Hate Mail

By MR Bingo

From the hilarious British illustrator Mr Bingo comes a collection of his most outrageous vintage postcards designed with iconic drawings and comically offensive messages.

In April 2011, Mr Bingo launched a service on his website in which, for a small payment, he would send a customer a vintage postcard with one of his iconic drawings and comically offensive messages on the back. In an effort to create a good laugh in a world filled with junk mail and bills, Mr Bingo's service became a massive hit. So popular, in fact, that he had to shut down the service after just six days, due to the huge amount of requests.

Hate Mail is a collection of Mr Bingo's 100 favorite postcards. Filled with fascinating vintage images from across the world and detailed hand-drawn illustrations, this darkly hilarious book will leave you charmed, offended, and giggling in equal measures.

Introduction

I love post.

With the majority of modern post consisting mainly of bills and junk mail, I’m worried that people don’t get enough fun post these days.

So I set up Hate Mail.

It’s a simple concept. I invited strangers to pay me £10 and in return I’d send them an offensive postcard with an original drawing on. It was a late-night drunk idea (naturally) but it really took off.

So much so that I had to close the service after six days because it proved too popular.

This book is a collection of 100 of my favourite Hate Mails.

Please enjoy – oh, and go fuck yourself.
