One in a series of posts featuring pages from Hermenaut, a DIY intellectual zine/journal published by HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn from 1992 through 2000-01.
“Why does every pasty-faced teenager and twentysomething who walks past my window think Kurtis Blow is married to his mother?” demanded “Their America” columnist Mr. Slotcar Hatebath — a persona sending up and paying affectionate tribute to conservative Weekly World News opinion columnist (“My America”) Ed Anger.
