the maakies weekly comic strip is usually crude, disgusting, and general way out there. on that note, it’s one of my favorite strips in existence. for whatever reason, the stranger, has stopped running it on its back inside cover each week. this makes me sad. drinky crow and uncle gabby have provided me with endless insights into what i should do with my life and how to make the world a better place! so if you live in the general puget sound area, drop the stranger a line and tell them what fools thay are for removing such a valued visual and literary strip from their pages.

the stranger’s sister pub, the the portland mercury continues to run the maakies.
yet another reason that beef must relent and admit his love for portland
booo! no one will email me back. i’ve emailed every address on the site (not in a mass email bit individually). Maybe now I’ll call.
write a letter… maybe they’ll publish it. in the mercury if you’re offensive enough or funny enough they’ll even award you ‘letter of the week’ and you’ll win some fantastic prize…
Here is what I wrote initially:
Drinky crow, where are you? I miss you throwing up in my lap each week on the back page of the stranger. The last I heard from Uncle Gabby, was a phone call in December. I couldn’t hear him to well over the noise in the background. It sounded like multiple llamas were being abused in unspeakable ways. Please come back Uncle Gabby, we’ve always loved you.
