About this Collection

This collection gathers the complete run of Michael Kupperman's absurdist comic series, featuring the surreal adventures of Snake 'n' Bacon as they host a bizarre variety show. The book includes parodies and cameos of historical and fictional figures such as Albert Einstein, Sherlock Holmes, and Dracula, blending slapstick humor with clever literary and pop culture references.

In "Creamed Corn Bossman," Billy Batsansauce encounters an eccentric wizard who grants him powers tied to the titles of porn films—each letter spelling out a risqué phrase. Determined to reject the magic word, Billy vows never to use his abilities, but the consequences of that promise are far from simple. Written and illustrated by Michael Kupperman, this surreal comic blends absurd humor with a quirky, self-contained mystery, all wrapped in a cover by Kupperman that matches the story’s offbeat tone.

Wonder Book Junior

In this absurd satire from Snake 'n Bacon's Cartoon Cabaret, Bugs De Meany's wild claim that Portland is Missouri's capital sets off a bizarre chain of events, forcing the perpetually bewildered Wonder Book Junior into a surreal, over-the-top quest for geographic truth—where the only thing more questionable than the facts is the method of verification.

District Attorney of 1,000 FacesBugs Flannery

In this sharp, absurd two-pager from Snake 'n Bacon's Cartoon Cabaret, the District Attorney, bored by the mundane crimes of Bugs' mob, forces them into a grand heist just to liven things up. What follows is a hilariously over-the-top caper where criminality meets satire, all in the name of entertainment.

In this delightfully absurd slice of satire from Snake 'n Bacon's Cartoon Cabaret, a robotic Abraham Lincoln—after a surreal detour from the Hall of Presidents—follows a woman home, only to confess he’s not actually a robot at all. With a mix of vintage charm and deadpan humor, he attempts to win her over through an unexpectedly earnest song, turning a historical figure into a surprisingly awkward suitor.
