Piraro discusses his own life, from a poor religious upbringing to life with a well-paid job in New York, leading up to his present fulfilling life as a cartoonist. The award winning Bizarro is an edgier, more inventive version of The Far Side, with every panel taking on original characters and themes. The book also discusses Piraro's strong feelings about animal rights and politics, both of which are the favoured topics of his paintings and one-man comedy show.
