bizarro bonanza
i just picked this up on a recent trip to NYC, being a long-time fan of dan's work. the comics themselves are always amazing, some of them made me burst out laughing on my bus ride home, garnering stares from my fellow passengers. the commentary that goes with the comics is what really makes this book special. by the end i felt like i really know dan and have a sense of what makes his work stand out in the comic world. he also has a great way of conveying the urgency of his politics and views on animal rights in a simple way that is easy for people to understand. dan is a man who has a talent for changing the world for the better with humour, and god knows we can use that these days. the book is highly recommended.
Very funney and very intolerant
Bizzaro is one of the best comic strips I have ever seen. Even on the all too numerous occasions when it is clear that my political etc. views are diametrically opposite to Mr. Piraro's I find his comic strips funny and very clever. I even have a reproduction of one his 'strips framed and hanging on a wall in my house. This collection is one of the funniest comic strip collections I have seen and it is also published in a very high quality (for a paperback) format- it is *not* your typical flimsily bound and poorly printed paperback collection. I also like the fact that he reveals where his ideas come from. This brings me to my second point: it's one thing to include your political and religious beliefs in your book. These illuminate the origin of many of his ideas, but it's another to have them constantly shoved down your throat in a very childish fashion. He writes with the style of an angry and idealistic high school student with no thought that anyone else with very differing...
Fights Alzheimer's Nine Ways
One of the few good reasons to spend retirement years in America is the dependable presence of at least one laugh in your morning newspaper, aside from those sardonic guffaws you suppress with a sob when you look at the front page. Now, none of you techno-whippersnappers had better tell me that the comics are available on-line anywhere I wander, anywhere I roam, cuz looking at Bizarro on a computer screen is about as gratifying as staring at a photo of a snifter of cognac. It's the smell of the newsprint and the satisfaction of snatching the pertinent image from your lovey at her sudoku. Yes sir, that's livin'! Gets you all stirred up for tooling around Sun City in your golf cart. Dan Piraro has been amassing a comprehensive dossier of my own particular world-view for many years, one frame at a time, but I've been abroad enough to have missed any number of his sharpest insights. But with this here book in my suitcase, I can face moving to "The Sequoias" with equanimity...

A sickly twisted introduction to the Bizarro Genre
There are a lot of talented authors out there who are writing gut-twisting tales that just don't fit into the accepted mainstream of the New York Publishing Houses. If you are a horror or punk fan, then this tasty little sample simply should not be passed by. I for one love the Odd, the Bizarre, the Sick & Twisted, and the breath of freshly foul air that comes from hidden fictional treasures. This isn't a book for the squeamish or faint of heart. 'The Bizarro Starter Kit' is a collection of short and flash fiction grouped by author rather than story, so I'll give the lineup by author: D. Harlan Wilson - 'At The Funeral', 'Cops & Bodybuilders', 'Hairware, Inc.', 'The Man In The Thick Black Spectacles', 'Classroom Dynamics', and 'Digging For Adults'. Wilson proves a spectacular ability for the new flash-fiction genre with his absurdly bizarro tales. My favorites were Hairware Inc. and Digging For Adults. Carlton Mellick III - 'The Baby Jesus Butt Plug'...
Great introduction
Since I'm already a fan of Carlton Mellick III, I decided to check out the Bizarro Starter Kit to read work by other authors in the Bizarro genre. I loved the whole collection and will definitely be checking out more books by these authors. For those of you that are unfamiliar, the first page offers the following explanation: Defining Bizarro 1. Bizarro, simply put is the genre of the weird. 2. Bizarro is literature's equivalent to the cult section at the video store. 3. Like cult movies, Bizarro is sometimes surreal, sometimes goofy, sometimes bloody, and sometimes borderline pornographic. 4. Bizarro often contains a certain cartoon logic that, when applied to the read world, creates an unstable universe where the bizarre becomes the norm and absurdities are made flesh. 5. Bizarro strives not only to be strange, but fascinating, thought-provoking, and, above all, fun to read. 6. Bizarro was created by a group of small...
Beware all who enter ....
If this is a "Starter Kit", I can't wait to see what comes next! This is a shocking, disturbing, in some cases sick, but fun read - just what they intended. If you can make it through this, you, like me, are pretty weird! The longer stories are: Mellick's "Baby Jesus Butt Plug"; Johnson's "Extinction Journals"; Donihe's "Greatest F*cking Moments in Sports"; Ranalli's "Suicide Girls in the Afterlife"; Duza's "Don't F(bleep)k With the Coloured"; Beard's "Survivor's Dream"; Lawson's "Truth in Ruins". Shorter pieces are by Wilson, Sakowski & Taylor. Beware: Most (if not all) of the longer pieces have been published as stand alone books - each costing more than this book.

Yo-ho-ho and Ha-ha-ha
Piraro's Bizarro cartoons are a riot and this is a collection of his best pirate cartoons. The book is small, well made and packed with laughs. If you like Bizarro you will like this book,
A series of lively vignettes complete with 'find the unusual item' in each picture
Pirate cartoons are the foundation of this collection from the popular Bizarro cartoon series, offering a series of lively vignettes complete with 'find the unusual item' in each picture. Libraries interested in lively contemporary cartoon collections from popular one-panel strips, especially centered around a popular theme such as pirates, will find BIZARRO BUCCANEERS a winner.
Funny but a bit short.
I like Bizarro comics and this book is funny but I was through it pretty quickly but I would still recommend it

The perfect gift
I've been a fan of Bizarro for years, but this book is AWESOME! So funny, so smart, and great art.
Bizarro Heros
Another great book from Dan Piraro. Some of these cartoons will be familiar from the funny pages, but there were quite a few that I don't remember ever seeing before. Bizarro is the best drawn newspaper single panel cartoon, by far, and after all these years is still often the funniest.
Brilliant comics
This is a fantastic collection of Superhero comic parodies by one of the best humor cartoonists around. If you are a newspaper comics fan, buy it. If you are a Superhero comics fan, buy it. If you need a fun, inexpensive gift for a friend who likes comics, buy it.

Wingnut Welfare Queen Star Parker's Bizarro Definition of Racism ...

Posted by admin Feb 07, 2012

When a Popular caller notable the racism coming from the likes of Glenn Beck and many of those at the Tea Bag protests and said there is racism on all sides of the aisle, and asked Ms. Parker why evangelicals don't get overturned about the end price or about the many of Iraqi babies killed in "this incompetent war we had", here's how she responds.

Parker: He's also not the first President that has gotten objection from day one. We saw it under Bush and even before Sept. 11th. This is what we do as Americans. This is our culture.

Now getting to the issue of racism, you're really repay. I am guaranteed that there are racists in this society on both sides. There are waxen racists, there are coal-black racists, there are Korean racists, there are Japanese racists, there are... sprint is an outcome regardless.

But now what we have to say are... is that everybody in the Republican Dinner party racist. See this is what liberals have tried to persuade way of life of. All of the racists are in the Republican Social gathering.

American Idol: Bizarro World

Posted by admin May 19, 2011COMMENTS

Tonight is Top 3 Night, so we get three songs from each of our contestants: their choice, Jimmy’s choice, and Judges’ Choice. Usually this can make or break a contestant — Syesha Mercado got saddled with the Happy Feet song to ensure a David/David finale, and Kris Allen broke up the Danny Gokey/Adam Lambert finale in season 8. This is also where we lost Elliott Yamin, one of my all time favourite contestants. So here we go, with Beyonce mentoring our contestants.

It might be a bad sign that I’m more interested in the extended preview for Terra Nova than I am for Idol, right? But heck yeah, that was intense and awesome. Anyone else ready for the next big Sci-Fi adventure?! (Yes, I am a sci-fi nerd too.)
