Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's friend; Ralph Steadman has a blog

I got this link from a C-Span II segment featuring a talk and slide show with Steadman:

Ralph Steadman dot Com

Ralph Steadman was Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's friend as well as the the artist who illustrated most of his books. Steadman's latest book: The Joke's Over is a history of his friendship and collaboration with Thompson over the years:

"My new book, The JOKE's OVER emerged as a form of therapy after the shock of sudden death following the suicide of my friend of 35 years, Hunter S. Thompson. He always said that he would do it but that does not prepare you for the reality of the brutal act. As I once printed on a brown paper bag in hand set type, damn near 35 years ago, 'I have always known that one day he would take that road, but yesterday I did not know that it would be today'."

1. The Joke's Over was a really good book. It was enjoyable to see some of the

things from the view of the good Doctor's friends.
