An animated tribute to Hunter S. Thompson is dark, trippy and a little bit disturbing — and that’s exactly how he would have preferred it, according to the folks at GoodBooks. The online bookseller commissioned animators at Buck TV to create this tribute to “the high priest of Gonzo,” with a little bit of Kafka’s Metamorphosis thrown in for good measure.

GoodBooks donates all profits to Oxfam, which works to provide water, sanitation and education to impoverished communities around the world.
