Review

What's funnier, a dead monkey or a dead clown? How many corpses do you have to tie together to make a raft? Are pigeons recyclable? These, and many other questions we're too afraid to include here, are answered in the latest installment from cult cartoonist Max Cannon, More Red Meat. Cannon's oeuvre can be found in countless weekly papers, on Web sites, and on the sides of buildings; it has infiltrated like a particularly unpleasant strain of the Ebola virus. Plumbing the depths of ickiness--and finding it funny--Cannon has gained a fanatical following for his rubber-coated look at suburban life. This latest collection includes Cannon's classic characters like the sadistic Milkman Dan, the mentally unstable Earl, and perverted, often-naked middle-class dad Ted Johnson, as well as introducing new characters such as the sadistic marine biologist Jacques Oiseux, the mentally unstable barber Walker, and deformed, middle-class outcast Johnny Lemonhead. If you haven't picked up the first Red Meat book, do so now, then return here, buy this one, and run to the most psychedelic shag-carpeted crash pad you can find to begin a trip into illustrated delight. --James diGiovanna
