Charles Bukowski - Classic Sketch

Gonzo journalism is a style of journalism that is written without claims of objectivity, often including the reporter as part of the story via a first-person narrative. The word "gonzo" is believed to have been first used in 1970 to describe an article by Hunter S. Thompson, who later popularized the style. It is an energetic first-person participatory writing style in which the author is a protagonist, and it draws its power from a combination of social critique and self-satire. It has since been applied to other subjective artistic endeavors.

The Thompson For Sheriff design is inspired by Hunter S. Thompson's run for Sheriff of Pitkin County, Colorado in 1970, an event that became known as The Battle Of Aspen. Ultimately unsuccessful, Thompson managed to carry the city of Aspen and forced the Republican candidate to withdraw and throw his support behind the Democrat in order to ensure that Thompson didn't win.
