About this title

Review

As a big fan of Matt Groening's Life in Hell comic strip, I immediately went crazy for Red Meat, a new strip in the same sick and twisted vein. And now along comes this collection. Red Meat: From the Secret Files of Max Cannon presents a skewed take on a variety of institutions, from "normal" neighbors to an all-American dad straight out of "My Three Sons." Add to this a sadistic milkman and a bug-eyed, paranoid, conspiracy nut, and you've got yourself some side-splitting entertainment. Honestly, I laughed until I was in pain.
