While I have to admit to being a huge Maakies fan, I also have to acknowledge that The House at Maakies Corner is the weakest of the three Maakies collected volumes that I have read so far. Uncle Gabby and Drinky Crow are as resilient as ever, but more than a few of these gags simply fall flat on their faces, and in a handful of these strips, one gets the impression that Tony Millionaire wasn't even putting much effort into his work. This is out of the ordinary for sure, and it's a fairly safe bet that some of the low points reflected in The House at Maakies Corner are an anomaly in the otherwise brilliant (and ongoing) Maakies narrative.

The alternative comic strip "Maakies" stars Dinky, an alcoholic cow drawnas a constructivist concatenation of geometric shapes, and Uncle Gabby, a monkeysometimes rendered as a sock puppet. They are two jolly tars on a shipcaptained by an Ahab knock-off and often beset by another ship full ofFrench-accented crocodiles in Napoleonic uniforms. Ashore, they try to maketime with women, puritanical Phoebe Bird for Drinky and a brunette for Gabby. Their patter is a stream of puns; ethnic stereotyping; and barf, scat, and sexjokes. Drunk most of the time (Drinky only F---s up when sober, he says),they frequently blow their brains out in despair. Their crude antics occur,however, in a context of virtuosic draftmanship. The sea scenes look real enoughto illustrate Horatio Hornblower. Millionaire effortlessly adopts the stylesand manners of classic strips, including a ministrip run under the main strip.
