Hidden symbols for this new thread

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 “02” (the Mighty Oyl) (first occurrences in May 2017)

• a smoker’s pipe (the Pipe of Ambiguity), added 01/01/2021(6)

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

The rabbit is the picture in the upper right corner. The arrow is in the lower right corner of the “Log In” area on the computer, I couldn’t find the K2, Ann. Also, is the alien the round thing in the computer screen? Thanks, Jeanne

[HHilary]

crown
pie
dynamite
arrow - on screen
rabbit - top right
eye - on left screen or could b alien

whats the round thing on the arm of chair? that could be an eye

cant find your K2 @Mrs5K

[Mrs5K]

I did wonder if the rabbit was at the top right but thought thar might be too obvious

I see the arrow now. Obvious once you see it.

I wasn’t sure if the eye was on the screen or under the desk or whether one was the alien

The K2 is in the guys hair.

[HHilary]

Well done @Mrs5K for spotting the K2!

[axnr911]

Yes! That’s great, Ann, finding the K2. I think the eyeball is the thing between the chair and desk at the bottom.

[axnr911]

Here’s a really big Bizarro cartoon.

I found stick of dynamite, eyeball, alien, rabbit , shoe, upside down bird, fish tail, pipe, pie, crown (that’s 10. There’s supposed to be 12) I couldn’t find the banana or K2 or O2.

[Mrs5K]

I have got rabbit, eye, pie, O2, dynamite, bird, pipe, alien, k2, fish tail, crown & shoe.

I think that is 12.

[axnr911]

Yes, it is, Ann-- I’ve looked and looked but can’t find 02 and K2. Can you point me to the area I should search in?

[ManjiB]

I have found 11/12 and just can’t see where the elusive 12th elephant is. It was bad enough looking for the elephant in the room of pets that have been neutered when I didn’t know what I was looking for, but now it’s been made worse as I know what I looking for thanks to Ann @Mrs5K who is clearly on a roll right now.

Oh, hello, I believe there is a K2 I am looking for. I can see a K but it is a 5K, not a K2

I think it has been very sneakily hidden.

OK, I have now been through this with a fine tooth comb and still kind find the elusive 12th element.

[wolfie]

The K2 is on the side of the sofa under the cats tail.

[Mrs5K]

As @wolfie has said K2 is under cats tail. The O2 is at the top of the screen near the blue throw thing.

[axnr911]

Thank you! Thank you! Wolfie and Ann. I now see the K2 and the O2. I can relax.

[HHilary]

This one is easy. You’ll find them in no time coz you lot are good.

[HHilary]

[axnr911]

I found the same 5 for the first cartoon as Ann did. The second is much harder. I found Eye. Dynamit, Fish Tale, Alien, Pie, Bird–that’s it.
