Upon due consideration, and allowing what I think is enough time, I’ve decided that I prefer Piraro to Wayno.
Would that be Jesus vs. Ganesh?
Amen, Big Chief.
Not only is Piraro’s humor better (and more bizarre), his art is more sophisticated than Wayno’s.
I wonder if Gahan Wilson had been thinking of Alice:
Twinkle, twinkle, little bat!
How I wonder what you’re at!
Up above the world you fly,
Like a tea tray in the sky.
It took me all day to work out what Mr. Wilson was getting at. I kept trying to make the guy in the car a cop, and the flying tea-tray escaping bad guys, and that didn’t work AT ALL.

That immediately came to mind, but I would guess that instead of just the saucers, they’re bringing the whole tea set.
Would that be Jesus vs. Ganesh?
Then the Jewish kid grabs the win while they’re busy?
I thought they where just standard government agents studying aliens. The flying saucer were just the preliminary kidding around. The flying tea set is when they get serious.
“Upon due consideration, and allowing what I think is enough time, I’ve decided that I prefer Piraro to Wayno.”
I curious as to what could possibly be considered hasty.
@Brian in STL; Jesus IS THE JEWISH KID.
Gotta hand it to PBF for color-coding the pajamas to sort of match the respective champions/deities.
I like it that Ganesha’s rat buddy gets into the action.
I also prefer Piraro; but I believe that the pressue to produce good material every stinkin’ day, year after bloody year, would take its toll. I understand that Dan needs to slow down a little; smell the roses, as it were. At least he is still drawing Sundays. How much would we love to be getting new Calvin and Hobbes, Bloom County, or Far Side cartoons, just one day a week? A LOT, I’m telling you. So thanks to you, Dan Piraro.
Did you know he moved to México and is now doing his art, rather than the daily comics?
Would I be correct in assuming this one’s sold out? I can’t find anywhere on the page to buy the book, only a print (of the cover?). I already have ‘Best Read on the Throne’.
Well, I bought the paperback, no-signed-by-the-author version from amazon. Better than nothin’. Thanks for the heads up, Shrug.
As to the “arlo” – when I was in law school (I am not lawyer as I did not finish in time) I was friends with a woman in my class who happened to be African-American. She told me that when salesmen and Jehovah Witnesses knock at the door, her boyfriend would get completely undressed and answer the door. She that generally after they had the door opened by a naked African-American male they did not return.

Um, we ARE getting new Bloom Counties, sporadically, but more than one new one a week on average…

I think Jesus vs Ganesha is not a fair fight. Elephant vs human is pretty uneven to begin with, and then Ganesha has twice as many fists.
That’s okay, though. I like Ganesha better anyway.
