Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. While not quite as consistent as some of the earlier Maakies strips, particularly those included in Premillennial Maakies, the cartoons collected in Der Struwwelmaakies are true to the magic Maakies formula, and there are some moments of revelation and comfortingly surreal black humor herein. A handful of these strips present Millionaire's unique insight on the current war in Iraq, and may indeed be the final word on the subject (or perhaps not - I'm really not sure just yet). It may not be my favorite Maakies volume, but Der Struwwelmaakies is still worth the ride. Tony Millionaire is a true modern master of the cartoon art form, and Maakies is his magnum opus for sure. no reviews | add a review

If I had to chose one word to describe the book, it would be "immature." It reads like a collection of sketches drawn by a troubled 13-year-old. And I do mean troubled--if my kid drew these, I'd seek counseling for him. (I say "him" because misogyny is a common theme in these comics.)
Bottom line: a huge disappointment for fans of Millionaire's other, less crass (and more interesting) works. ( )
