Adventures of Maxy J Millionaire
Login to Add a Favorite
Maxy J Millionaire is a rambunctious stuffed toy who loves four things in life; wearing his custom robe, eating chicken nuggets, writing people checks and his girl Roxanne. One day Roxanne commits the unthinkable and sleeps with her new boyfriend on top of Maxy. Disgusted and heart broken, Maxy J sets out to find his own place in the world. Sneaking off with the mail man, Maxy soon learns that the rest of the world is not as hospitable and accommodating towards a tiny toy in a red fox suit as Maxy would have believed, and certainly not as loving as Roxanne. Maxy quickly decides to return to his home. There's only one problem, Maxy J doesn't remember where home is. In a rollicking tale filled with bikers, hip-hop beef, homeless bloggers, adulterous wives, trendy rock bands and a desperate Roxanne in search of her beloved stuffed toy. The Adventures of Maxy J Millionaire is fanciful tale about a small stuffed doll, making a big impact on people's lives and hearts and eating plenty of chicken nuggets along the way.
I really like this comic, have you considered trying to publish it in a children book format?
This is awesome! I really wish you'd won. :)
Goofy but kinda good. Worth reading.
This is a very interesting comic from presentation to the end. I thought about the character from Where the Wild Things Are only instead of monsters he has an objective and now is facing the world. Good stuff.
This or crooked man should have one
Yeah, this was a truly great one. I'm glad you're gonna keep the story going.
Thanks for the support guys. And you are correct,
Here's a link to where you'll find the new home of Maxy J. Millionaire!

Paul,
Maxy J. was one of my favorites, and I wish it had been ranked higher. I hope you continue his adventures. Maybe there's a place for him over on Act-i-vate?
Peter
One of my favorites - this should be higher!
Paulsome, I wanted to say that I've really enjoyed your comic. A lot.
David, Thanks. As I'm sure you know, you'll be able to read the rest of Millionaire at some point or another.

Cassie, sleeping pills?
-----------------
mpd, It's not nice or ok. I can't wait to draw more of this if only to write more Maxy dialog and catch phrases.
-----------------
frankenstein, Any lady that doesn't make you happy, Frank.
-----------------
Sam, Maxy says, " No no no no no, vote vote vote vote!"
-----------------
pmboston, Ba doom crack.
-----------------
Philip, Great job guys, that was a lot of fun.
-----------------
Ricardo, Thanks.
-----------------
Pontman, Where have ya been!?
-----------------
niko, Wow, thank you. I've stated it before, but I fully intend of finishing the story as a full time project somewhere in my schedule for 2008.
-----------------
Victor, You know the way into my heart. Tacos. Actually, if you really want to celebrate with me, bust out some Empanadas, I'm half Chilean.
---------------
JSLoomis, You know, you're actually pretty dead on with that. Thanks for the Christmas present in the form of stars.
Very cool little comic. It kind of reminds me of "Where the Wild Things Are" meets ... hm. I dunno - "Forrest Gump" or "Rock Star" maybe? I gave it four stars on day one! But you're so far behind now I decided to give you an extra star and a comment for a push. Good luck!
I voted for Maxy J I rated you and I'm leaving this comment good for one taco-redeamable at any hispanics home namely mine.
p.s. does not include the state of New Jersey.
p.p.s.s pop gun was like a slick hollywood party minus the coke plus less reading was involved... translation=it rocked
p.p.s.
I made an account here at Zuda just so I could vote for The Adventures of Maxi J. Millionaire. I would really love to see more of this little fellow. You have my full support, Paul, and I hope you will continue this story even if you don't win the competition.
Finally posted my vote, good luck man!
WOW a "bad @ss" Charles Dickens thing!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
Ok, the thing is.. The story is cool, but, I don't like the art work... Sorry.
Keep work on it!

Maxy Fans, check out the interview between Maxy J. Millionaire and the Knave of Krypton at www.knaveofkrypton.com/interviews.html, now online.
Sorry, but I can't bring my self to believe these numbers. Who's running this competition, the federal government?
8th?!!!
No no no no no no no no no!
This turn of events is giving me an existential crisis.
Huh? What's a stink lady?
Number 8! This competition is turning into I don't know what! Much more of this to swallow and I'm off. Too much, too much!
Maxy J keeps throwing nuggets at me everytime I try to get to my room because he is losing! Vote for Maxy or I may never sleep again!
I've said this before, but I'll say it again ... this is really a great comic.
RKB, Good luck to you sir.
------------
Rudis, Eh, I don't want votes that bad. I could spend the endless hours trying to reupload an icon drawing comics instead. IT WOULD be funny though.
--------------
Sam, we need R Kelly to start singing. Wait...Maybe we don't want that. Weird, my girlfriend doesn't take to being called "stink lady" either.
-------------
Melody, I'll be signing books in Austin, Charlotte, NY and Boston next year if any of those places are in your area. I don't think I'm going to make the trip to San Diego.
Just so you know, I now find myself compelled to refer to my wife as Stink-lady.
She sems less than overjoyed with this development.
any chance of you selling some autographed copies of aqua leung when it comes out? *puppy dog eyes*
This comic needs to be ranked higher!
Fly, Maxy, fly!
And stuff!
if you really change your icon to a burrito, i'll change my vote from frankie to maxie j.
Paul: So I only have like a million more times to go?
-damn-
click here to keep clicking...
Rudis, YEAH? I've been told to change everything about my being during this contest, so I might as well just take the plunge. My new name is Raul Mayburritos, and my new icon will simply be an iconic burrtito.
-----------
RKB, I did in fact do a victory dance when my avatar finally worked. I must have uploaded it 4 million times.
-----------
Manny, thanks, most of my other work is a little more serious and darker. It was nice to pick something bright with happy "candy" colors. Heh, my Mom even called me and told me she liked it. On another note, props for doing a comic solo. I don't think most people appreciate the effort it takes to be a one man band.
-------
I'm absolutely in love with the art. I view this comic every once in a while just to enjoy it's visual glow.
Wah... At least he's not flipping off the readers, besides if paul has the same problem I do he couldn't change his avatar if he wanted to- stupid zuda bugs!
hey paul,
i suggest changing your avatar (this advice from somebody with a generic zuda star avatar). On a subliminal level and on a literal level - you are making a face at all your readers.
do i think this is the reason your not ranked as high as most of your fans think you should be?
yes. i do.
Hey Everyone, looks like Maxy slipped a little in the rankings. Time to get your sisters and girlfriends and mothers to vote for Mr. Millionaire.
Also, I've been having computer issues since this contest began, but starting soon I'll be posting Maxy J production sketches and original layouts with slightly alternate story on my site's journal.-- www.deliciosbrains.com
---------
Melody, Hey, Zuda as a whole will get what it wants in the end. I'm probably going to get to scripting the rest of Maxy J in a couple weeks.
---------------
Sam, we need more votes so Maxy J can stay on this site, and so you don't have to go to jail!!
---------------
mpd, yeah I honestly didn't think Maxy would get this low. If I were slightly more invested I would be pretty floored myself. I feel bad for a comic like Word Of Power that hasn't even seen the top 4 though, and could easily be there as far as I'm concerned.
----------------
daneman, I like that!
---------------
Marc, me too, but I'm actually happy with all the readership and conversation over Maxy J despite it all. Word Of Power needs to shift UP!
---------------
Illinest, I'm probably doing the same thing, so don't worry about it.
-------------
pmboston, It stinks!
-------------
detective, My only regret is I didn't get to show more of Maxy enjoying his robe in the first 8 pages.
------------
famished, Thanks, maybe you can check back on Maxy J when there's a little bit more to the story down the road.
------------
rpriske, no doubt. You should check out some of my other work if you're not digging this.
------------
toastmonster, thanks, I'm currently without a scanner, but I can't wait to get some new Maxy art on the internet after this month is over.
I just keep coming back to this one. Love it.
Eep. I really don't care for this one. To each his own.
Matisse, anyone? Sorry, haven't posted to this stink forum yet so I thought I'd add my stink comment. Like the stinkiness, paulsome. Stink on! On the whole, I wasn't into it in terms of story, but I did think the art fit well and I liked the dialogue.
You got my vote. Of all the comics in the current competition I felt yours was the most refreshing. It has an indie comic feel with great polish and good humor. The style you work with lends itself so well to the fantastical, surreal story and characters you're using. Glad you're working in comics.
ps I also wear my robe before bed, and all other times I can climb into that most comfy of wears.
Maxy at 6th! no no no no no no no!
My vote is set for Maxy!
....but if it comes down to Pray for Death vs. Crooked Man at the end then I'll be switching over to support the one that I'd actually look forward to reading.
I'd play it straight if the top 2 were both of interest to me, but there is such a gap in enjoyment that I think I'd be doing myself a disservice if I didn't do everything in my power to get my second favorite comic up on top of the chart.
I'm honestly surprised. I thought the views would correspond with the votes a little more.
maurice sendac meets super mario 3...
where the wild mushrooms grow!
That's twice now this comic has made my jaw hit the floor, first for being just plain brilliant, and now for being ranked 6th. I'm astonished! Baffled even! Ah well ...
What?!! Maxy J falling in rank?!!
Urge to kill rising, rising...
@Kwanza
oh, I know. I wasn't yelling at you guys. I was just venting a little. ^_^
Melody, the people move the rankings not us.
I'm offended that they moved Maxy DOWN. what a crazy system.
*pouts*
Jernell, That was my number one goal with this, so I'm stoked to hear that.
----------------------
Tim, some kind of cool comics collective I think.
----------------------
Goldman, thanks, Maxy has fallen on hard times with the contest system, but apparently a lot of people are reading it and enjoying it despite its ranking.
---------------
I haven't read persepolis, There's probably an answer for your burning questions somewhere below in all the discussion. I'm sure you can figure out that zuda probably wouldn't pick a comic with nudity and language for a contest.. I don't see how that would make it a better story either.
-------------
ptimony, I couldn't tell you. Some people must have more votes with less views and less discussions and that counts more I think. The zuda rankings are a mystery to me, but that's probably a good thing. I'm just happy so many people are reading it.
WHAT? How did this drop to 6th place?!?
The art reminds me of Satrapi's Persepolis. It wouldn't work as well if it were in any other style. I wonder where the story is going, and I wonder why I even care. Maxi is interesting by himself, but I wonder why his owner has to be grown up. If this is an kids's story intended for adults then it could use foul language or have a nude scene. As is it kinda hovers somewhere between limbo and WTF. On the whole this story doesn't really work for me. It's interesting to see that it is doing so well in the rankings.
