Sunday Comics: Tony Millionaire
“Drinky Crow” (above) is a suicidal alcoholic, but that’s what I like about him.
Here’s a cartoonist whose patron of the arts I’d love to be by buying this cartoon from him: “Scratching the Back of my Neck & The Editor “. Clicking on my link is a crap shoot. Sometimes you get the cartoon, sometimes it’s more like: Ha, sucka! Personally I love the machine gun-shooting maniac screaming “inhuman monsters!”, but you don’t get him every time. Try the link: you’ll get whatever you get, and you’ll like it!
I wrote him asking him for permission to link to a non-booby trapped image, but got no answer. Temperamental cartoonist? or just enjoying the holiday weekend? Knowing cartoonists (since I’m one myself), it could be all of the above, or none of the above. Maybe he’s counting trees in Corona. Maybe he’s trying on jeans at a factory in Cancun. Maybe he’s playing golf, or maybe he’s just having a life. Or getting killed… Anything’s possible with a cartoonist. It’s also possible he feels his “terms of use” are clear enough. *(UPDATE: Tony wrote me Monday morning and very kindly provided the image above.)
Anyway, perhaps if you’re more prosperous than I am at the moment you’ll find something you’d like to buy for yourself! His prices are actually quite reasonable, and worth every penny. (I just don’t have any spare pennies these days! But when I do, maybe my favorite cartoon will still be available.) Check out his original art. He’s famous for his “Drinky Crow,” as well as Billy Hazelnuts, and the ravishingly beautiful Sock Monkey books. He made a splash on Gawker, during Burklegate, and done this delightfully lighthearted SNL short!
He’s Tony Millionaire. If you like Little Nemo in Slumberland, or Dreams of a Rarebit Fiend, but are a way sicker puppy than these call for, you’ll love Tony Millionaire.
If Little Nemo (above image borrowed from salon.com) isn’t hard-core enough for you, try Tony Millionaire.
