Michael Kupperman

Michael Kupperman is an American comic artist and humorist whose words and pictures have appeared everywhere from the New Yorker to Saturday Night Live. He has written four books and illustrated many more. He lives in Brooklyn with his wife Muire and son Ulysses.

"Kupperman has the highest talent-to-fame ratio among all living humorists. It is exceeded only by his talent-to-income ratio. Kupperman's cartoons are much too inventive for conventional television, like those hack spots on Saturday Night Live. Hey, wait a minute, me! It's one thing to be too funny for TV, but Kupperman's even too funny for most alternative press. His are the best kind of laughs... no heavy satire, no easy targets, just goofiness of the highest intelligence. I have diarrhea, so I'll make this quick. Kupperman is hysterical. And a real original. Gotta go." – Robert Smigel

"It has become cliché to say I laughed until I cried, but when I'm done reading one of these underground comics my shirt is literally soaking wet. This guy may have one of the best comedy brains on the planet right now." – Conan O'Brien, Entertainment Weekly "Must List"

Ranked #16 on Time Out New York's 2012 "50 Funniest New Yorkers" list

"The second funniest cartoonist worldwide, after me." – Tony Millionaire

2007 Eisner Award Nominee: Best Writer/Artist — Humor
