Gorko Serial Offender: Bruce Reisner

THE CRIME

Bruce writes: I made the cover of the Gorko Gazette’s Amelia Earhart issue because of destiny. Hers. Mine. She disappeared in her plane, with her co-flyer. I tried to make a name the humanities field and vanished into social oblivion. Amelia looked fly in her leather aviator suit. I look as I did on that cover pic I shot in the bathroom mirror, just me, mano a mono with mail order fashion items. Amelia and I served an online humor magazine, and thus, she and I are more nearly equals than otherwise. Thank you, Gorko Gazette, you’ve made me feel like a svelte, graceful male transvestite in flight gear.

Bruce’s other favorite Gorko: Emphatically recommended, Salvatore Difalco has done for the medium what is needed. The work is present, lively and fun, now. Satire is the most important element, currently. It is hard to explain to young whelps how and why media gets flushed down the vortex, but it is failure to adjust to modernity. Mr. Difalco adjusted beautifully. Thank you, and again, thank you Gorko Gazette.

THE CRIMINAL
