The Jugheads

Praise

“J. R. Helton really speaks to me–starkly honest, darkly funny, acutely observant, and captures the tragic absurdity of human life. … [H]e’s right up there with the best of them.” —Robert Crumb, cartoonist and musician
 
“This guy Helton could be the next Bukowski.” —Terry Zwigoff, director of Crumb and Ghost World
 
“If Mark Twain had snorted coke, chomped on painkillers like they were Tic Tacs and huffed enough nitrous to keep a fleet of dental surgery patients grinning, Drugs is the book he’d have written.” —Tony O’Neill, author of Digging the Vein and Sick City
