Product Description

The long-awaited third Read Meat collection is a glittering mother load of twisted hilarity mined from the award-winning alternative comic strip. Cannon's internationally popular strip features a disturbing and sidesplitting cast of characters that includes latex-clad fathers, sadistic milkmen, vomiting robots, malformed neighbors, incontinent interdimensional beings, decomposing clowns, and dozens of other bizarre Red Meat denziens who will keep you laughing until it hurts. Pure Gold!

It's for intellectual carnivores... Published 9 months ago by Jack 5.0 out of 5 stars great comics The item is great, I love Red Meat. I've known it for a long time but I never had the chance to own a collection and I'm loving it. Read it, it's incredibly funny.
