Jonny & Boris Meet Jim Rockford
Anchors Outweigh
Happy heavenly birthday to the great Gene Kelly!
Avenging Angels
Today is something called Be An Angel Day, which inspired Hack to think about his angelic friends Glenn and Julie, and even his cover artist Jonny M.’s late pug Winston (Hack’s dementia has increased to the point where he can’t remember that he and Winston despised each other). It’s kind of a touching book.
The Jonny File
Hack’s cover artist Jonny M. was excited about a flamboyant new pair of glasses that he got, so Hack wrote this to mock him. When Jonny’s sexual activity rose 400% after the publication of the book, Hack had to be sedated and briefly institutionalized.
Oh, and Happy birthday to Carrie-Anne Moss!
Despisal
Happy birthday to the great Amy Adams!
Donkey Business
Today is the anniversary of the death of one of Hack’s heroes, the great Groucho Marx. It inspired him to write this book in tribute to the Marx Brothers. It’s not a bad read, but most critics thought it would have been better if he had left Zeppo in.
The Janitor Was a Ninja
Their Normal
Hack attended an extraordinary photographic exhibit entitled My Normal, featuring the mind-bending work of Los Angeles photographer Maroe. He was so moved that he was inspired to write this novel in tribute to it.
The exhibit was exceedingly better than Hack’s book.
Death Coaster
Happy National Roller Coaster Day!
Jonny & Boris Meet Mannix
Happy heavenly birthday to 1970s TV icon Mike Connors!
