More Red Meat: The Second Collection of Red Meat Cartoons from the Secret Files of Max Cannon

Book is used, as advertised but in good to very good condition. Cover and all pages in great shape.

If you enjoyed the first Red Meat, then this is more of the same. Milkman Dan (on the cover) is perhaps the most demented character of them all; he gets his jollies tormenting a young girl. But once in a while, she gets back at him. He calls it the "Milkman Dan experience." It's great--for those who like their humor served up raw and still squirming.

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.

Max Cannon's first volume is superior, but More Red Meat is often more brutal. When I laugh out loud at the antics of a burn victim I know I'm in the presence of genius. Milkman Dan is singularly the most evil comic strip character since the guy who created The Family Circus. The more familiar the archetype, the more uncomfortable the humor--from the classic pipe-smoking Father Figure to the Condescending Priest to the "Outsider" Johnny Lemonhead ("So...which part of 'get out of town, freak' weren't you clear on, John?") Max Cannon feeds the gamut of Americana through the Meat grinder. I wish comedian Bill Hicks could have read this, and I wish they'd come out with a volume three. While I'm at it, I wish for some more of that official Red Meat non-prescription cough syrup--it's easily the strongest stuff on the market.

As the title implies, this is just more red meat comics. That is all I was asking for. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you might even throw up, but that's what it's for. Hopefully there will be an "Even More Read Meat" followed by a "An Obscene Quantity of Red Meat", and so on. I'd buy Red Meat books until I'm blue in the face. This isn't Family Circus, if your looking for that, then your in the wrong place.

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?

Red Meat is probably one of the funniest damn comic strips in recent memory. This book shows a great range of the series, from the macabre ("Don't get too close to the killer whales!" "AUGH! MY ARM!" "..Yeah, ya got too close.") to the sadistic Milkman Dan and his little girl protege ("I hate you, Milkman Dan.")Many stories excuse their simplistic drawings with the saying that the intelligent dialogue makes it OK. Most of the time they're just excusing their own laziness. But in this strip, with the same drawings often used for every panel, it really is the dialogue that makes you laugh until you cry.I highly recommend this book. My only quibble is that it isn't longer!

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.

I love Red Meat - it's great to have the further adventure of Ted and milkman Dan.

Great condition, amazing!
