 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.

 Computers in Comic Books
How many worlds were saved, in how many science-fiction comic strips, by someone pulling the plug or shutting down the power?
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.
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.

As for the science, Wilson claims in his author's note that the scenario he postulates "may seem like science fiction, but it isn't." Well, actually it is—and what's more, it's bad science fiction.
As Tome explains in the baby-talk/Bizarro-world dialect, seemingly lifted from bad Tarzan films, that Wilson gives all the members of his hybrid species: "Sims grow up large group, no mommy, no daddy, just child sims.
Wilson routinely injects supernatural or fantastic elements into his thrillers to lift them above the mundane; here, he hitches his wagon to the hottest science of the day.

Bester's bizarro novel from 1956 was way ahead of its time, at least in terms of sheer weirdness and cracked feats of the imagination.
