	The Dan Piraro Interview
		Dan Piraro's Bizarro benefited from good timing but too often became relegated to the burgeoning category of Far Side clone; however, no clone could so successfully entwine artistic virtuosity with a unique comedic perspective.
		Yet after 17 years of deadline-mandated creativity, Piraro has refused to coast or repeat himself, and his peers in the National Cartoonists Society have acknowledged their respect for him by voting him the winner of its Best Newspaper Panel award for three years running, a string of victories without NCS precedent.
		PIRARO: Well, these things are so complicated that it's hard to say, "It was because of this." What it came down to was that she was a pretty insecure woman.

		Like nearly everyone he met on his book tour, Piraro learned that his shy-biased fears of lunatics was unfounded and he hit things off instantly with his host.

		Piraro manages to hook the reader in the first chapter and strings them along until the very end (and yes, I would say this even if he WASN'T a quasi-e-mail friend).

		Notorious for his provocative and elaborately executed drawing style, Piraro is like a curious, mischievous child, lifting rocks and peeking around corners to reveal the secrets of the universe as he perceives them.
		Still, Piraro's Bizarro is in the class of Gary Larson, so if you don't know him, you definitely have to give it a shot.
		Dan Piraro's comics are something of an enigma to me. They are exceptionally well-drawn -- almost too well-drawn for a daily strip -- and very, very funny.
