Artist Bio: Dan Piraro & Wayno
The brains behind Bizarro Comics, Dan Piraro, has built a reputation as one of the sharpest cartoonists alive. With a career spanning decades, Piraro’s work blends social satire, visual puns, and surreal comedy. His signature style often sneaks hidden icons into panels (look closely and you’ll find eyeballs, bunnies, or alien ships lurking in the corners).
In more recent years, Wayno has joined forces with Piraro, bringing his own wit and biting humor into the mix. Together, they’ve redefined what gag comics can be—clever, thought-provoking, and always unexpected. Their work has been featured in major newspapers, won multiple cartooning awards, and continues to thrive as a daily dose of irreverent joy.

When your roommate joins a rotating religion subscription box, complete with lightning strikes. The gag nails both consumer culture and blind faith.

Pirates call their buddies “matey,” but one poor soul gets stuck as “chum.” The sea has its favorites, and not everyone survives them.
