I went back and looked through the strips on maakies.com, and now I hate this Millionaire blighter much less. But I still dont like this guest strip.

That's all I wanted anyone to understand. He's great and this just doesn't happen to be his absolute best work. I quite like it, but I can see how it may not be the best introduction to his work.

One of the best introductions to Tony Millionaire is to go to an alternative comic book store and buy a copy of Sock Monkey.  Or a head shop.

See there's the thing... I am suspicious of the notion that his work is best appreciated with the aid of other products of the head shop.

I think this is pretty appropriate on a few levels.

To me, when it comes to book purchases, head shops serve as a nice ambience without need of any additional products they may support.  Plus books you buy there have that incense smell you can't get anywhere else. 

I could never read while stoned, so I always found the connection of books at head shops more about alt culture = alt culture = sold in one handy location, rather than, say, liturature at head shop = read while stoned.

I have not played that particular game of golf in a long time, but still, even when I did, it was not affiliated with reading Sock Monkey.

I don't have any golf terminology that involves cans.

Been checking out Tony Millionaires' stuff on the net. Dude's got talent, reminds me of the Firkin cartoons by Hunt Emerson. Nice to have a one-off gag based strip for a change.

Quality first post, Troy.  Welcome.

interesting comparison, but the only way those remind me of each other is in how they both remind me of r. crumb

Shit's getting intense. Cool.

I don't know why Beef is shouting so much but "vodka colonic" sounds like a pretty good second panel setup line for an Achewood strip.

Well ironically, the artists styles are probably influenced by more than just Crumb. Even his style was not unique to him (amazingly), it was influenced by a lot of the Kustom Kar culture of the 60's culture proponents of the time, like Ed Roth, Von Dutch, Robert Williams et al.

Von Dutch

I only recognise this as an annoying clothing brand. After reading the man's thoughts on money at the dang top of his wiki page part of me died at the giant beer-shit someone took on the fellow's memory. Maybe it's just coincidence though? Maybe.

Edit: Oops, no, further reading reveals that a beer shit is exactly what someone took.

[Troy_Convers]

Yes, the irony that the Von Dutch legend has been whored to death by his heirs and the 'brand' #cringes at the word# is now synonymous with shallow dead-list no-talent c*lebrity freaks.
They can't hear me say this of course, they're too busy sucking on Satan's c*ck...
