I guess Arlo and Janis didn’t think of this…
“You mean to say there was a file in that cake you sent me!” Actually, this would have been prime interrobang territory.
And one for the Arlo Page

Comics I Don't Understand
Explaining the comics with as much civility as is conveniently possible
Venus has apparently had a mastectomy. Not only is her left breast (which is below the hand in the painting) not visible, the curve of the right one is missing, too.
The file in the cake gag doesn’t quite nail the landing. If he simply dumped or gave away the cake, it’s unfortunate (for him) but not especially funny. Maybe something like, “Next time, put a larger file in the cake. One too big to swallow.” Or, “There was a file in that cake? So that’s why I haven’t seen Lefty in weeks.”
“Steamboat Bill Jr.” has a great sequence where Buster Keaton tries to get his tough guy father out of jail with a loaf of bread loaded with tools. The old man wants nothing to do with his son’s baking. Buster tries to pantomime the contents whenever the jailer’s not looking.
I found the bird, O2, alien, shoe, dynamite, pie, crown, eyeball, and bunny in that Bizarro relatively easily, but the reduced resolution made it very hard to find the K2.
Yeah, I can’t find a K2 (though even before you saying there was one there, I assumed it was the one I wasn’t seeing, since it’s both especially common and particularly easy to hide)… Li’l help?
@ Kamino Neko – I wasn’t able to see it until I went back to the original (at bizarro.com): it’s on the third man from the left.
P.S. However, the benefit of looking it up was that I discovered that Piraro (or Wayno) finally got rid of the annoying illustrated frame. I might put Bizarro back on my Sunday list (Wayno’s dailies aren’t consistent enough for my taste).
And then there’s always the file without the cake joke . . .

I suppose in a cupcake would be a nail bile. Bada bump.
Ah, yes…there it is…well hidden indeed.
