| Bizarro (Comic Strip) | comment |
Bizarro is a one-panel gag Newspaper Comic drawn by Dan Piraro since 1986.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })It is a little like The Far Side in its scope, but with a different style and approach, including conventional jokes and absurdity. That being said, the occasional Non Sequitur is not unheard of. The comic has no recurring characters or ongoing plot, though Piraro sometimes draws characters looking like himself or his wife. There are however a set of recurring symbols that are inserted into strips Just for Fun.Dan Piraro runs a blog that is more or less regularly updated with new strips. There is also a website.Has no relation to Bizarro, Superman's reverse-logically-thinking counterpart, from the Superman multimedia franchise. | |

Recurring Extra | |
| Bizarro (Comic Strip) / int_3b789458 | comment |
Recurring Extra: A pink bunny, a slice of pie, a green-iris eyeball, a small alien in a hovercraft, an upside-down bird in a top hat, a fish's tail, a stick of dynamite, "K2", a crown, an arrow and (as of May 2017) Olive Oyl or the abbreviation "O2" appear in the backgrounds of many comics. Some of the time, they're part of the joke. The number above Piraro's signature indicates how many of these extras appear in a strip. | |
