109 - Dan Piraro (Bizarro)
b'
Dan is a cigar-smoking vegan, animal rights activist, atheist, NRA hating, ex-husband, father, stand-up comedian, painter, former host of FOX TV\\u2019s \\u201cUtopia,\\u201d philosophizing cartoonist who makes his living writing and drawing a new cartoon every day, 365 days a year.
If you have ever seen Dan Piraro\\u2019s critically acclaimed comic Bizarro (and you have: it is published daily in over 360 papers), you know that he doesn\\u2019t see the world like the rest of us do. His single panel gems are a unique concoction of surrealistic imagery, social commentary, and witty plays on words. Indeed, if Salvador Dali, Garry Trudeau and Oscar Wilde had an illegitimate child, that child would be Dan Piraro.
