Maakies-Millionaire

Mister Six, whom all the girls

17:31 / 30.01.03

Just noticed I've not seen anyone talk about the great Tony Millionaire. His website http://www.maakies.com is brilliant and makes me laugh at work more often than the onion. Also, it's impossible to retell one of his maakies to someone as it comes out sounding terribly disturbing and not funny at all.

He did a cool batman story in the Batman Black And White I collection, and his sock monkey is very good stuff.

Any other fans here?

Did he do another story for Batman Black and White? I know he drew one for Chip Kidd that appeared in Bizarro Comics.

Have you heard what happened with Ted Rall's proposed Maakies strip? Pretty damn funny, and even funnier if you've been following the anticipation on the Comics Journal message board.

Maakies is indeed fucking (can I say "fucking"?) great if a little too dark for daily reading, the very first one with the child neglect crow is for some reason deeply saddening to me. Check out www.achewood.com as well- millionare mentioned it in a Maakies strip I think.

I've spoken about the genius of Maakies many times, but no-one noticed. Dark, fever dream stuff, stinking of rum and fear-sweat. The constant deaths, the obsession with sailing and STDs, the queasy humour...
Sock Monkey's good, but it's the Shandy to Maakies' Bitter.
