Bizarro (comic strip)
''Bizarro'' is a single-panel cartoon written and drawn by cartoonist Dan Piraro. Launched January 22, 1985,〔Dan Piraro, ("25 Years of Scribbles" ) at ''BizarroBlog'', January 22, 2010 (accessed November 9, 2010).〕 the panel appears daily in 350 markets throughout North and South America, Europe and Asia. Initially syndicated by Chronicle Features, it moved to the Universal Press Syndicate and then King Features.
==Characters and story==
''Bizarro'' gives an eccentric, exaggerated and, as the name implies, bizarre look at everyday life. Piraro has described it as "about the incredibly surreal things that happen to all of us in our so-called 'normal' lives."〔("DailyINK - Features (Content Offerings): Bizarro by: Dan Piraro" ). Retrieved 2010-04-03.〕 The situations are surreal, yet often plausible. Some cartoons involve celebrities, such as Sheryl Crow and Penn Jillette, while others make reference to themselves or characters from comics or animation, such as Superman and Gumby. Comics critic Tom Heintjes described ''Bizarros themes, cryptic aspects and expansion into performance art:
:Piraro has taken his panel in directions simultaneously surreal and topical. In a comic universe where world-weary talking dogs exist alongside nihilistic housewives, Piraro gives his cartoons heft by skewering his own ''bêtes noires'': wasteful consumerism, environmental destruction, corporate greed and sheeplike people, to name a few. (He also espouses animal rights in his work, for which the Humane Society honored him in January with its Genesis Award.) Though his humor is never didactic, Piraro's work is remarkable in its unwillingness to pander, even when the occasional panel borders on the inscrutable. (For example, he once used the Etruscans as a punchline; if you skipped history class that day, tough.) The 54-year-old Kansas City, Missouri, native has also begun participating in the nascent vaudeville revival with his one-man ''Bizarro Bologna Show'', an entertainment potpourri into which he incorporates puppetry, song, ventriloquism, mind reading and drawing (not to mention slides of ''Bizarro'' cartoons too blue for newspaper publication). Creatively restive, Piraro also produces fine art, some of which uses the Catholic imagery that he was exposed to at parochial school.〔Heintjes, Tom. ("Dan Piraro Interview". ) May 23, 2012.
