Creative Lip Reading

Bizarro is brought to you today by Religious Dummy.

I do love me some ventriloquist gags. I saw a creepy movie called “Magic,” starring Anthony Hopkins, back in 1978 and loved it. I was a kid then and have not seen it since, so I’ve no idea if it was actually any good. Still, I’ve been sort of fascinated by the surreal possibilities of ventriloquism dummies ever since.  This gag also has “alternative lifestyle” undertones, so to me that makes it even more amusing.

In my “golden moldies” category today, I offer this cartoon with a similar theme from 2006. Evidently, I’m still amused by the idea of ventriloquist dummy as lover.
