On today's
episode I talk to cartoonist, illustrator and author Tony
Millionaire. Originally from Gloucester, MA, Tony's been drawing
for most of his life, but it was his early-1990s comic strip
Maakies that really put him in the public eye. Starting in the New
York Press, Maakies was soon syndicated and became one of the most
popular weekly comic strips in America, running in many of the
largest U.S. weekly newspapers, including the Village Voice, the
L.A. Weekly, the Chicago Reader and Seattle’s The Stranger. He has
won numerous Eisner and Harvey Awards, including “Best Syndicated
Strip” in 2004 and “Best Writer/Artist — Humor” in 2007. Maakies
was even turned into a wonderful show on Adult Swim called The
Drinky Crow Show. In addition to all of this, Tony created the Sock
Monkey books, illustrates for The Believer, and Fantagraphics has
published a number of his collections. And this is but a small
sampling of his credits and accomplishments!
