	Maakies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Maakies is a syndicated weekly comic strip by Tony Millionaire.
		Maakies often includes visual references to historic works of art, especially to the popular graphic arts such as Japanese ukiyo-e, European engravings, and early American newspaper comics.
		Millionaire has given differing accounts of the origin and meaning of the word "maakies." "Maak" is the name of a character in the strip, a ship's captain who apparently is Uncle Gabby's employer, and in one sense the strip seems to be named after him.

		Maakies is a collection of wonderfully drawn stories about the self-loathing alcoholic Drinky Crow and his vulgar monkey companion Uncle Gabby, who wallow in drink and degradation except when they screw up and kill themselves.
		The artwork, which is fairly detailed and traditional, and the cute characters act as a deceptive foil to the dirty jokes and ultraviolence that usually occur by the third or fourth panel of each strip.
		Maakies is a world constantly flipping back and forth between surreal poetic whimsy and scatalogical tomfoolery, innocent beauty and profane nastiness waltzing together in the ballroom of the subconscious.

		Maakies regularly transports its readers into a magically absurd world of booze, pirates, buccaneers, suicide, venereal disease, and boobs.
		In fact, Maakies is one of the most heartfelt and lovingly drawn strips one could hope for.
		Maakies is a very personal strip, I don't let outside events influence it if I can help it, it's about conversations late at night drunk in a bar, not the horrors of the outside world.

		The alternative comic strip "Maakies" stars Drinky, an alcoholic crow drawn as a constructivist concatenation of geometric shapes, and Uncle Gabby, a monkey sometimes rendered as a sock puppet.
		Maakies is distinctive for the inspired artwork and the absolutely crazed antics of Drinky Crow and Uncle Gabby.
		Maakies could only be a fin-de-siecle strip; its gin-soaked angst and violent despair could only get yuks from today's jaded mal-vivants, weaned on Celine and the Brady Bunch.

		Maakies is, on some level, about a monkey (Uncle Gabby) and a crow (Drinky Crow) and their adventures on Captain Maak's ship.
		Maakies is, at a casual glance, a lowbrow version of Sock Monkey.
		Those who go a little deeper into the pages of Maakies, however, will be surprised at just what they'll find in its pages.

		Maakies has a large range of content, from bodily function jokes to poetry to philosophical musings.

	THE HOUSE AT MAAKIES CORNER
		At around the time the first of these strips were appearing, a notable expansion of work for the artist had begun to occur.
		Fortunately for we hard-bitten soothsayers who recall avidly shaking each new edition of MAAKIES in the faces of passers-by in unasked assertion of Millionaire's genius, the original strips retain their signature cheery brutality.
		The same internally consistent dream logic, consequences that are consistent within the strip, and maintenance of a certain tone are visible in both strips.

		The only interest in the Village Voice these days is to see what new ways Nat Hentoff will contrive to outrage abortion supporters, and the cartoons partake of the paper's general tiredness.
		The alternative torch has been passed to the New York Press, where my favorite strip is called "Maakies." I don't think the name means anything; if it does, I probably don't want to know.
		The two main characters are an ape and a crow, who belong, Patrick O'Brian's fans will be happy to learn, to the crew of an 18th-century warship.

	HERMENAUT: Payload
		Since 1994, undeserving alt.weeklies across the country have been publishing cartoonist Tony Millionaire's comic strip "Maakies," which chronicles the drunken adventures—the adventures in drinking—of Uncle Gabby, the monkey bo'sun of the good ship Maak, and his nephew, the freeloading Drinky Crow.
		Like their Trickster predecessors, Gabby and Drinky are promiscuous with their bodily fluids, their limbs are detachable, they die and are reborn: all to get a laugh from us, the kind of laugh which breaks the stranglehold of The Way Things Just Are Now—even if only for a moment or two.
		PS: Beneath each "Maakies" strip is a four-panel running joke about—what else?—guys, dames, and booze.

		The occasion is the celebration of two new Millionaire books: a new "Maakies" collection, The House at Maakies Corner (Fantagraphics), and The Glass Doorknob (Dark Horse), his new "Sock Monkey" book for children.
		Drawing for kids, he says, he’s had to repress a certain urge for sex and violence seen in his "Maakies" work for grownups, as well as in earlier incarnations of "Sock Monkey." "Kids love violence, but the moms won’t buy it," he observes.
		He says that book publicists sometimes forget to keep the "Maakies" marketing for adults scrupulously separate from the pitches to the "Sock Monkey" crowd.

		Tony Millionaire achieved comics-industry recognition first in 1999 with the release of his standard-sized fl-and-white book for Dark Horse, TONY MILLIONAIRE'S SOCK MONKEY, and followed up with a children's book using the mise-en-scene of the comic book.
		The same characters as the leads in SOCK MONKEY form the core of the strip: a bibulous, dewy-eyed corvid, Drinky Crow, and an equally reprobate behatted simian, Uncle Gabby, lead short, suicidal lives on the bounding main, searching for booze and fighting with imperial crocodiles.

		It's always fun to dig through a volume of first work to see how the strip has changed, and at what point it settles in to fire on all cylinders.
		Unlike most strips, Maakies shows very little developmement on a first glance in terms of its visual appeal; it's smarter now, and Millionaire does more things with staging than he used to, but his cartoon art was good-looking from the beginning.
		The re-design, featuring the one-strip-per-page format of later Maakies books, feels at times like a volume really thin carpet samples, but is excellent all the same.
