Cynical News 2005:Journalist, Gonzo Kills Self |
 Denver,
Colorado - Gonzo the Great (pictured left) the popular Muppet,
has been found dead at his home in Colorado.
Gonzo's son, Clucky, found his lifeless body.Thursday. He said, "felt
was everywhere, and a gun was nearby... I guess he shot
himself...but then again he was never really alive - he's
just a puppet"
He is best-known for his work with Jim Henson, frolicking
with the other muppets, and his account of mind-warped drug-fueled
chicken addiction, in his 1972 opus Feathers and Lusting
in Las Vegas.
Gonzo pioneered "Thompson journalism", a factual style in which the writer was repeatedly fired out of a cannon and performed other death defying stunts. He is survived by Kermit, Miss Piggy and assorted other 'muppets'. (from correspondent Pope Phil Monty)
