Michael Kupperman has already indulged his love for Mark Twain in the pages of Tales Designed to Thrizzle (Fantagraphics, 2009), but the recent publication of Twain's real autobiography has inspired the cartoonist to a full-blown, book-length masterpiece of hilarity. Readers eager to see how Twain hunted the Yeti ('Come out here and face me, you snow-covered coward!'), met the Six Million Dollar Man, had a love affair with Mamie Eisenhower ('Boy oh boy, this lady was one hot dish') and accidentally became involved in X-rated films will devour this tome.
