Aside from the basis of the joke itself, and you have to look carefully to get it, there is a lot going on in the first one.

Then, a collection of puns and a "dreamy" dog.

Jerry you're going to have to explain that to me, a dumb Kiwi. Yes there's a lot going on, I don't get the little girl with an arrow in her back? and thelittle dark haired girl looks to have an explosive with a fuse by her feet? The dog wearing the blue jacket and the man with a wedge of pie? on a string. With all that going on, the empty balloon on a chain doesn't look out of place. What am I missing? Andrew.

Well I found my way to Bizarro.com and I'm ever so slightly wiser slash more confused slash convinced I'm out of step with "young people of today" I've got enough ordinary stuff in life to manage/worry about without all this mumbo jumbo. Life's great mate. Cheers. Andrew.

Starting at the end - The boy is allergic to string and helium, so he's pulling an uninflated balloon with a chain.

The pie appears in most of his cartoons, along with an eyeball. I'm sure there are elements he added that I didn't notice, but he was just having fun with it. Did you notice the dynamite on the ground next to the little girl?

I don’t know if it’s American SoH, but I struggle to get a smile out of many attempts at humour here.

Bizzaro by name bizzaro by nature.

I'm guessing it's trying to get on the "Mad" magazine bandwagon.

No, Andrew I don't think you are missing much. I don't find Bizarro comics very funny. But, here is a link to information about all those symbols:

https://www.bizarro.com/secret-symbols

In the 2nd paragraph is info about the number of symbols in each cartoon. The artist has placed a number above and to the right of his name at the bottom of the cartoon. In this case, there are 8 of the listed symbols hidden in the photo.

Some are obvious, some less so.
