Stuff mag employees say goodbye to editorial director Andy Clerkson in style.
After 15 years at Dennis Publishing, Clerkson is moving back to the UK, and at his send-off bash at the Chelsea Hotel, staffers created some mock-up covers of Maxim, Stuff and Blender with him on the cover.
The Stuff cover featured a florid-faced Clerkson bent over a pint glass, amid a profusion of cheeky cover lines, such as "Drunk and Sweaty! Andy Clerkson Can't Cool Down!" and "Justify Your Title! 427 Ways to Micromanage Anything!"
Even though this is the general editor send-off at all magazines, this cover particularly moves us. Not only because we love to see "micromanage" in bold, but because had this cover actually hit the stands, we bet 90 percent of Stuff's readers would be like "yo, I know that guy. I was totally at that same frat party."
