Customer Reviews

Dan Piraro is a comic genius!

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!

Life Is Strange and So Are You

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.

What a treat!

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.

Life is Strange and So Are You

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.

Life is Funny and So is Piraro

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.
