(32,302 posts)25. Hidden Symbol: ''The Pie of Opportunity"
Hidden symbols
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 "O2" (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.

Don't remember the movies well, but for some reason they bring to mind the Bowrie Boys
