Snakemommy wrote back and provided me with this scintillating video of Louise the Burmese Python jumping through a hoop, just like in the cartoon. If you missed the beginning of this story, check out my previous post! Thanks, Snakemommy!
She also reminded me that this was Louise's second appearance on my blog. Here is the first.

Snake
I'll be posting some new cartoons tomorrow but for today I offer you this photo which just came in from a reader who calls herself Snakesmommy. This is her pet python, Louise, and she is shown here enjoying a Bizarro cartoon about a trained snake act in the circus. The cartoon appears in "The Best of Bizarro" and "Life is Strange and So Are You, a Bizarro Sunday Treasury" is featured in the background. I have no background info on the blue ring.
If you'd like to send me photos of your pets with Bizarro cartoons, please do so. Who's going to stop you and why should they try? It's really none of their business.
To see this cartoon up bigger, click on the left breast pocket of the animal trainer.

Items with asterisks (*) are pre-order items.
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 falls just a smidge more to #68 on the overall chart.
* A huge debut for Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne at #4, and it seemingly has coattails as a number of other Batman books show significant gains.
* The two other debuts are the latest volume of Irredeemable and Adrian Tomine's Scenes from an Impending Marriage.
* Scott Pilgrim's sales momentum has moved almost entirely to his Precious Little Boxset.
* Dead Watch: Nine volumes on the chart this week.
* A relatively good week for manga, as all three debut volumes from last week remain on the chart, with Naruto in particular showing an impressive gain.
* Only Avengers at the #50 slot keeps Marvel from being skunked on the chart this week. (It's at #2,654 on the overall chart.)
