A Cartoonist’s Regret

Despite being called the funniest man on the planet by Conan O’Brien, Kupperman says he wished he hadn't become a comedian.

Question: What was your biggest career mistake?

Michael Kupperman: Oh, there have been so many career mistakes in my career, sometimes it seems like it's nothing but. I would say going into comics at all is a profound mistake and anything that follows that is just compounding it. But you know, now I'm stuck with it. As they say in the Godfather, "This is the life that I chose."
