Summary: Caustic, morbid, and hilarious
Comment: Tony Millionaire's MAAKIES is a nonpareil in comics -- the wittiest, most surreal dark humor I've seen since Elzie Segar's Popeye. There is nothing arch or arty about this stuff either -- it will offend and scandalize the pure of heart as sublime comics should. The draughtsmanship is breathtaking, on a par with anything Hal Foster (of Prince Valiant fame) or Walt Kelly ever did, but that's the least of it. The wit is gin-soaked and angry, shot through with genuine pathos and not a thimbleful of sentiment. By the time you encounter Uncle Gabby the ape charging a platoon of Napoleonic alligators with his head on fire, yelling "I'm a barrel full of hate boys, open me up!" you'll know if this painful hangover cure is for you or if you'd rather just curl up and gurgle with "Mutts Vol II."

Summary: Better than a pint of gin...almost.
Comment: I was REALLY plasterred when I read this, but I remember thinking it was funny, or maybe that was just the seizures coming back.
Regardless. If I hadn't spilled whiskey all over it, I could tell you how beautiful the artwork is, i think; If I had the money, I'd buy a new one, but again, I spilled the whiskey, and I need more before the DTs catch up with me.

Summary: One of the all time Greats
Comment: Maakies is easly one of the all time greatest comic strips. Besides being beautifully drawn the strips wander drunkenly from lyric beauty to mind-numbing cruidity to nameless horror. There is no other source of such consistent humor, strangeness and unease. Gabby and Drinky Crow say the things you only think about saying as well as things you would rather not even think about let alone ever say.
How creative and uniques is Maakies? I have not once managed to describe it properly to any of my friends and have always had to give them the book so they can see for themselves.
