We begin quite simply with a typewriter and a bottle of whiskey - the tools of a truly great journalist - because at our last Dr. Sketchy's session, we had none other than the greatest journalist of all time. Who is this wondrous chronicler of the American experience? Tom Brokaw? Edward R. Murrow? Bob Woodward? Hacks one and all! No, I mean the rare genius that is Hunter S. Thompson.

Hi there, Art Monkeys! Who remembers the ultra-violent, sexually exploitative films of the 70's? Nobody? Well, who remembers the ultra-violent, sexually exploitative films of Quentin Tarantino? Then you're in for a treat, because here at Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, we had the luscious Bambi Killers pay their tribute to the grindhouse.
