The Jackals began in Fresno, back when we were baby-faced teenagers. A group of ruthless, artistic renegades and degenerates who did not belong there — who knew that hot, flat, vapid land was not and would not EVER be enough for any of us. Over time, the group has expanded to include others of our ilk — those who don’t just blindly believe that something exists; we gotta taste it, touch it, film it, sculpt it, write it, act it, drink it, snort it, smoke it, or fuck it. But first, always…WE BELLY LAUGH AT IT.
In the past week, we have lost two of our beloved Jackal brethren: Bob MacDonald and Jimmy Rosenthal. UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE. I shan’t crack a bottle of Don Julio just so that I might pour the first pull onto their graves, like some sort of teary-eyed scooter snatch named Starla. I shall instead drop my white cotton granny panties and, like the Jackal that I am and always will be…SQUAT, AND PISS ON THEM — because that’s how we fucking do it. See you at The Jackalfest, my brothers. I love you. xoxo

About muffybolding
Muffy Bolding is a mother/writer/actor/knitter/feminist/withered debutante who likes the smell of asparagus pee, and remains obsessed with the bathroom hygiene of her three children -- despite the fact that they are 23, 19, and 16. She is blissfully married to a cute Jewish boy who looks like Willie Wonka, but remains tragically in love with the dead poet, Ted Hughes. She has the mouth of a Teamster, and her patron saint is Rocco (pestilence relief.) Ms. Bolding lives in Southern California, where she enjoys typing words, making movies, and plucking the rings from the fingers of the dead. She was the co-creator and Editor-in-Chief of the award winning satire zine, Fresno Lampoon, and in between writing screenplays, carnival barking, and savagely threatening her trio of darling larvae with a wooden spoon, she currently publishes the zine, "Withered Debutante." More of her work can also be found in the anthology, "Mamaphonic: Balancing Motherhood and Other Creative Acts", the compilation zine, "Mamaphiles III: Coming Home", as well as in The Cortland Review and hipmama.com. She is currently writing and producing for film and television, and working on a book of essays entitled, "Inside A Chinese Dragon." She has slept around, but not nearly as much as she would have liked.
