	Bizarro - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Though Bizarro was destroyed in the Crisis on Infinite Earths, even before his character was reintroduced in a reimagined form, the original Bizarro made a few appearances.
		Bizarro World was erased from the history of the DC Universe during the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
		Bizarro's first non-comics appearance was in the animated series "Superfriends." In this series, Bizarro was depicted almost as an outright villain, and part of the Legion of Doom; although the last season had a more faithful depiction.

	Bizarro (comic strip) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bizarro is a single panel cartoon written and drawn by cartoonist Dan Piraro.
		Most Bizarro cartoons include a firecracker, an eyeball, a pie, a rabbit, an alien in a spaceship, and an upside down bird hidden somewhere in the cartoon.

	Articles by Bill Griffith
		Daily comics first made their appearance toward the end of the last century primarily as a way for publishers to increase newspaper circulation.
		Another factor contributing to the anemic state of contemporary daily comics is the propensity of newspapers to target their "product" at readers much in the way that politicians use focus groups to pander to constituents’ "needs".
		Strips like "Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer" (Ben Katchor), "Troubletown" (Lloyd Dangle), "Story Minute" (Carol Lay),"Life in Hell" (Matt Groening) and "Red Meat" (Max Cannon) are all noteworthy examples.There was a time about ten years ago when it seemed possible strips like these could find their way into daily syndication.

	Computers in Comic Books
		Superman's fellow DC Comics hero, Batman, had the Batcomputer in his Batcave; this wonderful machine was an indefatigable ally in his war against crime, but it was a mechanical computer, basically an electronic card sorter, and that's where the battle line was drawn.
		In comics the illusion of movement must be maintained; stationary computers are visually dull except as props, like the multitude of large mainframes that decorate the laboratory of Reed Richards, leader of Marvel Comics' Fantastic Four.
		But comic books are created to be entertainment, not serious speculation; writers may use computers (or their comic book counterparts, robots and androids) as a means to critique humanity, but they are not cyberneticists.

	Comic strip switcheroo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Comic strip switcheroo (also known as the "Great Comics Switcheroonie" or the "Great April Fools Switcheroonie") was a series of jokes played out between comic strip writers and artists, without the foreknowledge of their editors, on 1 April 1997.
		Bizarro was drawn by Bill Griffith (Zippy the Pinhead).
		While this prank has not occurred again with as many participating artists in newspaper comics (as of 2005), it still lives on, in online comics, where Internet cartoonists occasionally switch places with one another.

		The original Bizarro wore a button that said "Bizarro No. 1." His only weakness was blue Kryptonite, created by using the same machine to duplicate green Kryptonite.
		In the Bizarro world, society is ruled by the Bizarro Code, which states that it is a crime to do anything well or to make anything perfect or beautiful.
		A Bizarro Superboy was created by Project Cadmus, when they used the same process in their attempts to clone Superman.

		Of course, Bizarro’s well-known gimmick is that his worldview and habits are the opposite of the ultra-normal Superman.
		Bizarro’s first comic book appearance was much later, in the pages of SUPERBOY No. 68 (October — November, 1958) -- written by Otto Binder and drawn by George Papp -- although this version was a teenage “imperfect duplicate” of Superboy rather than Superman.
		Amazingly, Bizarro No. 1 deduces his origin; when Junior was playing with his duplication ray, it must have projected all the way into outer space, where it imperfectly copied Mr.

	The Unions: Frequently Asked Questions
		I have always frowned upon comic books because while some may have slick and colorful graphics, I find the storytelling content woefully lacking in most instances, and I feel this aspect of the comic strip is more important than the graphics.
		Nobody says a strip MUST be four panels long, and newer strips more often than not avoid this convention, but proportionally, both in terms of size and length, it remains ideal.
		The strips were published at one time in student newspapers, but for the most part, everything was and is self-published, meaning I (with some assistance from copy store personnel) do all the copying, printing, coloring, assembly, laminating, and binding in bringing a single copy of a book into existence.

	Bizzaro Comic Strip : This is odd....
		In either post/case I Guess we now know why the comic strip is so entitled Bizaro....
		There have been a rabbit face, eyeball, alien in a spaceship, fish tail, K2, crown, upside-down bird in a top hat and pie slice in the "Bizarro" strips.
		The pie obviously is for Dan Piraro, creator-artist of the strip, that is, the first syllable of his last name.

		This takes you to the web page which has been set up for that comic (usually by its syndicator.) The site can vary from a bare-bones presentation of just today's comic, to a shrine to the comic and its author, complete with a place to buy comic-related trinkets, and even original artwork.
		Most of the strips are not subject to this, but some of the more popular ones are.
		One of my all-time favorite comics is Bizarro, a quirky look at life by the cartoonist Piraro.

		Other continuity strips such as Tintin and Li'l Abner worked in Indians as a weird, primitive "other." in the 1940s, the Golden Age of comic art, Indians such as Chief Wahoo got their own strips or books.
		Presently, the best comic strips—if not the only comic strips—dealing with Indian subjects fairly are La Cucaracha (references to Latinos' Native roots) and For Better or Worse (aboriginal characters at Elizabeth's school).
		Comic strips appear in newspapers and are generally humorous.

	The Dan Piraro Interview
		Since sustained excellence like Bizarro's is rare in any medium, his willingness to shepherd his panel into its third decade is great news for comics fans and for the more than 200 papers that carry the strip.
		Though Piraro maintains that Bizarro is a comic strip for people who don't read comic strips, we all know better: Bizarro is a comic strip for people who love comic strips.
		Most of my cartoons that year were sort of average Bizarro cartoons, and I don't think my readers thought, "That was that year Dan was really angry." Once in a while there would be a misogynistic thread through it, but for the most part they were normal Bizarro jokes.

		Kamandi: Over at the Kirby Comics site, Bob recently asked what your favorite Jack Kirby era is. I answered the early 1970’s at DC and Kamandi is a large part of the reason.
		But generally, magic-based comics are too heavily reliant on mumbo jumbo, weak on characterization and plot-wise, writers tend to go too quickly to the “here’s the magic I just made up to resolve my story” crutch.

	Nukees, The Atomic Comic Strip
		Sometimes in comics, a word is bolded because of "vocal emphasis," and other times its bolded because of "contextual importance." I only want to bold in the transcriptions those words that need "vocal emphasis." That means those words in which the sentence seems to mean a different thing when the word is capitalized.
		As an example, in the third panel of today's comic, "bards" is a word I wanted to draw attention to, but King Luca wouldn't really be EMPHASIZING it in his speech, so it would remain lower case.
		This time, it was a strip which I got to preview, in blue pencil, at Comic Con.
