Amazon.com Review
As a big fan of Matt Groening's Life in Hell comic strip, I immediately went crazy for Red Meat, a new strip in the same sick and twisted vein. And now along comes this collection. Red Meat: From the Secret Files of Max Cannon presents a skewed take on a variety of institutions, from "normal" neighbors to an all-American dad straight out of "My Three Sons." Add to this a sadistic milkman and a bug-eyed, paranoid, conspiracy nut, and you've got yourself some side-splitting entertainment. Honestly, I laughed until I was in pain.

"Max Cannon dances a twisted lambada of his own devising."--the New Yorker
"Max Cannon stands alone, offering genuinely funny cartoons that . . . expose American culture's seedy underbelly."--the Onion
"Unlike the vast majority of cartoons in America, Red Meat makes me sick in a good way."--Dan Piraro, Bizarro
"Red Meat . . . holds the terrible fascination of the dissection table, or of a roadside car wreck glimpsed out of the corner of your eye--except it's funnier. Max Cannon has an undeniable genius--just don't tell him where I live, okay?"--Tom Tomorrow, This Modern World
"Possibly the only comic strip in America that uses a chainsaw to tickle your funny bone."--Erwin B. Wallace, "The Mysterious Mr. Wally"

5.0 out of 5 stars
Gut-splitting sick, perverse, WONDERFUL humor!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Red Meat: A Collection of Red Meat Cartoons From the Secret Files of Max Cannon (Paperback)
I was already familiar with Red Meat through another Web-site, but had never found a collection in book form until recently. I have not laughed this hard since the first time that I read Dave Barry's Bad Habits. My copy actually has tear-stains in it from my uncontrollable laughter. It's David Lynch on gallons of cough syrup and loads of booze, and brilliantly--if pathologically--hilarious. And after you read this book, stare blankly into space and ask out loud, "Is it still there?"

Unbelievable,
This review is from: Red Meat: A Collection of Red Meat Cartoons From the Secret Files of Max Cannon (Paperback)
This is by far one of the funniest compilations of cartoons ever printed. The humor is so dark and hysterical. I have not laughed as hard as I have laughed at this book in a LONG time. The content is sometimes sick, sometimes twisted but always hilarious. I cannot get enough. I loved it through every page. Not only is the actual cartoon funny but the titles of each one lend a hand to the razor sharp wit of the strip. This is definitely a must buy, skip Gary Larson and buy this book.

If you have any appreciation whatsoever for morbid humor, buy this man's books immediately. There's really nothing else to it.
