OverviewHigh Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The characters in the comics were a parody of popular comedy teams. One of the characters is a snake, while the other is a strip of bacon. Other characters in the comic were Criminal District Attorney and Underpants-On-His-Head-Man. Utterances by Snake and Bacon are limited to hissing (on Snake's part) and making bacon-related comments (on Bacon's part) such as I'm real bacon and advice such as Wrap your dog's pill in me. Still, their communications are filled with sexual innuendos. The characters highlight 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, according to one reviewer.Kupperman did cartoons for Robert Smigel's TV Funhouse TV series before returning to comic book making with a series for Fantagraphics called Tales Designed to Thrizzle, using many of the characters from Snake 'n' Bacon (including the titular pair) and new characters, such as Hercules ( the public domain superhero ) and The Mannister, a man who can transform himself into the shape of a banister.
