Max Kelly is a strong, successful woman who has delayed marriage for her career and often wonders if she has become the man she’s always wanted to marry.
Like most people she is a mixture of emotions, values and contrary behavior. She is successful and confident, but insecure and vulnerable, sympathetic but snobby, educated but trite, she makes money but is always broke, she loves people but can’t stand them – she’s complicated, who isn’t?
She’s also conflicted about men. She loves them and their attention because it makes her feel feminine and attractive, but hates it because it makes her feel self-conscious and like a sex object.
She appreciates male energy – it is intense and stimulating. But she hates it because it makes men competitive, selfish and act immature.
She respects strong men who know how to take charge, but resents their controlling, domineering personalities. She wants a nice guy, but they aren’t edgy or sexy like bad boys or hunks, but bad boys and hunks are selfish and vain.
So what’s a girl to do except deal with it and laugh and bitch a little along the way?
Max Kelly is the creation of illustrator, and author, Graham Sale whose familiar illustrations have appeared in books, advertisements, newspapers, on licensed products, and clothing. He began drawing and writing her in the 1980's as Muffy the Yuppie from Hell.
Max also has her own free-ecard website: www.maxkellyonline
Enjoy Max!

I don't get it... I'm successful, I own my home, my credit cards are platinum, my car is paid for, and still I have clothes I actually fear. |
Long time no hear... I'm great, but Jim and I broke up... religious differences...He thought he was God. |

One day when you least expect it, Love's spark will find you, light a fire in your heart, and then burn your house down while you sleep." |

Good girls have only one credit card and rarely use it. Really good girls have only one pair of panties and rarely wear them. |

Why can terrorist training, weapons of mass destruction making, American hating...dictators get a bank loan and I can't? |

Jane I envy you and Tom having someone to grow with. Don't kid yourself, Max the only thing growing in our relationship is my ass and his love handles. |

Admitting you have a problem with food is half the solution. Unfortunately the other half isn't a cherry-chocolate-cheesecake. |
If I'd known it would be so long before I had sex again. I'd have had some serious going-out-of-business sex. |
Ginger, how do you like Jack's new apartment? I couldn't be happier. He's got his own bathroom and can pee on the seat to his heart's content. |

Not another wedding! By the time I get married all my friends will be pregnant and too poor to afford wedding presents. |
Ginger call me back in 10 minutes! It's a disaster. He lied about everything. His email photo is at least then years old and the only thing we have in common is I have a father his age. |

Days like today I love being single. The next time I want to hear the pitter-patter of little feet I'll put shoes on my cat. |
"I really miss romance... Snap out of it, Ginger. Romance happens when irrational exuberance and unrealistic expectation open up a can of whoop-ass on your common sense. It's always a disaster. I miss it to. |

Hawaii, sounds great, Ginger! Sunny days, sandy beaches, hot nights with men in grass skirt.... I must remember to bring to pack my grass blower. |

Sleep with you? Listen carefully you pompous, trans-Atlantic worm, I wouldn't touch you with her hands! |

Do you think Renee's had work done? Are you kidding, Ginger, the woman is put together like a ransom note." |
It scared the crap out of me Ginger! I'm pathetic. I can survive a Brazilian Bikini Wax, but a tiny spider gives me a conniption. |

Just Just so I'm clear Mr. Hollywood Big Shot. I should be impressed that you're a Bis Success in such a mediocre town? |
Another person was killed today trying to beat a train at a railroad crossing. Such a senseless tragedy. ""It's not senseless, Ginger...It's thinning of the herd." |

Beginning Monday, I'm going to the gym and establishing a routine once and for all. Max, you already have a routine. You don't go. |
I need to start dating trustifarians. Ooo, I hear Island men are hot, mon. No,Ginger, I mean someone with a trust fund." |
