Drinks are on the house this Saturday, May 9 at Fantagraphics Bookstore & Gallery for the fabulous “Drinky Crow Show” with special guest Tony Millionaire! His wildly popular Maakies strip appears in over a dozen of the largest U.S. weekly newspapers including the Village Voice, L.A. Weekly and Seattle's The Stranger. The comic has been adapted into the hit animated series on the Cartoon Network, which will be screened alongside a display of his original strips.
Maakies chronicles the intoxicating high-seas adventures of alcoholic corvid Drinky Crow and his equally inebriated simian sidekick Uncle Gabby, blending vaudeville-style humor and a magnificent rendering quality that recalls the glory days of the American comic strip. Designed by publishing's foremost graphic artist Chip Kidd, with an introduction by acclaimed author Dave Eggers, Drinky Crow's Maakies Treasury collects the second five years of the strip in a deluxe landscape hardcover format that complements the strip's classic style.
Millionaire’s appearance on Saturday from 6:00 to 9:00 PM coincides with the festive Georgetown Second Saturday Art Attack featuring visual and performing arts presentations in dozens of locations throughout the historic arts community. Fantagraphics Bookstore is located at 1201 S. Vale Street at Airport Way S., just minutes from downtown Seattle. Open daily 11:30 to 8:00 PM, Sundays until 5:00. Phone 206.658.0110. See you on Saturday!
