Let me be clear that we reject and abhor political violence in any form. But let’s be honest; sometimes it’s cathartic to fantasize about punching some obnoxious dude in the jaw.
The Shrink
Happy heavenly birthday to the great Bob Newhart/National Shrink Day (which takes place on September 5th because it’s Bob Newhart’s birthday). As someone who was in therapy for seven years, I encourage you to seek out help if you feel that you need it. It can be life-changing in a very positive way!
Black Russian
When Hack’s cover artist Jonny M. was having a conversation with his friend, black standup comedian Dévyan DuMon, Dévyan went into a comic riff on racial matters and kept giving Jonny openings to join in. Jonny, being a wealthy, entitled lily-white, dude knew there was no goddamned way that he could say a word on the subject and curled up into a self-conscious pretzel, to Dévyan’s conspicuous amusement.
Hack loved hearing about Jonny’s anguish and wrote this Cold War espionage thriller to immortalize it. It sold well in Berkeley.
