Bizzarro comic strips all have a number of recurring symbols hidden in them, the number of which is indicated above the signature. I forget how many different symbols there are in total, maybe 10 or so. When I was a kid reading these in the paper, I had the symbols memorized so it was easy to pick them out, but now I only see them here and there and have a hard time telling what is a “symbol” and what’s just part of the scenery (the tea cup in the window is one of the symbols, if I’m not mistaken).
Edit: the tea cup is not one of the symbols. I think the fourth one may actually be cut off (you can see that at least the bottom of the comic is missing).

Piece of pie is under the table. Cut off.

You can see the tiniest bit of the blueberry outlining in the OP. It’s what made me think something might be missing.
