Bizarro: Pigeons drumming up business for a human

Dan Piraro Loves Pigeons:)

Another pigeon comic from Bizarro by Dan Piraro.

Best Comics in the world, Bizarro.

Daniel Piraro is one of my all time favorite cartoonists. I don't mind buying a paper just to get his daily dose of humor in.  I've managed over time to save a few of my all time favorites and will be sharing them in the coming months. I have a few pigeon themed ones that are perfect examples of his ingenious sense of humor.

Goth Refused Hospital Treatment

A man named Stevahn Bullen was refused treatment when he went to the Rocky View Hospital in the first weeks of September.  This article was on the front page of the Calgary Herald. Mr Bullen was quoted as saying "The fact I was singled out because I was wearing something that was offensive to him and denied service - that kind of makes me lose hope in humanity a little bit."

Two Articles, One Newspaper

I caught these two articles published in the Calgary Herald newspaper, on the same day. I thought there was some irony involved as one article talks about sleeping pills causing an increased risk of death, and in the other article it is highlighting a new study on stress and ways to cope or reduce it, including the possibility of inventing a pill to alleviate stress.


Thought I would share them, enjoy:

Asian Woman Removed From Canadian $100 Bill

I was pretty shocked today when I read in the Calgary Herald that after focus groups made enough comments they changed the picture on the back of the new plastic $100 bill. I was extra interested as I also collect rare coins or bills as a hobby, but when I arrived home later that night I found out the two $100 plastic bills I had in my collection already featured the new changed picture, of a girl with more Caucasian facial features.

Here is the article for your reading pleasure.

Tattoos: Self expression or Self mutilation?

For so many years society as a whole would deem any form of poking or cutting yourself with needles or knives as a form of self mutilation. But at some point a transition was slowly made, where now people are encouraged to stretch, pull, pinch, cut, insert or mark up their entire body. In fact there is probably less then a degree of separation between those with body adornments and those with none as proof to how accepted this has become.

 If our body is a "temple", and we are putting constant permanent graffiti on the "walls" as well as opening new or enlarging old holes, then that would definitively be the most unholy of practices.

Is it just self expression or is it in fact a form of self mutilation that has been approved by society?
