Lustige Zeichnung

Bizarro is brought to you today by Inspirational Art.

If you're as big a fan of ruthless dictator emoticons as I am, you'll love this cartoon. It features a Hitler emoticon. Actually, I've never seen a Hitler emoticon before my friend and partner, Wayno, sent this gag idea to me. To hear him tell it, his wife thought up the emoticon and he figured out a way to make a joke out of it. Then I drew it. I'm the blue-collar in this equation. Here's Wayno's story about it, which, if it differs from mine at all is just him lying again.

Speaking of attempted genocide, let's take a cartoon visit to The South. Somebody wrote to me and said that in Mississippi, people don't say "y'all." I admit I've never been to Mississippi, but I was raised in The South and have traveled a bit there and have never come across a state where they didn't say it, so I'm going with my original premise. If you've ever lived in Mississippi, let me know the truth. History demands it.

I'm off to wrestle with the tedious details of my job as the greatest cartoonist currently living in my building. Aufwiedersehen, y'all.

N = New listing appearing on list for first time
R = Item returning to the list after having been off for 1 or more weeks


Commentary:

* The Wimpy Kid stays on the top once again, and rises a bit to #64 on the overall chart.

* For the second week in a row, DC debuts a book in the top ten. This week it is Daytripper at #7. I figure there must have been some mainstream media attention for the book?

* DC also debut new Flash and Fables volumes in pre-order near the bottom of the list. The other debut this week is a pre-order for Nemesis, which is also Marvel's only entry this week in the top 50.

* Last week's big debut, Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne, rises up to #2 on the comics chart and #181 overall.

* At this point, sales of the Scott Pilgrim box set have pretty much supplanted sales of the individual volumes. The Precious Little Box Set remains at #5, while only two of the individual volumes even chart this week.

* Dead Watch: Ten Walking Dead collections chart this week, including the compendium which moves back up into the top 10.

* The bottom of the list is #2,400 overall this week.
