Maakies with the Wrinkled Knees

Tony Millionaire’s Maakies with the Wrinkled Knees (2008–present, Fantagraphics) is a single-issue comic that expands the surreal, beautifully unhinged world of his long-running Maakies strip. Known for its intricate, crosshatched art and darkly absurd humor, this installment follows the boozy misadventures of Uncle Gabby and Drinky Crow as they navigate nautical nonsense and existential dread. Millionaire’s singular voice—equal parts Victorian illustration and drunken vaudeville—makes it a must-read for fans of his distinctive, melancholy comedy.
