5.0 out of 5 stars He blows the makeup off the face of life, May 31, 2008

To be one of the best cartoonists, you must be capable of twisting yourself into a form that allows you to look at the world through a sequence of fun house mirrors. Dan Piraro is such a person. His cartoons present a face of the world that is always there; ordinarily it is hidden by some very effective makeup. Piraro strips off that chemical facade and shows the world as it is. You will love these cartoons, but only if you are a little bit twisted yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best of Bizarro is awesome, June 18, 2000

Well, this is a great collection. The artwork is great, but it's the clever conceptions that make these cartoons so funny. There are no stock characters or favorite themes, every panel is original and fresh. Highly recommended.

The reason I chose that title is because Dan Piraro seems to think of simple everyday things and then let loose his imagination to create these amazing comics. Just like The Far Side and Steven Wright, there are things in his books that will make you think "why didn't I think of that?" Of course, there are also some that will make you scratch your head. All the while, you will be looking at some of the greatest comic art ever shown in a newspaper. This guy has a gift and you owe it to yourself to check out the often weird, often hilarious world created by the brain of Dan Piraro. I'm glad I did!
