I wouldn't agree with labeling Family Guy or Venture Bros Bizarro. They essentially take place in the real world with all the weirdness explained in some fashion.

The examples I listed above are all works in which the weirdness is never presented as a cut-away or explained away. The defining aspect of bizarro is "weird" so any examples of it have to completely embrace the weird.]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/144722-the-magazine-of-bizarro-fiction http://photo.goodreads.com/groups/1259704958p2/3057.jpg 1430752 Jeff http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1232486965p2/1430752.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1430752-jeff Thu, 03 Dec 2009 04:39:37 -0800 http://bizarrocentral.com/magazine.html]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/58684-first-bizarro-book-to-read http://photo.goodreads.com/groups/1259704958p2/3057.jpg 1430752 Jeff http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1232486965p2/1430752.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1430752-jeff Thu, 03 Dec 2009 04:34:20 -0800
Most of the authors are rather different from each other, so once you figure out which ones you like it makes it easier to give recommendations. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/16707-welcome-introductions http://photo.goodreads.com/groups/1259704958p2/3057.jpg 1430752 Jeff http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1232486965p2/1430752.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1430752-jeff Thu, 03 Dec 2009 04:26:26 -0800
I'm Jeff Burk. I'm the editor-in-chief of "The Magazine of Bizarro Fiction."

I'm also the author of Shatnerquake.

It's nice to see things getting active around here.

Danielle - If you are looking for Bizarro Romance I would recommend:
House of House by Kevin L. Donihe - a bit on the darker end, but the touching story of a man who loves his house.
Zerostrata by Andersen Prunty - a romance as directed by Terry Gilliam. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/247181-coloring-contest-for-free-books http://photo.goodreads.com/groups/1259704958p2/3057.jpg 1430752 Jeff http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1232486965p2/1430752.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1430752-jeff Thu, 03 Dec 2009 03:50:57 -0800 Under the Dome (Hardcover) by Stephen King]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78120963 http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41H1cfdr3DL._SL75_.jpg 1430752 Jeff http://photo.goodreads.com/users/1232486965p2/1430752.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/user/show/1430752-jeff Tue, 17 Nov 2009 14:32:34 -0800
