Rumours of Ryan’s nut based romance techniques are clearly based in empirical fact. We can only imagine the wide range of seeds/legumes he will press into action just trying to survive the advances of the “big mad crow”.

For what looks (and should have been) pretty run-of-the-mill, there were three drawn versions of this strip. I was very rusty when I got back to the drawing board. I did one version, then another a few days later. The final version is half of the original, a panel from the second, and a panel I drew yesterday. Enjoy trying to work out which is which.

Wasn't the Street Sweeper a gray haired guy?

fake edit: he definitely was



So why the sudden hair color change? New colorist? Old colorist went "Whoops this isn't supposed to be an old guy"? Were readers confusing the gray haired police guy with the Street Sweeper?

real edit: Okay looking at it again maybe I'm dumb and that's a wig the Street Sweeper is putting on, to disguise his actual hair, since the hairstyle is completely different too.
.... he's also blond?

Ophelia is, I think, a trans turtle. So obviously her boyfriend (?) George needs two factor authentication to get inside her shell.

"I ran into a door" is the traditional excuse for a black eye you don't want to explain, so I'm pretty sure the implication is the kids physically attacked her after she caught them.

She wants an excuse to be crying that isn't "people made fun of me."

That's a good idea, but "something you have" usually means a condom not a cell phone.

Family Circus and Foob are like yin and yang. One is excessively sentimental and syrupy about having kids (most of the time, at least), and the other acts as though kids are almost always a burden that you rid yourself of.

She's a weasel that was being hunted for her pelt, because in Holbrook's world even carnivores can be indiscriminately killed for food or materials. She was given a turtle shell by someone in the protagonist group and sheltered with them for a while. She still wears it as a disguise and I guess now also a mobile gently caress hut.

Bizarro Controversy!: I can only find 8 of the 9 hidden items, and that seems to be the case for everyone in the comments. The debate is whether one of the shoes the guy is wearing is the hidden shoe, since it is in the same position the Lost Loafer is often depicted in, but I argue no, since the hidden item is called the "Lost Loafer" and that one is clearly not lost, it is on his foot and has its mate on the other.

Some have suggested the K2 on the monkey's guitar in the header is to be counted, but those people are fools! The header images don't count!

Others argue it's probably just a miscount, which I imagine is rare in Bizarro but I don't actually know how often that happens.

The world awaits Piraro's next blog entry to provide the answer to this dilemma!

Karen Moy is just a terrible writer and just from reading her strips kind of shouldn't be giving anyone advice about anything. I mean her advice has included learn how to live with your explosive, alcoholic, borderline abusive boyfriend, let your husband handle all of your problems you are after all a weak and silly womanfolk, huge age gap relationships are super cool, and don't leave your abusive spouse until he literally shoots a gun at you, and these are only from memory
