A syndicated cartoonist describes his experiences on an unorthodox publicity tour that relied on the generosity of fans to provide him with transportation, meals, and lodging.

In this book, Piraro discusses his own life, from his Bible-Belt beginnings to his happy landing in New York City, from life with a well-paying day job and a big house in the suburbs to his much more fulfilling (if not as lucrative) life as a cartoonist.

Dan Piraro lives in a warped and twisted world, and he enables the rest of us to see that we all live there with him. Wherever he gets his weird inspiration, Piraro's single panel comic, Bizarro, has captured worldwide attention. Fans say they identify with the cartoonist's surreal take on everything from passive-aggressive crime to hair transplants to the modern job interview. Syndicated since 1985, Piraro was honored by the National Cartoonists Society with a 1999 Reuben, cartooning's highest accolade. This Sunday Treasury collects the best of Bizarro in a book that will keep fans panting for more!

BIZARRO is a foolishly popular syndicated cartoon that appears in a mother lode of newspapers worldwide. In 1996 it was nominated by the National Cartoonist's Society for Best Single Panel Feature and received the coveted Stain of Approval from the World House Pets Association. Far too stuck-up to listen to reason, cartoonist Piraro has declined a number of offers in favor of maintaining the imagined purity of his work.
