Description
What's funnier, a dead monkey or a dead clown? How many corpses do you have to tie together to make a raft? Are pigeons recyclable? These, and many other questions we're too afraid to include here, are answered in the latest installment from cult cartoonist Max Cannon, More Red Meat . Cannon's oeuvre can be found in countless weekly papers, on Web sites, and on the sides of buildings; it has infiltrated like a particularly unpleasant strain of the Ebola virus. Plumbing the depths of ickiness--and finding it funny--Cannon has gained a fanatical following for his rubber-coated look at suburban life. This latest collection includes Cannon's classic characters like the sadistic Milkman Dan, the mentally unstable Earl, and perverted, often-naked middle-class dad Ted Johnson, as well as introducing new characters such as the sadistic marine biologist Jacques Oiseux, the mentally unstable barber Walker, and deformed, middle-class outcast Johnny Lemonhead. If you haven't picked up the first Red Meat book, do so now, then return here, buy this one, and run to the most psychedelic shag-carpeted crash pad you can find to begin a trip into illustrated delight. --James diGiovanna
