Drawn by artist Dan Piraro, Bizarro is a single-panel cartoon strip that has been going since 1985 and has been published in over 360 newspapers and magazines.
One of the old-school cartoonists, Piraro has made the transition into web-based comics, a completely different ballgame where the competition is fierce and most artists struggle to make even a basic living from their craft.
Piraro is a prolific artist who aims to make a new comic every day, 365 days a year. Residing somewhere in Mexico with his beloved wife (who he refers to as his ‘Olive Oyl’), his takes on the absurdity and mindlessness of modern life are designed to make you think, as well as laugh.
According to his bio, his single panel gems are a “unique concoction of surrealistic imagery, social commentary, and witty plays on words. Indeed, if Salvador Dali, Garry Trudeau and Oscar Wilde had an illegitimate child, that child would be Dan Piraro.”
While he has produced thousands of comics with a variety of topics and themes, this list deals exclusively with therapy. Piraro often includes his ‘secret symbols’ in his comics too, the number he has included is indicated right above his signature. Look out for 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 his children Krelspeth and Krapuzar), 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) and an upside down bird (the Inverted Bird).
Can you find them all? Lay down on the couch, relax and scroll down below to check out some of Piraro’s classic comics, and don’t forget to upvote your favorites!

Should have included Kevin Conroy. While he didn't physically play Batman, he did voice him.

There is an anecdote about Shtirlitz - a Soviet spy in Berlin (In the TV series he is played by a famous actor Tikhonov): Shtirlitz wakes up in a prison cell. He doesn't remember how he got there, what day on the calendar and who is in power. He thinks for a long time and finally decides that if the Gestapo enter the chamber he will say: "Heil Hitler, I am SS Standartenfurer Otto von Shtirlitz", and if the Soviet soldiers enter, he will introduce himself: "I'm a Soviet intelligence Colonel Maxim Isaev". At this point, the policeman comes in and says: "Damn! You were so wasted last night, Mr. Tikhonov!"
Reminds me of the south park episode where the chef had multiple personalities
Just call him Batman. Pretty sure that's what he calls himself. At least that's what he told Terry in that Batman Beyond movie. Return of the Joker, wasn't it?
Also, pie under the chair and eyeball under the lounge and on the far right degree
the 4th one is the eyeball on the poster above the actual one ( sorry im confusing)

A slice of Pie,a dynamite, an eyeball and a bird are hidden in every photos...
Now I want pie. And lit dynamite. And an eyeball. And a birdie with a hat. And...
I was curious about the dynamite, pie, eyeball, and bird in the comics and found this: http://bizarro.com/the-secret-symbols/
Same! But I just first read the comic panel. And then looked for the right amount of items. Though at some it doesn't say how many items there were. That frustrated me! Haha. But great comics!

After a while I started paying attention to the random objects hidden in each cartoon. Like the slice of pie.
