Tearful Reunions

by Wayno & Piraro

Today’s Bizarro is brought to you by Unpleasant Surprises of the Afterlife.

We humans like to think of glorious, emotional reunions with deceased loved ones after we die but what of all the other things you lost during life? Here’s my interpretation of what that might be like.

While drawing this cartoon, I remembered a terrific cartoon by one of the single-panel masters of all time, Sam Gross. See it here.  It was my unworthy pleasure to get to know Sam a bit when I lived in NYC. He’s an endlessly fascinating guy with a NY accent fit for an informer on a cop show from the 70s. Such a brilliant mind.

REBIZARRO: Today’s visit through the archival dungeons of Bizarro International Headquarters was requested by a Jazz Pickle who shall remain nameless. (Because I can’t remember her name.) I still like it after all these years, which I can’t say about all of my cartoons. Artists of all kinds are frequently more critical of their own work than their followers and I hope that’s the case with you Jazz Pickles. :o)
