"It’s funny—Thompson was worried, with the film version of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, that he’d be made into a cartoon, that his vision would be dulled by cartoons. … Here, rendered as a comic, he’s less of a cartoon than he was in his own prose before his death, at his own hand."

“What we really need is a riot. This would not only justify the purchase of gas, firebombs, electric zappers and various armored equipment – it would also give Aspen the modern, up-to-date image that it vitally needs. We are fortunate in having people like the sheriff and Guido and Bugsy around, if only to keep a rein on dangerous waterheads like Tom Benton.”
