Max Cannon
Most SN&R readers are familiar with Red Meat, Max Cannon’s sadistic comic strip featuring a cast of twisted characters (see www.redmeat.com for a sample). When invited to compile a Playlist, the cartoonist humbly replied, “Thanks for asking me about my musical listening habits—nobody ever asks a cartoonist these days.” If you’re looking for a unique holiday gift, we suggest Red Meat Gold, the latest collection of Cannon’s award-winning comic strip.
