The Gonzo Daily - Friday
Regular readers will remember that yesterday
Prudence the dog who looks like a pygmy hippo superficially injured herself, and
spread trails of gore across the house. Yesterday continued to be very peculiar,
especially for Prudence. Being a well brought up young lady all she wanted to do
was to have a thorough wash and clean herself, but despite being covered in
blood, we were afraid that if she did she would re-open the wound and start it
bleeding again. So she had to have a massive plastic cone on her collar, which
made her look like a fat Elizabethan lady wearing a ruff. She disapproved of
this mightily, and not being the most agile of creatures at the best of times,
blundered about the house knocking everything over. In the midst of all of this
we had a visit (a very welcome visit, may I stress) from the delightfully nutty
Kara Wadham, and the whole day became very surreal. What topped it off was that
because of the collar on her neck Pru would not have been able to get onto the
bed so in order not to cause her more distress than ever we both slept
downstairs in the sitting room with her. It was a surprisingly comfortable night
until I was woken by a small black cat trying to push her rectum into my right
eye. In the midst of all of this madness, I finished the new Frederick Forsyth
novel, which I think is his best since Icon in 1995. And finally, lots of love
to Lily Wadham who went back into hospital this morning with tonsillitis related
tomfoolery....

German Mick Farren/Andy Colquhoun review

* The Gonzo Daily is a two-way process. If you have any news or want to write for us, please contact me at jon@eclipse.co.uk. If you are an artist and want to showcase your work or even just say hello, please write to me at gonzo@cfz.org.uk. Please copy, paste and spread the word about this magazine as widely as possible. We need people to read us in order to grow, and as soon as it is viable we shall be invading more traditional magaziney areas. Join in the fun, spread the word, and maybe if we all chant loud enough we CAN stop it raining. See you tomorrow....
* The Gonzo Daily is - as the name implies - a daily online magazine (mostly) about artists connected to the Gonzo Multimedia group of companies. But it also has other stuff as and when the editor feels like it. The same team also do a weekly newsletter called - imaginatively - The Gonzo Weekly. Find out about it at this link: www.gonzo-multimedia.blogspot.com/2012/11/all-gonzo-news-wots-fit-to-print.html
* We should probably mention here that some of our posts are links to things we have found on the internet that we think are of interest. We are not responsible for spelling or factual errors in other people's websites. Honest guv!
* Jon Downes, the editor of all these ventures (and several others), is an old hippy of 54 who - together with his orange cat (who is currently on sick leave in Staffordshire) and two very small kittens (one of whom is also orange) - puts it all together from a converted potato shed in a tumbledown cottage deep in rural Devon, which he shares with various fish, and sometimes a small Indian frog. He is ably assisted by his lovely wife Corinna, his bulldog/boxer Prudence, his elderly mother-in-law, and a motley collection of social malcontents. Plus... did we mention the orange cat?
