Tony Millionaire's Maakies is one of the best and most popular weekly comic strips, running in over a dozen of the largest US weekly newspapers. Maakies features the adventures of a drunken crow and a suicidal ape on the high seas. Designed by publishing's foremost graphic designer, Chip Kidd, Premillennial Maakies is a newly designed edition of the long out-of-print first Maakies collection, featuring the first five years of the strip, reformatted in a beautiful, deluxe, landscape hardcover format that complements the strip's classical style.

It's all here: the dismemberments, the drunkenness, the defecation, and even the alco-rocket. This type of crude humor is not unique or new, but it's rarely been handled by such an exquisite draftsman with such a finely honed sense of the surreal. The back of this volume features a blurb from The New York Times Book Review comparing Millionaire to George Herriman (creator of Krazy Kat), and the analogy could not be more appropriate. Like Herriman, Millionaire has no fear of working on the edge of sanity and taste, but unlike lessor talents, he's not there only because he has nowhere else to go. Maakies can be charming, philosophical, and sometimes even sappy, but it is more often violent, nihilistic, and just plain rude. Which is to say, it's brilliant.
For the Maakies enthusiast, this volume is indispensable. For everyone else, it's even more indispensable. This is the kind of free-thinking, genre-bending, gag-inducing art that the ayatollahs of every nation would prefer you didn't experience. So what are you waiting for? ( )
