Criminal Justice
Welcome back, plea-bargaining Pancake plaintiffs!
This issue is an overcrowded cell block full of criminally amusing content. You’ll never find a more hilarious hive of scum and villainy anywhere on the internet.
Reach your own verdict with a jury of your peers on this gallery of probing prose and penal poetry. “The Case of the Conservative Retirement Home Resident” examines sex and the senior citizen, “Napoleon” serves up a character study of a community volleyball league, and “Taking It in the End Zone” is one fan’s bitter reaction to the San Francisco 49ers’ new season ticket policy. “No Comment” finds Managing Editor Kelly Anneken desperately trying to evade jury duty, and “Smack Talk of the Town” chronicles the night Editor-at-Large Isa Hopkins spent in jail.
Clear the courtroom, tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and find yourself guilty of loving Hobo Pancakes!
With criminally just sincerity,
The Hobo Pancakes Team
