ADDICTION
Welcome back, flapjack fiends!
This issue is going through withdrawal, so please ignore any shits, sweats or shakes that may occur during your perusal.
In our final publication of 2010, we’re on a tweak mission to bring down your tolerance for foolish powder prose and fine Peruvian poetry, plus give you wings on a line of applejack artwork. “Trust, Cigarettes and How to Travel With Someone You Hate” explores the intersection of addiction and relationship failure. “The Future of Literature” ponders where our cultural obsession with Twitter will lead. “No Comment” reveals one editor’s spiral into chemical dependence while “Smack Talk of the Town” offers a glimpse at the evolution of a more ethical cocaine industry.
So, strap that monkey on your back and train your headlights on some habit-forming Hobo Pancakes. Just be careful not to blow your fix, batterheads!
With addictive sincerity,
The Hobo Pancakes Team
