The Joke's Over is a book written and illustrated by Ralph Steadman chronicling the odd and very often dangerous times when he met and worked with his friend Hunter S. Thompson. There are some illustrations by Steadman created at the time of the events as well as photos taken by Steadman and Thompson.
The book tells stories of what happened when Hunter and Steadman were working on stories together, from their first time together at the Kentucky Derby to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
