I draw silly pictures for a living!

About Me

I do a syndicated cartoon feature for newspapers called, Bizarro . I have 14 books out, the newest is just hitting stores now. It's called "Bizarro and Other Strange Manifestations of the Art of Dan Piraro" and it's a retrospective of my whole career to date. I have a cat named Jemima. I have several blue shirts. Also some other colors, but I can't think of them just now. I like tequila.

My Interests

Interesting things and things that are not boring.

I'd like to meet:

Leonardo da Vinci, whoops he's dead. Come visit my store on CafePress!
