Re: the pie: In every Bizarro comic he writes/draws he adds a piece of pie somewhere, or an eye, or a tiny dynamite stick. from his FAQ: What are those little things you put in your cartoons?

Fans have come to enjoy searching for the symbols in each cartoon, and Dan always includes the number of symbols one can find in that cartoon right next to the signature. Some cartoons will have more symbols than others hiding in the drawing, so if you haven’t seen your favorite in a while, just keep your eyes open. If you’d like to discover the mysterious folklore behind the secret symbols, read all about them here.
