I was lucky enough to get into his stuff early on by randomly picking up the absolutely phenomenal Snake'n'Bacon's Cartoon Cabaret around 2000 and being blown away. He just recently did a great story in Marvel's "All-Select Comics" 70th anniversary issue, and his twitter account, @mkupperman is universally hilarious. This dude has my guaranteed financial support for anything he works on, ever. Kupperman is about as good as it gets.
