Sinking Feeling

Bizarro is brought to you today by Flatulence Put To Good Use.

I truly enjoyed drawing this scene with the exception of the Transformer in the right corner. Those things have WAY too many parts on them. Some of you younger Jazz Pickles might not realize it, but Transformers came out as toys  decades before they became a movie; sometime in the late 19th century, I believe. They were less complex then because they didn’t have the technology they do now so each toy had to be fashioned out of scraps of twigs and bamboo held together with hemp twine. These days, they are made from a combination of lead-based materials from China and environment-destroying plastics.

I researched this image to make sure I got it right but I can’t remember exactly which one it is. I think it is called “Wavetron” and when it’s not being a murderous robot thing, it folds up into a curling iron.
