Summary: The greatest cartoonist alive!
Review: This book is a work of cartooning genius! Not since the days of George Herriman and Rudolf Dirks has an artist produced such biting wit coupled with superb surreal inkwork. There is a story here entitled "Have You Ever Tasted Adventure In Your Own Bathtub" which has to be the funniest comic strip I have ever seen! I can't recommend this book strongly enough for anyone who is serious about great comics.

Summary: Inspired beyond words
Review: When I first heard of Snake 'n' Bacon about a year ago I laughed out loud. I hadn't seen the drawings -- the idea alone tickled me. Now I've seen the art and I'm knocked silly.Michael Kupperman is a genius. This collection of work is profoundly inspired. He's created superheros the likes of which have never been seen before: Underpants-on-his-head-man; Dr. Slappy; Rip Lazybones and His Futuristic Wonderbed; and Professor Gastropod to name only a few. And superheros aren't necessarily his strong suit. Part surreal, part non-sequitur, all inspired. The humor comes from the concepts, the dialogue, and the art itself. If you're a fan of humor that lands in the ballpark with Gary Larson, Monty Python, The Onion, Robert Smigel, Smack the Pony, National Lampoon etc., this collection is for you. And for your friends. Do yourself a favor and get it now! You can thank me later.
