tales designed to thrizzle




Dada was an art movement started int he 20's and 30's. It was, to put it mildly, the realm of the absurd. It was basically a reaction to the horror of WW1. The horros experinced in that war were extreme that everything to dadaists was otherwordly. It's an art movement that has influnced almost every medium form the cut up style of Beat writers to the noise of Industrial music. Now ad comics to that list. Michael Kupperman's Tales Designed to Thrizzle is absurdist humor taken to the extremes of coherency. And good Lord is it funny. If the utter strangesness of the goings on won't make you laugh the vulgarity will. From baby poops-a-lot to the adventures of Snake and Bacon, everyone will find something to laugh at.
