Hunter's Gonzo

Given the recent "Hunter/Huntz ... Theme" pattern-cluster I investigated notable persons having the name Hunter and arrive at: Hunter S. Thompson.  He stood out from the others because his surname means "twin son" in origin, and he's a journalist, especially meaningful given the title of yesterday's poster : 4 Journalists Die in 2 Days: Huntz.  Note  from his wiki page:
  • Hunter Stockton Thompson (July 18, 1937 – February 20, 2005) was an American journalist and author, and the founder of the gonzo journalism 
Note from the gonzo journalism wiki page:
Gonzo journalism is a style of journalism that is written without claims of objectivity, often including the reporter as part of the story via a first-person narrative
             The "Gonzo fist"
