Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Dark humor! Leave a copy on your mom's coffee table!
Review: Max Cannon repeats his performance and succeeded to out-do himself with round two of this saga. I laughed even harder with his second book. It is THE Bible of the world of Dark Humor. Bow in supplication to the master of pen and ink, MAX CANNON!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Even I Love Red Meat and I'm A Vegetarian
Review: Max Cannon's first volume is superior, but More Red Meat is often more brutal. When I laugh out loud at the antics of a burn victim I know I'm in the presence of genius. Milkman Dan is singularly the most evil comic strip character since the guy who created The Family Circus. The more familiar the archetype, the more uncomfortable the humor--from the classic pipe-smoking Father Figure to the Condescending Priest to the "Outsider" Johnny Lemonhead ("So...which part of 'get out of town, freak' weren't you clear on, John?") Max Cannon feeds the gamut of Americana through the Meat grinder. I wish comedian Bill Hicks could have read this, and I wish they'd come out with a volume three. While I'm at it, I wish for some more of that official Red Meat non-prescription cough syrup--it's easily the strongest stuff on the market.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hilarious and disturbing
Review: Red Meat is probably one of the funniest damn comic strips in recent memory. This book shows a great range of the series, from the macabre ("Don't get too close to the killer whales!" "AUGH! MY ARM!" "..Yeah, ya got too close.") to the sadistic Milkman Dan and his little girl protege ("I hate you, Milkman Dan.")

Many stories excuse their simplistic drawings with the saying that the intelligent dialogue makes it OK. Most of the time they're just excusing their own laziness. But in this strip, with the same drawings often used for every panel, it really is the dialogue that makes you laugh until you cry.

I highly recommend this book. My only quibble is that it isn't longer!

Summary: the classic conclusions of coulrophobia
Review: red meat is simply all it states in its title-raw, fresh, juicy, gory, addictive and taboo, yet satisfiyingly delicious. Max Cannon invites you into his world along with a sado-masochistic suburban family man (ted johnson), a groveling lacky priest and his constant battle for acceptance from god, a lemon-headed man (johnny lemonhead) who is as dense as his citrus-filled skull, a brillantly deranged drunken milkman (milkman dan), a bug-eyed paranoid creepy individual (earl), a sick jolly bearded business man (mister wally), a psychotic mailman, burn victims, and a number of unfortunate children who are surrounded by these twisted indivduals in a sickly suburb. Despite the ludicrousness of the characters, they parody a deep dark black humor of the human species in hilarious, not-so-far from reality situations. Each strip is a sweet, satisfing dose of bloody-meaty redness that will leave you sore for days. to all artists, punks, and geeks-buy this book.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: TERIBEL!!!!!!!
Review: This book was pointless. The editers must have had their eyes closed. It was an outrage they published it. The dialog was teribel.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The funniest damn thing I've ever read
Review: This is probably the only comic strip that not only makes me laugh, but cracks me up for (literally) minutes at a time. Everytime I re-read a strip, I laugh (perhaps even guffaw hysterically?). Redmeat is very unique. Maybe that guy from "Bosten" doesn't like it, but the rest of the world (there is a Czech translation, believe it or not) finds RedMeat damn hilariously.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Milkman Dan makes Hannibal Lector look like a girl scout!
Review: Without a doubt "Red Meat" is the funniest comic strips ever. Like a multipanel "Far Side" for adults this comic is the ultimate in day light humor with a dark, twisted center. Milkman Dan is more innocent then Mr. Rogers but a scant millimeter under the surface is a hollow evil core that is comparable to "American Psycho" Never has the inherently comic side of surrealism been so well said. My only real complipant is that the books are so short. Come on Max how about larger editions?
