Sumo Bizarro [Paperback]

Dan Piraro (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 1, 1990

In the grand tradition of the first four Bizarro books, Sumo Bizarro is a heavenly mixture of all that is good and evil in the world, drawn together with an intellectually stimulating sense of detail and ludicrousness. What innocently seem to be nearly two hundred hilarious and thought-provoking cartoons, when properly interpreted, come together miraculously to form the heretofore unknown secrets of happiness and health. Fun for all ages.

This review is from: Sumo Bizarro (Paperback)

It appears to be a law of nature that to be a good cartoonist, you need a devious, twisted mind and eyes to match. Those qualities can be used to describe the person who signs their cartoons Piraro. The circumstances described in these cartoons are generally lampoons of what happens, either daily for many people or as an unusual news event. Some of them are quite twisted, such as the psychic a smile on her face and a note saying, "Having an out-of-body experience, be back at 1:00." The cartoons are funny and obviously the product of an unusual mind. This certainly helps the rest of the people look a little more skewed at the problems they are facing in their lives. If you need a fresh yet unusual look at life, this book will provide it.
