The House of Maakies Corner

Zusammenfassung The alternative comic strip "Maakies" stars Dinky! an alcoholic cow drawnas a constructivist concatenation of geometric shapes! and Uncle Gabby! a monkeysometimes rendered as a sock puppet. They are two jolly tars on a shipcaptained by an Ahab knock-off and often beset by another ship full ofFrench-accented crocodiles in Napoleonic uniforms. Ashore! they try to maketime with women! puritanical Phoebe Bird for Drinky and a brunette for Gabby. Their patter is a stream of puns; ethnic stereotyping; and barf! scat! and sexjokes. Drunk most of the time (Drinky only F---s up when sober! he says)!they frequently blow their brains out in despair. Their crude antics occur!however! in a context of virtuosic draftmanship. The sea scenes look real enoughto illustrate Horatio Hornblower. Millionaire effortlessly adopts the stylesand manners of classic strips! including a ministrip run under the main strip.
