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 and 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 featured in the first book. Although it is a tad hit and 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, and "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. @DŁ.
