"Ground control to Major Tom."

Earworm at 4:00 a.m.! I'm a night owl and I'm just getting ready to go to bed, and now I won't be able to sleep because it's stuck in my head!


Thank you, SCE. I think.

Can anyone find all seven of the hidden items in the Bizarro comic? I've only been able to find six, and it's driving me crazy!

18. Hidden items?
Sun Oct 13, 2024, 07:40 AM
Oct 13

Is that a thing in all Bizarro comics, and I just never knew? I mean... I know I've seen the occasional out-of-place item, but thought it was just an artist quirk to do that. Are there actually a set # of hidden items in each one? ... OMG - Is that what the tiny "7" means over his signature?

So I've only spotted 4 things...

1. A slice of pie; 2 a lit stick of dynamite; 3 a single eye ball; 4 an alien in a flying saucer; 5 weird pictures on the wall - a very strange looking rabbit is frequent.

Can't think what the other 2 are, at the moment. He doesn't always put all of the items in.

It's the alien in the flying saucer that I've usually spotted over the years, so I just presumed he stuck that in all of his comics somewhere, like a signature quirk.

In this particular one, I see the slice of pie, the dynamite, the eye ball, and the alien.

It's fun to look each time to see which peculiar objects he has put in the cartoon.

In the bizzarro cartoon in the Sunday funnies posted on DU there's an additional strange object: a shoe on the map or game board that the military guys are looking at.

From Wikipedia;

Most Bizarro cartoons since 1995 include one or more of these elements hidden somewhere in the cartoon:

an eyeball (the Eyeball of Observation)

a piece of pie (the Pie of Opportunity)

a rabbit (the Bunny of Exuberance)

an alien in a spaceship (the Flying Saucer of Possibility)

the abbreviation "K2" (referring to Piraro's children Kaitlin and Killian)

a crown (the Crown of Power)

a stick of dynamite (the Dynamite of Unintended Consequences)

a shoe (the Lost Loafer)

an arrow (The Arrow of Vulnerability)

a fish tail (The Fish of Humility)

an upside down bird (the Inverted Bird)

Olive Oyl, or the abbreviation "O2" (the Mighty Oyl) (first occurrences in May 2017)

a smoker's pipe (the Pipe of Ambiguity)

As of 2008, Piraro indicates how many symbols are hidden in each strip with a number above his signature.

42. I think I've answered my own question.

I think the one I was missing is the loafer. I think it's a bit of a cheat that the guy is holding it in his hand. But I think that's the one that I'm missing.

I'm doing this from memory. Firecracker, eyeball, loafer, K2, UFO, pie and O2.

K2 and 02 were hard to find!

On edit, no, it isn't the loafer. The one that was hard to find was O2. The one I forgot to list was the crown. So the proper list for the items in this comic;
Firecracker, eyeball, K2, UFO, pie, 02, and crown.

Good luck if you haven't found O2 and K2 yet. If anyone wants to know, I'll tell you tomorrow. You have to keep looking today.

at the Community College level and I finally passed transfer...
For years I could literally bring tears to my eyes thinking about all the hours I put in.
Definitely get the Pyle comic.

Not with Amazon, though. In my case, I ordered (and was charged ffor) 2 identical items but only received one. But it was equally ridiculous. If I had sent a pic of the box and one prodict, how were they to know I hadn't received both but taken one somewhere else?
