The Best of Maxine!
by Marian Henley
(Republic of Texas Press, 2002)
Laughing Gas is a collection of Marian Henley's Maxine!, a weekly comic strip in syndication since 1981. Maxine is a ponytailed pundit who, as one editor observed, "always has her mouth open." Maxine offers an opinion on everything that matters most: love, religion, politics, philosophy, and of course, bad hair.
Reviews

“A weekly pinprick of manic, disturbingly comfortable comedy.”
