I discovered Max Cannon's work while surfing the net one boring tuesday. After reading through a variety of comic strips I instantly fellin love with his work. The kind of dark humour exhibitedin his comics really appealed to me, & 'More Red Meat' was no dissapointment.
His style of representing his characters is, from a more collective opinion rather bland, but I found it both refreshing & original.
This book is just a tip on the iceberg to this man's genius, & I highly recommend it alongside it's predecessor, 'Red Meat'.
If you enjoy warped alternative humour, then check this out. - By: , 23 Aug 1999 
Yup, Max Cannon sure has an unusual sense of humour, which makes the 'Red Meat' experience all the more refreshing compared to other, more restrained triple panel 'serial' comic strips. His twisting of typically American (particularly 50's & 60's) stereotypes from 'normality' into a demented, perverted parallel universe is wonderfully done. As ever, the clinical acuracy of his drawings remain a constant throughout the book, barely changing from frame to frame, which underpins the deadpan humour to great effect.
"More Red Meat" boasts a host of 'new' characters, as well as the regular favourites featuredin the first book. Although it is a tad hit & miss compared to the original volume, it is still worth checking out. If you like the sound of a comic strip that describes itself as "comic strip antidote" on one page, & "dirt-flavoured mouthwash" the next (or indeed "the crack of splintering funny bones"), then this is the book for you! (As well as 'Red Meat' The First).
Even if it is occasionally a bit sick. "Blue Jam" for the cartoon world. @D£.
