The latest in hepcat handbooks, Royal Flush, peaks right here on the cover with this Drew Friedman cartoon of funnyman Patton Oswalt. Still, they give their due to Dave Kingman, a legendary Cub/Met/Giant/Yankee/Angel/Padre/Athletic who managed 442 HRs, 1816 Ks, and one rat mailed to a journalist. Congrats to Richie Sexson (or “Sexton” if you go by Royal Flush’s spelling), who wins the 2008 Kingman award by posting 21 HRs with a .205 AVG last year in Seattle before earning his Yankee pinstripes last week.
I think this blurb on what’s in the new “ish” sums up why this magazine matters:
Plus, Hispanic Batman, Wilford Brimley, Lou Ferrigno, Zakk Wylde, Dave Kingman, The MANOWARDS, System of a Down, Carmine Appice, Todd McFarlane, The Dillinger Escape Plan, The Dirtbombs, The Black Lips, Ryan Adams, In This Moment & Ozzy! The 25th Anniversary of Michael Jackson¹s Thriller. Movie night with Ville Valo of HIM. Scott Weiland™s Prison Pal and so much more!
Patton Oswalt is hilarious, great caricature, and what has Todd Mcfarlane been up to lately? His spiderman was by far the best ever.
I’m shocked that the magazine isn’t edgy enough to do a piece of baseball mustaches….because not everybody with a blog already has. Maybe I spoke too soon. I can just see the Giambi cover in about two months’ time.
Mindless Self Indulgence have released their best record yet!! I can’t wait to hear it!!
