Bizaro Buccaneers: Nuttin' But Pirate Cartoons

Nuttin' but pirate cartoons...is exactly what Bizaro Buccaneers (Andrews McMeel Publishing, $9.99) has to offer—a collection of side-splitting, single-panel cartoons that feature Dan Piraro's classic pirate humor with an up-to-date twist that appeals to modern readers.

Distributed since 1995, Piraro's Bizaro strip appears in more than 350 newspapers. Bizaro Buccaneers is full of fantastic humorous treasures that explore the perils of being a pirate in both their world and ours. The classic pirate must learn that he "could cut his dry cleaning bills in half if he'd lose the parrot" and that no matter how many times he searches, MapQuest "cannot find any locations that match 'x.'"

With Bizaro Buccaneers, Piraro shows readers that they can feel guilt-free in laughing about people with missing eyes, hook hands, and peg legs. A pirate makes these otherwise sad and tragic things fair game for jokes that are funny as hell.
