Dan Piraro, the creator of the iconic comic strip Bizarro, has been making readers laugh for decades, with his daily comics appearing in more than 300 newspapers. His instantly recognizable art style has left a lasting impression, especially for those who grew up flipping through the paper and spotting his work.

Before fully dedicating himself to cartooning, Dan also spent time as the host of Fox TV’s Utopia!. But no matter where his career took him, comics remained his true passion. Today, he’s still creating and sharing his work, including on social media. With numerous awards to his name, it feels like the perfect time to revisit some of the best Bizarro comics our community has loved over the years and enjoy a well-earned dose of nostalgia.

Technically, they also immigrated; the only people who aren't immigrants are Ethiopians

    Wait, so it's "of the Devil," but at the same time it's a "choice of lifestyle"? The logic doesn't logic.

    The logic is that he's chosen to accept the Devil's evil and should instead fight against it. Just like gay people should all choose not to engage in any gay behaviour. It's entirely consistent with what these bigots would say, it's both the Devil's work and your own choice to accept it.

    Lol. Judges 20:16 mentions "700 left-handed warriors who could sling a stone at a hair and not miss". It's not so much "left-handed is bad' as "right-handed is better". Right-handed is a majority, so they pick righty as a position of power
