It's actually a eyeball and the creator has about a dozen overall some or many appear in every cartoon. Each has a significance explained on a few websites that follow Bizarro. It used to take me minutes to find them when he gets tricky.

Lots of cartoons use hidden messages.

It looked a little like an eyeball to me, but I wasn't positive. So did I get all 4 or was it just the eyeball that was right. The comic was fairly simple, and those things were the only things that stood out to me.

Wow, it seems these have a lot more stuff.

13 (I've maybe found 12 or 13 - arrow, alien, O2, bird with a hat, bunny, eyeball, dynamite, pipe, k2, blueberry pie, shoe, walking fish, #7)


8 (8 out of 8 - dynamite, pie, alien, eyeball, pipe, O2, k2, crown symbol)


8 (8 out of 8 - fishtail, eyeball, dynamite, shoe, pie, alien, k2, o2)

The top one has the crown for the win. #7 is not on his list.

Good catch on the crown. I love this sort of thing, finding stuff in pictures. As a kid, I used to always do "find 5 differences betweeen the two pictures" thing in the comics.

Who would want that old used race car for 14 grand?


1897 Amoskeag steam-powered fire engine of the Boston Fire Department. Weighing 17,000 pounds (7.700 kg). Boston, Massachusetts, USA. Ca. 1919.








Harvard Mark III
Computation Laboratory staff member Ambrose Speiser debugging a test program at the coding box of a stored-program computer in Cambridge, Massachusetts, August 10, 1949. It was professor of applied mathematics Howard Aiken's 3rd computer, named ADEC (Aiken Dahlgren Electronic Calculator), 250× faster than his 1944 Harvard Mark I because it was mostly electronic with some electromechanical parts. Built at Harvard University and delivered to the U.S. Naval Proving Ground, Dahlgren, Virginia, March 1950. It used 5000 vacuum tubes, 1500 crystal diodes, weighed 9.1 t, and had 4,350 words of magnetic drum memory. Using 16 digit BCD encoded numbers, read and processed serially, four bits at a time. Addition time was 4.4 ms, multiplication was 13.2 ms including memory access time. The Mark III used nine magnetic drums! One drum could contain 4,000 instructions of 38 bits read in parallel in 4.4 ms. The arithmetic unit could access two other drums – one contained 150 words of constants and the other contained 200 words of variables. This separation of data and instructions is now known as the Harvard architecture. There were 6 other drums that held a total of 4,000 words of data, but the arithmetic unit couldn't access these drums directly. Data had to be transferred between these drums and the drum the arithmetic unit could access via registers implemented by electromechanical relays. This bottleneck made the access times long 80 ms.
The Mark III, also known as “Bessie” because it mostly computed Bessel functions, had the potential to be a significant entry into the field of computing, but events slowed its completion until competitors finished other markedly superior systems.

Back when Porsche first started using adaptive cruise control, PCNA sent all kinds of weird special tools like that for use with the Hunter alignment equipment to adjust the cameras. I remember being trained on using the stuff but don’t ever remember having to use it at the shop…but then my memory ain’t what it used to be!

BTW that car was purchased in May 1963
by Beverly Spencer, Hillsborough, CA, USA
- paid $14.000.-
Spencer Buick Inc. Authorized Ferrari Dealer,
3700 Geary Boulevard,
San Francisco, CA

They put it up for sale in December 1963 for $14k

Quote:
63/dec - offered for sale, asking $14,000, incl. spares (wheels, tires), through Bev’s San Francisco Ferrari dealership Spencer Buick, Inc.
in 1964 it was sold to George C. Dyer Sr.,
Hillsborough, CA, USA - paid $12.166.-
and he painted it blue

in January 1993 it was sold to Brandon Wang, London,
for a reported GB$3,000,000 - $3,500,000

Today it would probably cost $25 million+
