Max Cannon is at it again, with his second book of cartoons from his wildly successful comic strip, "Red Meat, " and it's every bit as twisted and edgy as the first one. Featured in sixty alternative... This description may be from another edition of this product.
red meat is simply all it states in its title-raw, fresh, juicy, gory, addictive and taboo, yet satisfiyingly delicious. Max Cannon invites you into his world along with a sado-masochistic suburban family man (ted johnson), a groveling lacky priest and his constant battle for acceptance from god, a lemon-headed man (johnny lemonhead) who is as dense as his citrus-filled skull, a brillantly deranged drunken milkman (milkman dan), a bug-eyed paranoid creepy individual (earl), a sick jolly bearded business man (mister wally), a psychotic mailman, burn victims, and a number of unfortunate children who are surrounded by these twisted indivduals in a sickly suburb. Despite the ludicrousness of the characters, they parody a deep dark black humor of the human species in hilarious, not-so-far from reality situations. Each strip is a sweet, satisfing dose of bloody-meaty redness that will leave you sore for days. to all artists, punks, and geeks-buy this book.
Milkman Dan makes Hannibal Lector look like a girl scout!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Without a doubt "Red Meat" is the funniest comic strips ever. Like a multipanel "Far Side" for adults this comic is the ultimate in day light humor with a dark, twisted center. Milkman Dan is more innocent then Mr. Rogers but a scant millimeter under the surface is a hollow evil core that is comparable to "American Psycho" Never has the inherently comic side of surrealism been so well said. My only real complipant is that the books are so short. Come on Max how about larger editions?
The funniest damn thing I've ever read
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is probably the only comic strip that not only makes me laugh, but cracks me up for (literally) minutes at a time. Everytime I re-read a strip, I laugh (perhaps even guffaw hysterically?). Redmeat is very unique. Maybe that guy from "Bosten" doesn't like it, but the rest of the world (there is a Czech translation, believe it or not) finds RedMeat damn hilariously.
Help, I'm addicted!

I can't put this book down! I spend more time at redmeat.com than working! There needs to be a twelve step program for people addicted to "Red Meat".

Max Cannon repeats his performance and succeeded to out-do himself with round two of this saga. I laughed even harder with his second book. It is THE Bible of the world of Dark Humor. Bow in supplication to the master of pen and ink, MAX CANNON!
