Meet The Creator Of "Bizarro"

King Features

The elevator doors open, and the person waiting notices that the elevator occupants are all standing perfectly upright... but on the wall.  "Going left?" one of them asks. 

This is the work of Dan Piraro, the cartoonist who draws the daily newspaper strip "Bizarro."

His unique take on the world as it does NOT currently exist (but might, who knows?) has delighted fans for years. 

And produced some hate mail, too, apparently.  Dan Piraro appears at the Eugene Public Library on Sunday (September 27), and on our program today.
