"Hey R.D. Its funny, I was just thinking about "REAL DEAL" yesterday, glad to hear from you! Send it right now MUTHAFUCKER! I love what you're doing and I'm glad to know you're still around."

"Hey! I saw some of your work in the Beastie Boys "GRAND ROYAL MAGAZINE". I thought it was the coolest shit I have ever seen. It is hard to find something that makes you laugh while it makes an honest statement. Keep writing. I think your shit rules! Keep the peace."

"Yo Hitman!! My man you got to kick some ass on whoever is fucking you up on REAL DEAL #4! Bust their muthafuckin asses. I was wondering if I could get a picture of G.C kicking some ass and sign that cuz it would mean allot to me cuz R.D Bone my man your zine is the bomb shit! I love your fucking shit!!"

"Dear Real Dealers: Thank you so very much for sending me your "REAL DEAL #3". I enjoyed it immensely. And so did my students. I work as a volunteer for a literacy organization teaching prisoners how to read. For the past two weeks I've been using "MY DINNER WITH CHINO BILL" from REAL DEAL #3 to teach hardened, violent criminals the joys of literacy. It's a much more effective aid than the daily newspapers. The violence, profanity and absolute disregard for human life that is commonplace within the pages of REAL DEAL seems to draw my students in. Here at last is the written word that mirrors their own life-styles. I hope it pleases you to know that you are developing a following among the Wisconsin prison set."

REAL DEAL RESPONDS:"We at REAL DEAL have always thought that our magazine should be required reading at all public schools. Also, if your convicts like REAL DEAL, they can't be all bad!!"
