Hobo Pancakes
There are presently no open calls for submissions.
HOBO PANCAKES is published quarterly.
We accept prose, poetry, photography, illustration, comics and other graphics. Upcoming themes are as follows:
June 1 2015 -- "Fashion"
September 1 2015 -- "In the Air"
December 1 2015 -- "Judgment Day"
March 1 2016 -- "Age of Exploration"
June 1 2016 -- "Nature"
What we care about: that your submission is funny, coherently written, and submitted in .rtf document format. Please DO NOT submit .doc files. THEY WILL NOT BE READ.
What we don't care about: cover letters. Just give us a name and we're set.
Whatever zany new form you've invented, we're curious to see it. However, we do actively solicit a couple things in particular: photoessays; "Letters to the Editor" on any topic about which you feel like having a good rant; poetry that fits the description of "Iambic Ixplosion"; news briefs -- real or imagined -- for "Salute Our Shorts"; and "Annals of the Flesh: Like Tucker Max, but Less Date-Rapey." The latter category involves letters or reflections on moments of carnal lust you have known. Maybe that lust was for an attractive person. Maybe it was for a toaster. Tell us about it.
The form of what you send in isn't terribly important, but the tone is. We're a humor rag over here; black humor, sharp satire, broad parody, twisted absurdism -- those are all a-okay. A heartfelt meditation on the nature of mortality, however, isn't so much what we're looking for. That doesn't mean it's not great... it just means it's not for us.
