; you’re the first person to have noticed. :o)
His body language/pose is awesome (his outfit as well). And the vast empty space, with the other last guy leaving… pretty much says “that’s it”.
btw Dan, the Dynamite image is still messed up on CafePress. I contacted them, but they said to contact the designer. Back to you? cafepress(dot)com/bizarrostuff/4171686
Thanks for your kind words and the link. I’ve sent it to my web guy for Cafe Press and I’m hoping he can fix it without much trouble.
I own all of your books, aside from the three little pigs. I even tracked down a copy of that math book.
Please publish more books. I prefer the ealrly books with complete collections.
If it was up to me, all of my cartoons would appear in books and all of the books would sell like crazy. Unfortunately, they don’t so publishers are not clamoring to publish my books.
What’s wrong with 3 Little Pigs? That’s the book I’m most proud of.
Most of your work is like a timeless Koan- that little moment of hmm. I already knew I didn’t agree with policies of the subjects, influence peddling, and party politics in general. There isn’t anything wrong with 3 Little Pigs, it just doesn’t speak to me.
You want to make a product that I want to buy. A product that isn’t supported by current publishing models. Kickstarter maybe?
This is one of my favorites…funny on many levels, beautifully drawn and laid out and wordless…WOW!
Hi Dan!
Did you know that you have a bunch of fans in Pakistan? Your comics used to be published in the most widely circulated English daily newspaper called Dawn and we’re now using the internet to satiate our appetite for Bizarro. Keep the great stuff coming. :)
Cheers!

I did know that, yes, and I always love hearing from my readers in Pakistan. I have a few in India, too. :o)
