Tony Millionaire is one of the best comic book creators in the world. Every cool underground scene is aware of his creations such as Maakies [which runs in over ten of the US largest weekly newspapers] and his lovely creation Sock Monkey. Millionaire has just added another soon to be classic character to his pantheon, Billy Hazelnuts. The new hardcover from Fantagraphics combines the nuttiness of Drinky Crow with the gentle innocence of Sock Monkey.

the first time i met Tony was in an elevator going back to my hotel room. he was on the same floor as me. he asked if my friend and me if we wanted to drink with him. he said he had warm beers in his backpack. i'm not sure if it comes across in the interview, but Tony likes to drink...
true story.
