"There are times, however, and this is one of them, when even being right feels wrong. What do you say, for instance, about a generation that has been taught that rain is poison and sex is death? If making love might be fatal and if a cool spring breeze on any summer afternoon can turn a crystal blue lake into a puddle of black poison right in front of your eyes, there is not much left except TV and relentless masturbation. It's a strange world. Some people get rich and others eat rattata and die."
The car suddenly veered off the road and we came to a sliding halt in the gravel. I was hurled against the dashboard. My attorney was slumped over the wheel. Whats wrong? I yelled. We cant stop here. This is bat country!"

ARGH! HUNTER!!!!!!!!!!!! Am wanting! If football season would've lasted longer maybe he wouldn't have shot himself. :( Am going to have to think this one over cause I really like.
I adored him for years, and this shirt rocks. And I don't say that often. Must buy. MUST. Gonzo, indeed. In the last Rolling Stone interview with Thompson and his friends, Johnny Depp relates how, after he had visited the good Doctor a few times, realized that the wooden slat keg that was serving as his bedside table in the guest room was full of gunpowder. Depp is a heavy smoker. When he told Thompson, all he said was something like, "I wondered where that thing had gone." In another incident, Thompson visited a friend and was up late talking, and they were joined by the friend's teenage son. After a while, the kid brought out his pet tarantula and they all started letting it walk all over their hands and arms. Of course they were all high, and the good Doctor suggested they put on some bright pink lipstick, just for the hell of it. At about the same time they all had their lipstick in place and the tarantula was walking on them, the friend's wife walked in.

...then why bother coming back every day?
Well, my good lady. I just happened to notice this shirt on my facebook. Tis was most awesome design. So, on this night, I came back with hopes. A high hopes, indeed, that the most awesome design will lay on the most excellent blank once again.
Oh, how my high hopes was dashed! Reading the same sentence over and over. "No Change." The words itself haunts my very dreams.
"No... Change"
My high hopes has been dashed. I shall not have this shirt. Nevermore shall I get my hopes high over the most awesome design.

Stop worrying about what other people will think and start dressing for yourself. You only live once!
Bought the Skeletor tee from the other day as my first purchase from Teefury...love the quality of the shirt/print! This just became my second purchase. Can't wait to add it to my collection.
@theinfinity... Im honored to have The Doctor typing on my pelvic bone!! I want it tomorrow!! Oh charmeleon.. Its 1am i gotta wake up in 5 hours. Night people
Charmeleon?? Lmao thats the greatest rendering of the word i did type that i've ever seen. Teefury... What does it take to be on your editing team? Great stuff love you guys and gals.... Teefuryinites are crazy mo-fo's!!
Wow swordsaint. Where are the models?? I guess the chubby comment from the other day made the male run away maybe? Dont know bout the female though. Models are costly though :-). Enough said

Oh dang it you do not know how perfect this shirt is, man, I specifically said "ok check the fury but you AINT BUYIN' A THING TONIGHT"
I lie to myself. A lot. Hunter to me represents the man who controls the chaos in a chaotic universe. Somehow these billion year old molecules came together to create a being that was so ass backwards yet so smuuuuuurf intelligent that I think he went nuts just like most intelligent people do. When you see nothing but the chaotic universe in all its glory, compress all those billions of years into just a thought, you let loose... You live... You really live, and that is Hunter to me. This shirt is great. Thank you.

LOL! So true. Being original is a very hard thing to do nowadays. It's why we have so many movie sequels, etc. I should've been a caveman and patented the wheel. Then I could've sued everyone. :D
Leaps and bounds more groovy than the Bob Marley one. Props. Not just for the subject but everything about it. The placement, colors, illustration itself.
Ah. Hunter S. Thompson the guy the government had killed for investigating the truth behind 9/11... oh wait I mean he killed himself... is that the story we are going with? Ya, I think that's it, despite all the phone calls he made to people right before his suicide to talk about how people were going to kill him and make it look like a suicide...
Anyway, he created Gonzo Journalism, but who created Gonzo Pornography? Now THAT'S a good question!
Love the shirt. Checked out the portfolio... the work reminds me of a less interesting Sebastian Kruger. Don't make me love this shirt any less though. R.I.P. Hunter S. Thompson.
"And that, I think, was the handle - that sense of inevitable victory over the forces of old and evil. Not in any mean or military sense; we didn't need that. Our energy would simply prevail. We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave. So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Las Vegas and look west, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark - that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back. "
Oh, and this was my first Tee Fury purchase. I pretty much exclusively Woot it... but I have been checking this site for a few weeks hoping that something would catch my fancy and this shirt sure did. Hopefully I will be buying more in the future.
More shirts like this, fewer with animals. This kicks ass. Best shirt I've seen since I discovered you guys a few months ago (and heck I've already bought two other shirts)

*Gasp* An unreservedly positive comment! What has happened to you?
...it's not undeserved? And I don't give negative comments every day, just when the design is something I find artistic problems with or just isn't my style.
That just happens to be most of the time. This is a very well-drawn image by a talented artist. The placement's kind of odd because I'm somewhat of a fatty and would make it look funny, but it's still aesthetically nice. :I
I love, love, LOVE Randy's work. I'm waiting to see a Tee with a subject I know an dlove to buy one, but I enjoy looking at his stuff nonetheless.
Keep it up!
Definitely a great shirt, real high quality art, and unlike others I love it on white and the placment of the design. Been browsing this site for months, and no offense, this is miles above the overall charmeleon that is put up daily. Nice job Randy;)
If the actual shirt was the color of his shirt, and his shirt was a redish color, id have already bought one for me and my friend. but i might have to think about it alittle due to the white.. still great artwork! I love it.
Why not offer the shirts in different shirt styles...Every shirt that I buy from here shrinks way too much....I'd buy alot of shirts (this one included) if I could wear them more than 1 time.
Question for the regulars here, as I am a newb, what kinda of shirts are these printed on? Im not really into a beefy-T type of cotton, prefer a more smooth ring-spun, thinner type cotton. Thanks;)
Wow, I'm usually not for the shirts with illustrations of famous people but I really like this one :O. The book was awesome. But... not having the alstyle blanks anymore makes me not want to buy.

I don't believe he did himself in either. The man was an expert at using firearms and self-medication. Plus, at the time, he had a lot in the works, despite the hip surgery.
I read some of Thompson's articles on 9/11 and the Dubya Administration in the foreign press; and, believe me, he had A LOT to say. Plus, he knew Bush The Dumber back when he was just a coke-snorting, alcohol-chugging dimwit passing out in other people's bathtubs.
Honestly, Teefury. I'm starting college this week. I'm already hemorrhaging money for books, food, and tuition. Why do you have to put up a shirt I have no choice but to buy?
For all those complaining about white, have thou not heardest of Tie-Dying?
Tis' a most WONDEROUS process, and ever so appropriate for a design of this type and subject matter.
For in Bat Country, all colors all welcome.
I bought two, just in case I pika up the tie-dye :P
I HAVE to get this shirt being from Vegas and whatnot. smuuuuuurf you teefury!!! I just bought yoda the grouch. I'm gonna end up broke by the end of the month
Is that an Andy Warhol drawing on your site? Because that would make a plain awesome shirt.... Talk about pop culture playing on a pop culture icon Mr. Warhol would be proud....
If that Louis Armstrong one you have in your portfolio was the same style as the John Lee Hooker one, i would sell a limb to be able to get that in any way possible, but it still looks really good. Nice portfolio!
Love Randy's work (wore Marley today) and tempted to order, but I really need to lay off buying shirts. I guess I have 30 minutes to decide. I like the placement though, I wasn't as happy with the placement on the Marley shirt.
I love it on of my fav movies and the man is a amazing writer. This shirt is now a must have in my Tee Fury Collect thank you so much and props on the art work its perfect!
I so rarely buy dailies here but this one is really awesome. It is a shame it has to be on a gildan blank.....The shirts are so cheap and thin I can already see cracks developing in the spaces between threads of my teevil collab and I've worn it one day. What an absolute waste to put something like this on a shirt that won't hold the design longer than a few months. Here's hoping they have a lot of AIstyle white blanks in stock.
Hello Teefurians! Randy's been printed several times, so if you want to know more about Randy McQuien Jr, please check our favorite Randy designs from the past with interviews. , or check out his portfolio.
About this shirt: We won't be coy. It's Hunter S. Thompson for all you writers and journalists, fans of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas and Gonzo style journalism. I get the feeling that many of you Teefury commentators might empathize with this man, and his straight forward, outpsoken manner of spitting truths and observations like many of you do.
Regardless of if you are familiar with the man or not, I think you'll find it entertaining, interesting at least to read some of his quotes:
A word to the wise is infuriating.
Politics is the art of controlling your environment.
Call on God, but row away from the rocks.
The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
The person who doesn't scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs.
