Michael Kupperman To Explore His Father's 'Quiz Kids' Past
Michael Kupperman is one of this decade's foremost irreverent and satirical cartoonists, known best for his Fantagraphics series Tales Designed To Thrizzle, which features characters like Snake 'n' Bacon and the human bannister, The Mannister. However, his next project is one of incredible personal importance, as in 2018 he's set to release All The Answers, a graphic memoir of his father Joel J. Kupperman, who rose to fame in the '40s on the popular radio show Quiz Kids.

Exclusive: Valiant Is Ending 'Unity' With An All-Comedy Special
There are a lot of ways to end a comic book series, but when the book is built around superheroic action, that's usually the way it goes out. Big explosions, superhero punch-outs, and at least one dramatic death tend to be the elements in the big final issue formula. But when Unity comes to an end in December with #25, following the world-shattering events of Valiant's big Book of Death crossover, that's not how it's going out. Instead, they're doing an oversized All-Comedy special, featuring Valiant mainstays like Matt Kindt and James Asmus, and bringing in The Daily Show's Elliott Kalan, The Late Show With Stephen Colbert's Daniel Kibblesmith, and the comics writing debut of Steven Universe's Tom Scharpling --- and that's just the tip of Unity's final issue iceberg.

The newspaper comics page often has a surprising amount of political (and simply depressing) content in its colorful panels, but a comic about the feminist #YesAllWomen hashtag and “men’s rights activists” by Get Your War On‘s David Rees and Tales Designed to Thrizzle’s Michael Kupperman proved to be too much for the New York Times editorial page.

"WTF? I guess I don't count, again." That was cartoonist Michael Kupperman's tweeted response a few weeks ago to an exhaustive article in The Comics Journal about one-man anthologies. Well, it was almost exhaustive. It didn't include Kupperman, whose Tales Designed to Thrizzle has been the most consistently funny comic series on shelves since its start in 2005...
