The latest collection of Millionaire's weekly comics strip features the high-sea adventures of an inebriate crow, a stuffed monkey, and many others.
Tony Millionaire's Maakies is one of the longest-running and most decorated weekly comic strips in America. Drinky Crow Drinks Again collects more than 200 Maakies strips from the past half-decade for the very first time! Featuring the comical high-seas adventures of a booze-soaked corvid (they don't call him "Drinky" Crow for nothin') and his equally-soused simian pal (Uncle Gabby), Maakies blends vaudeville-style humor and a breathtaking line that harkens back to the glory days of the American comic strip. Maakies suggests a contemporary collaboration between E.C. Segar, creator of Popeye, and seafaring novelist Patrick O'Brian (Master and Commander).
Our web store won't be receiving any more stock of Drinky Crow Drinks Again, but you may be able to find it from a site like Indiebound or Bookshop, or at your local independent bookstore.
