Maxine is a bona fide phenomenon. Her likeness graces mugs, calendars, T-shirts, collectibles, and even a 2.5-foot doll. She"s been hailed by the press as the "Mother Lode of laughs" ("People" magazine) and "The queen of outrageous" ("McCall"s"). Maxine is fresh, funny, odd, and ever-so-deliciously twisted. Maxine"s creator, artist John Wagner, based part of his character"s tell-it-like-it-is persona on his grandmother, mother, and maiden aunts. "She"s been a voice for a silent group of women that are glad that this cranky old woman is finally saying what she wants." The voice of Maxine comes out as: "My soul"s had enough chicken soup. It wants some chocolate." "My idea of feng shui is to have them arrange the pepperoni in a circle on my pizza." "I may be old, but people who look like me always win the lottery." "Maxine: Yelling It Like It Is" includes all-new, never-before-published material, all in full-color.
