Pages had previously appeared in magazines including HEAVY METAL and THE OXFORD AMERICAN. Originally the publisher was supposed to be AVON, who were going to issue it as part of their short-lived SPIKE imprint; they were acquired by NEWSCORP before that could happen. Segments of the book were later animated, first for the Comedy Central show TV FUNHOUSE in early 2001, then for the Adult Swim pilot SNAKE ’N’ BACON in 2009. The book was also translated into French by Belgian publisher LA CINQUIÈME COUCHE in 2009.” —MICHAEL KUPPERMAN (FROM HIS WEBSITE) • “An artist with a completely unique sense of humor the best-kept semi-secret in comics.” —COMICS JOURNAL • “KUPPERMAN bears the banner of absurdist comix humor quixotically forward into the next millennium.” —BOOKLIST • “Fans of MICHAEL KUPPERMAN’s hilariously surreal TALES DESIGNED TO THRIZZLE comics should be aware that his beloved characters SNAKE 'N' BACON (Sample dialogue: ‘Ssssss…’; ‘Put me on your sandwich!’).” —NOEL MURRAY, AV CLUB • “Fans of the UP ALL NIGHT strip that ran for a few years in this paper probably know that P. REVESS and MICHAEL KUPPERMAN are one and the same and have likely memorized this entire collection by now. Starring his popular lampoon of a popular comedy team—literally a snake, a strip of bacon, and their respective catch phrases—SNAKE 'N' BACON'S CARTOON CABARET draws lovingly from the one-dimensional simplicity of the Sunday funnies, with characters like CRIMINAL DISTRICT ATTORNEY and UNDERPANTS-ON-HIS-HEAD-MAN representing their absurd, absolutely…hilarious extreme…. Several longer stories prove KUPPERMAN as imaginative a writer as he is an illustrator: odysseys of pure, hysterical nonsense like ‘LONG JOHN SILVER’s Party Sex Blimp.’ It’s humor that'll have you laughing so hard by its end, you’ll feel like each member of KUPPERMAN’s league of sub- heroes has punched you in the stomach.” —JASON PAGANO, THE STRANGER (WEBSITE)• “Hilarious and super overlooked.” —GRUMPYGORILLA, AMAZON REVIEW• “Funny, original, wacky and ironic, with a multitude of artistic styles combining effortlessly to showcase the authors many talents, this book is a gem.” —NEWTONIAN, AMAZON REVIEW• “KUPPERMAN is very much a rarity in his field; a comic book artist who deals in a dreamlike humor that is witty and inventive, and free of the usual sophomoric or juvenile drag that seems to plague some of his colleagues. Another great comix artist of similar quality would be TONY MILLIONAIRE. You will laugh so hard, you'll fall off your freakin' sex blimp.” —ANTHONY, GOODREADS REVIEW• “Comic-strip nonsense of the highest caliber, evincing a nearly miraculous purity. Each painstakingly crafted panel is single-mindedly dedicated to the purpose of embodying KUPPERMAN's square, serene sense of absurdity. There are many adult situations here—and to be clear, the references and mindset are very much reflective of a corny, white, mid-century America that not everyone shares—but the short stories and strips nonetheless felt radiantly innocent, as if freshly birthed from some platonic pop-culture id.” —JEFF LEWONCZYK, GOODREADS REVIEW• “Highlight[s] what is perhaps KUPPERMAN’s greatest comedic skill—the ability to sell surreal ideas in the most serious way possible, highlighting the humor all the more vividly," —BRIAN COHEN, “THE COMIC BOOK ALPHABET OF COOL” • • For other details about this book, please see below. • TITLE: “SNAKE ’N’ BACON’S CARTOON CABARET” AUTHOR: MICHAEL KUPPERMAN (P.
