Sorry to say, this book did little for me. And I love Mark Twain, and enjoyed Kupperman’s latest book.

1) ''I pledged the monsters not to release their album until the nineteen-sixties, and then, disguising myself as a pile of clothes, I very slowly made my way back to England.
Winston was upset, but tried not to show it -- typical Winston. As for me, I went underground again and joined the French Underground, where I became known as 'The Nazi Stranglers,' because I strangled Nazis and they thought there was more than one of me!''
2) ''And then I saw it: a patch of gravity directly behind us. I maneuvered him towards it, and then I jumped backwards just as his massive arms were about to grab me and choke my life out. He stumbled onto the gravity, and then there was a terrible moment before it took effect, when his eyes showed the realization of what had happened, and he cried out: 'Nyyyeeet!' he yelled, and then he was moving swiftly downwards, toward the Earth. I stood in orbit and watched as gravity did its terrible work, his body transformed into a smoking meteorite as it hurtled through the Earth's atmosphere. Gravity is like fire, both a friend and an enemy to man.''

Kuppermann's talent is his ability to combine visuals and words into unique comedy. When trying to do straight writing with little artwork, it doesn't work as well. The funniest bits involve Twain's career writing scripts for porn movies.

I could see what he was aiming for, but he didn't always get there. Still, a fast, humorous read, and the art is ok. I think I'll pick up some real Twain next time.
