Thompson was a counter culture figure from the 60's and 70's.  He referred to himself as a Gonzo Journalist.  He came to fame after living with the Hell's Angels motorcycle gang for a year and writing a book about it which was published in 1967.  His thoughts about the failure of 60s counterculture are recorded in a book published in 1972 - Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.  Two movies were loosely based on the book but they were not big box office draws    \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThompson was also the inspiration for a recurring character in Gary Trudeau's Doonesbury Cartoon strip for many years - Uncle Duke,  who was loosely based on a writing persona sometimes used by Thompson - Raoul Duke.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThompson killed himself in 2005.  He felt that his age at the time - 67 was 17 years longer than he deserved to live, so he ended it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalligraphy and drawing by me in March  2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e11\" x 14\" numbered print on archival quality, acid free 110lb paper\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VanDuzerArt","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48181617328259,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0752\/0531\/2643\/files\/HunterThompson-1056x1344-96dpi.jpg?v=1789171645","url":"https:\/\/shop.vanduzerart.com\/products\/hunter-thompson-gonzo-journalist","provider":"VanDuzerArt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
