Editor Michael Reisig The Polk County Pulse Mena, Arkansas Bob Simpson's sense of edgy, quirky, perspective has come to rest in the innocuous little country berg of Hogspore. He incorporates a fabulous rural amalgam of the bizarre, the addled, and the blissfully ignorant, painting every third sentence with his unique ability to torture and manipulate the English language to fit his needs -- very clever. Hogspore has added a refreshingly witty dimension to our newspaper and we're pleased to have Bob as a weekly regular.” |

National Society of Newspaper Columnists 1st Place - Robert Simpson The Polk County Pulse for his bizarre and unsettling dispatches from a mythical town called “Hogspore.” Hogspore is exactly like Lake Wobegon if Lake Wobegon were much further south and featured a menagerie of tragicomic blue-collar characters like Morton Trubletoof, who is “so stupid he could cross-thread a nail” and has yet to divine why his mail order sand spur business fails to prosper.
