Rating:  Summary: What a treat! Review: 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.
Rating:  Summary: Life is Strange--But not for Dan Piraro Review: 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.

Rating:  Summary: Excellent new collection of Sunday Bizarro Review: 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.
