Green Eggs and Maakies

Book excerpt: Maakies has been one of the best and most popular weekly comic strips in America, running in over a dozen of the largest U.S. weekly newspapers, including The Village Voice, L.A Weekly, Chicago Reader, and Seattle’s The Stranger. (It was also a short-lived Adult Swim animated series in 2008.) As written and drawn by renaissance lush-cum-degenerate Millionaire, Maakies features the comical adventures of a drunken crow on the high seas, blending vaudeville-style humor (with plenty of bodily fluids and grievous bodily harm) and a breathtakingly beautiful line that harkens back to the glory days of the American comic strip. Green Eggs and Maakies is our eighth collection and features yet another two years’ worth of Maakies in a beautiful, deluxe, landscape format that complements the strip’s elegant and classical style.
