This review is from: Red Meat Gold (Paperback)

This is a collection of pictures with words added that one was able to look at for free once, a long time ago, and were published mostly in free weekies, you know the kind of paper that has lots of pizza coupons and 976 phone ads in it. But you all foolishly threw those away thinking cuz they were free, they were worthless!

HOO! And yes, sadly, Hah! That was all part of Max Cannon's evil plan. Knowing that there would be no extant copies of his picture boxes,( other than those left behind in bird cages in the homes of cat ladies who died, and whose bodies lay undiscovered between towering mounds of Cat Fanciers Monthly) he labored for hours stapling old strips to vellum and photocopying them late one night at the copy shop on fifth and speedway with the two am happy hour. So now you have to PAY for riches you once had for free.

Anyways, there's the usual references to nipples and a bit of spooky-ness, and of course the taglines, which I can't read, but the literate assure me are quite good during thigh slapping season. And Red Meat - GOLD!, I'm happy to report, is preternaturally tasty with the new Chipotle Tabasco®. But you already cottoned to that, didn't you?

Fantastic collection of a fantastically-weird comic strip. If you have a quirky sense of humor, you'll probably love "Red Meat."
