BIZARRO is a foolishly popular syndicated cartoon that appears in a mother lode of newspapers worldwide. In 1996 it was nominated by the National Cartoonist's Society for Best Single Panel Feature and received the coveted "Stain of Approval" from the World House Pets Association. Far too stuck-up to listen to reason, cartoonist Piraro has declined a number of offers in favor of maintaining the imagined "purity" of his work.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
Working in the same single-panel approach that Gary Larson made popular with The Far Side, Dan Piraro is at the top of his game with a surreal, offbeat and, well, bizarre look at our idiosyncratic world. When, in one panel, a pipe organ falls on a man on the sidewalk, the policeman notes, "Ironic, he was an organ donor." It may be ironic, but it's also pretty darn funny. Nominated in 1996 for Best Single Panel Feature, Bizarro also received the coveted "Stain of Approval" from the World House Pets Association (or so they say).

5.0 out of 5 stars
Bizarro comics from a bizarro mind.,
This review is from: Bizarro, No. 10 (Paperback)
This is another typically genius work from Dan Piraro. This guy's work is most often compared to The Far Side because of the single-panel format, but this is even a bit weirder, as hard as that is to believe. Some of the jokes will go over your head, but others will make you laugh out loud (I usually don't laugh out loud while reading, but Bizarro books have often made me do so). This is a great coffee table book and is fun to read with a bunch of friends. Pick this one up and you'll be hooked! Highly recommended!

What a great book! It kept me entertained and I didn't want to put it down. The cartoons are reminiscent of The Far Side.

By Picasso@HunTel.net (Nebraska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bizarro, No. 10 (Paperback)
Bizarro No. 10 by Dan Piraro is one of the funniest cartoon books I've ever read. It's the perfect book to keep in your purse or next to the toilet when you have a few moments to kill time.
