Torres wrote to the Sackners that the drawing for this print was a calligraphic comic made with black & red india ink, rapidograph pen, x-acto blade, enamel coated glossy paper, glue. It depicts meticulously precise letterforms with minimally rendered characters in freeform angles offset by geometrics.The text was inspired by rap music, H-Man is a superhero-Buddha fighting war with peace in sound bites as follows. Look...it's Horrendo Man. "Amma break yo face!" "Amma break yo case!" Just wait now, fellas! "Amma git'ma gun!" "Ammo keel ya!" Hey mates, don't gestulate... you gotta R.B. so just postulate! Amma king a calm, that's no brag-a-dag, bro! Chill, you mutual quads, you facin' Horrendo! -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
