READER'S POLL RUNNER-UP: Apparently, lots of Tucsonans like their red meat seasoned with the dark and bizarre marinade concocted within the warped cerebrum of Max Cannon. The local artist, through his long-running syndicated comic strip Red Meat, has diligently dissected the seedy underbelly of American culture and exposed its fetid innards for our pleasure and amusement. If the comedy-bordering-on-horror antics of Milkman Dan and Bug-Eyed Earl tickle your fancy, you're either on medication or you're a Cannon fanatic (most likely both). With last year's release of his second collection of strips, titled More Red Meat, Cannon's army of darkness continues to march on, steadily increasing the national Meat consumption. Family Circus beware! Red Meat is what's for dinner.
