DAN PIRARO (aka the cartoonist Bizarro)
talk, slideshow & booksigning for "Bizarro Buccaneers: Nuttin' But Pirate Cartoons"
Friday, December 5 at 7:30 pm

Ahoy, matey! "Bizarro Buccaneers: Nuttin' But Pirate Cartoons" is just that ­ a collection for both wannabe plunderers and plankwalkers! ... (more)Brilliant and in full color, as well as a perfect stocking stuffer (hint-hint), its captain is one Bizarro, a cartoonist whose work we’ve spied in that local broadsheet, the San Francisco Chronicle. Don’t miss this special event, in which Bizarro will screen lantern slides, deliver a rogue-ish speech, and sign his name on the spot. . . . Sail ho me squiffy men!

Dan Piraro was born in Kansas City, grew up in Tulsa, and lived in Dallas for many years. He is a recipient of a Reuben Award for Best Single-Panel Cartoonist and his comic strip, “Bizarro,” received multiple-year designations as Best Single-Panel Cartoon by the National Cartoonists Society. Locally, his work is featured in the San Francisco Chronicle.

We kick off our Amazing Cartoonist Double Header with Bizarro cartoonist Dan Piraro. Piraro is a talented artist, trenchant satirist and all-around funny guy whose new collection of pirate cartoons, Bizarro Buccaneers, should bring out the inner plunderer and plankwalker in each of us.
