3-2-1-COCKY!

April 18, 2010
As promised, we published the first installment (or “fit”) of James Parker’s The Ballad of Cocky the Fox on April 15. It’s every bit as terrific as we said it would be, right?
Nineteen other Cocky installments will follow, at the rate of one every other Thursday. (Fit the Second will be published, according to this schedule, on Thursday, April 29.) On off-Thursdays, a PDF newsletter will be e-mailed to the 65 beautiful friends, fans, and family members who donated at least $10 to support this serialization.
A cocktillion thanks go out, from the editors of HILOBROW and James Parker, to:
