Literary World Stunned by Major Voice Agency Appointment

HOUSTON, TEXAS — The literary world was rocked today by the announcement that reclusive writer, whiskey authority, and occasional moonshiner Guy William Boosh—known to friends, associates, and certain law enforcement officials simply as Boosh—has joined the rapidly expanding literary empire of Voice Agency Comics.
The announcement comes amid a period of extraordinary growth for the Houston-based publishing concern, whose offices in Fort Davis and Port Aransas have already established a formidable presence in the fiercely competitive world of illustrated literature.
Boosh, whose colorful career has included whiskey criticism, investigative journalism, and several undertakings of uncertain commercial purpose, will direct the company’s Austin operations.
Voice Agency officials expressed unrestrained enthusiasm over the appointment.
“Boosh brings something to this organization that we simply didn’t have before,” said one highly placed executive, speaking on condition that his name not be used. “We’re still trying to determine exactly what that is.”
The appointment further strengthens what industry observers are calling one of the broadest philosophical lineups ever assembled by a publisher of illustrated literature.
From religious inquiry and historical reconstruction to Jungian psychology, talking animals, and the increasingly important field of whiskey-related literature, Voice Agency Comics appears determined to leave no significant avenue of human inquiry unexplored.
Boosh himself was unavailable for comment. Sources close to the writer indicated that he was conducting research at an undisclosed location somewhere west of Austin.
The company’s founder, Gordon Atkinson, declined to speculate on the financial implications of the appointment, saying only that the organization remains committed to its ambitious expansion plans.
Meanwhile, across the publishing world, the implications of this latest development are only beginning to be understood.
