Hunter S. Thompson was a journalist known for creating Gonzo journalism and as the author of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. A poster of Thompson decorates the wall of the Express Yourself cafe, where Randy Marsh lets out some poetic stress in the Season Eleven episode "With Apologies to Jesse Jackson". Thompson lived in Woody Creek Colorado at his fortified compound Owl Farm, until the time of his death, when he took his own life.
