The New York Times has an interview with our friend, Maakies cartoonist Tony Millionaire.

According to the Times: “In certain New York artistic circles the cartoonist Tony Millionaire is famous for once, at the end of a very long night, having sex with a slice of pizza. This was in the mid-’90s, a period when Mr. Millionaire, who is large and striking-looking to begin with, used to favor lime-green leisure suits or a tuxedo with a bottle of vodka in the pocket. He would frequently end an evening by climbing on a table, removing his false teeth and declaring, ‘I am Tony Millionaire!’”

You can see the blood’n‘guts-filled pilot of the Drinky Crow show (not yet shown in Canada) here.
