Hi Tony,
My husband and I were at the aqueduct casino and we saw your drawing of Addesleigh
Park. Fantastic! Is ther any way we could obtain a copy?
What are you talking about What is Addelseleigh Park?
Addisleigh Park is a Queens neighborhood where Fats Waller and Ella Fitzgerald and other famous black people used to live.
You still getting published in Modern Drunkard magazine? That’s the first place I saw your Drinky Crow comics. I’m not sure if they’re defunct or not, it seems they put out a new magazine every few years or so.
Don’t know! I send them the strip, but they don’t send money.
Funny, I sent them money, but they didn’t send a magazine!
I got MDM #57 recently, it’s from June of this year. It has a full page of three Drinky Crow comics in it. They not paying you for this ?
Hello, Mr. Millionaire,
How do fans/stalkers get a chance to meet you? Do you ever visit Chicago? I would truly enjoy meeting you, and purchasing a signed copy of one of your books, or, perhaps, an original work. Any plans to come to the Windy City in the near future?
Can’t get enough Maakies…keep them coming, please!!!!!!
Danke.
I love Chicago. Go to the airport and wait for me. I’ll be the 5’2″ fat man with black hair and sunglasses. You’ll recognize me, I’ll be the guy with the black suitcase.
Excellent. Heading over now. I’ll be the one with the chauffer’s cap holding the “Millionaire” sign.
OK…here at ORD and still waiting…..
Hmmm…black suitcase…fatso? Nope.
Still waiting.
Where is that S.O.B. !?!? I’m starting to think that he pulled a “fast-one” on me….
Yes. I pulled a fast one.
Disgraceful behaviour! I could never read the comic of an artist who pulls “fast ones”.
@Steve – I was only able to tollerate my stay at the airport for five days by reading EVERY Maakies © strip that I own.
I feel so dirty, now……
So, why the flat ocean at the top of this page? Is that the “edge of the world”?
You’re not making any sense.
Or is it just a good day for drinking?
