Snake and Bacon's Cartoon Cabaret
"What? What kind of question is that? Who are you and how did you get into my office?"
Culled from Michael Kupperman's weekly comic strip "Up All Night," this book is an appropriate ode to that feeling of sleep-deprived anhedonia you get when you're... well, up all night.
It's filled with surreal characters and nonsensical situations - Peter Faulk as a crime-fighting robot, the enabling "pirate in your dresser," an inanimate-object-brawling Pablo Picasso and, of course, a sex-blimp - all illustrated in Kupperman's beautiful faux-woodcut style.
This is the funniest comic book I've ever read.
This is the funniest comic book I've ever read.
Michael Kupperman gots the crazy. His comics are full of bizarre characters, pointless detours, meaningless and boring plot twists, and the little-known facts of famous people's lives. Typical comic plot line: a man gives himself the strength of twenty men.... and subsequently flees from the twenty-five men who want to beat him up. Plus, there's the hilarious exploits of Snake 'n' Bacon, who never stop hissing and tasting good in the face of adversity. You need this book, is what I'm trying to
After coming off of Maus this was just a disappointment. Felt a lot like everything you see on Adult Swim, but not nearly as funny. Yet another graphic novel that tries to be weird for weird sake, but doesn't actually make you laugh at all. Move on...
SNAKE: Ssss!BACON: Use a towel to wipe up excess grease.
Cartoon Cabaret feels like pulp fiction. It feels like it's from before I was born. But at the same time, its humor has this straight-faced absurdity that's modern and wonderful.For a representative example, see "Love's Tiny Robot": http://www.flickr.com/photos/16938754...

This is one of my favorite books of all time. I have never laughed, out loud, so hard, sitting alone reading a book as I have with this little slice of genius. At any given time, I'm not really sure whether I currently have a copy of this or if I've lent it out. Usually I'll just buy another. This book will change your life.This is the funniest comic book I've ever read.
