Maddox's latest book release is 'The Alphabet of Manliness: The 26 Rules Every Real Man Must Master.' It's a hilarious and irreverent take on masculinity, packed with his signature sarcasm and over-the-top humor. I picked it up the day it dropped because I've been following his work since the 'Best Page in the Universe' days, and it didn't disappoint. The chapters are structured around letters of the alphabet, each representing a 'manly' virtue—like 'B is for Brawling' or 'D is for Drinking.' It's not for the faint of heart, but if you enjoy his brand of satire, it's a riot.
What I love about Maddox is how he balances absurdity with sharp commentary. Even though the book leans into stereotypes for comedic effect, there's an underlying critique of toxic masculinity that sneaks in. The illustrations are a nice touch too—crude but fitting for the tone. It’s the kind of book you leave on your coffee table to either spark conversations or horrify guests, depending on their sense of humor.
