I've been a fan of Mr. Piraro's work for several years, and almost creamed myself when I heard he was coming out with a collection of his greatest Sunday cartoons!! "Life is Strange and So Are You" lived up to my utmost expectations, keeping me in hysterics for hours on end. My husband threatened to call poison control because he thought I must've accidentally eaten hallucinogenic mushrooms on my pizza, I was laughing so hard-but I assured him through my tears of hilarity that it was all Dan Piraro-who's just too freakin' funny!

I love his drawing style, the vibrant colors he uses, the secret symbols he sneaks in the art, and his outlandish sense of humor illustrated in every gag. The personal notes included with each cartoon give new and much-appreciated insight , sharing the author's comments and inspiration on each panel.

BUY THIS BOOK, IT WILL CRACK YOU UP!!

P.S. Thank you, Mr. Piraro, for giving of yourself, and for gracing the world with a heaping dose of laughter--exactly what we need!

Bizarro is by far one of the best cartoons in print today. He is clever, extremely funny and obviously he is a good artist. This book is cleverly done with all the little extra comments on each cartoon. They give a small insite into the mind of this cartoonist. It is truly a Sunday Treasury.

Like many of my friends, every weekday I look forward to seeing what kind of psychotic fantasy "Bizarro" is experiencing today. Unfortunately, the newspapers that I read don't carry Piraro's Sunday stuff.

This book provides that much-needed fix for serious Bizarro fans.

By simply reading the first ten pages of "Life is Strange"...
I laughed. I cried. I finally figured out what that little pie deal is all about. I also liked the little tid bits (before each cartoon)about the "where" the ideas for the strip came from. Is there any doubt that the artist is in need of extensive counseling?

Get this book. Life is too strange not to.

Bizarro is by far the most creative and thought-provoking cartoon in publication today. This book has some of the best art and jokes I've seen in a long time and a lot of very cool extra art. The best part, perhaps, is the extra comments beneath the cartoons. It really gives you and insight into the mind of one of the most interesting creative artists working today. Five stars isn't enough.

I think Dan Piraro is one of the few people who have a handle on what life is all about. His cartoons show an insight into our world that precious few have. This latest of his books exceeds what I expected. The comments on his thinking are an added plus that put him over the top.
I don't know how his next book can be any better, but I'm sure it will be. Why am I sure? because I saw his Bizzaro Bologna Show when it came through town, and he was even funnier than I thought was possible.
I really feel sorry for the people in the towns that don't have him in their daily newspaper!!!

Our newspaper doesn't carry the Sunday cartoons for Bizarro, so this was a SPECIAL treat for me.

I'm a HUGE fan of the Bizarro cartoons, so this book just completes my collection of all of his other books. What a wonderful sense of humor Dan Piraro has. He's one fun guy...or is that fungi?

This book is a must for any Bizarro fan, or for anyone who just likes to look at life with a little twist.

This is an excellent collection of Sunday Bizarro. If you're a fan of Piraro's work, this is a great collection. An added bonus are his many comments about many of the cartoons, where is also explains some of the re-occuring items he drops into the comics.

I didn't give it a 5 star rating for this reason: I fealt there was too much wasted space. On many pages he could have gotten two comics on it, give us more in the same space. But that's me.

This book is a fabulous collection of Dan Piraro's "Bizarro" Sunday comics. Unlike other cartoonists, Piraro has the incredible ability to portray realistic ideas and situations while still maintaining a "cartoon atmosphere." His ability to create such imaginative cartoons makes him one of the most original and hilariously funny artists out there. These full-color Sunday cartoons will give you an idea of how witty and true-to-life Bizarro can be.

In addition, each cartoon includes a small caption, perhaps explaining the meaning of the joke, or how Piraro came up with the idea for a certain cartoon. These small bits of information even sometimes explain who certain characters represent and their purpose in the cartoon. Also, in the back of the book, there is an in-depth explanation of each of the hidden symbols that Piraro hides in his comics. This is a genuinely funny book and should be read by all comic lovers--Bizarro or not. Such a chance to take a ride inside Dan Piraro's head is one that should not be passed up.

I have always been a big fan of Bizarro and a fairly new fan of his new stage show "The Bizarro Bologna Show". I think that this is the best book he has done and I recommend it anyone and everyone!
