Monk: The Mobile Magazine is a travel magazine published by Jim Crotty and Michael Lane. The magazine began publication in 1986 when Crotty and Lane left San Francisco to travel across the United States by RV. They published a glossy magazine to document their travels, a publication that became a cult hit. In their travels "The Monks" interviewed numerous off-beat and counterculture figures such as Annie Sprinkle, Quentin Crisp, Kurt Cobain, Dan Savage and Gus Van Sant and offered tips on what unusual sights one should see when travelling. In 1993, they published a book, Mad Monks on the Road/a 47,000-Hour Dashboard Adventure-From Paradise, California, to Royal, Arkansas, and Up the New Jersey Turnpike (Simon and Schuster) reprinting a number of their interviews and adventures. In 1995 Lane authored "Pink Highways" (Carol Publishing) and in 1997 Crotty authored "How to Talk American" (Houghton Mifflin). Monk Magazine last published in 1997. The magazine has been replaced by a website, monk.com and a series of Monk travel guides that include "Mad Monks' Guide to New York City" (Macmillan) and "Mad Monks' Guide to California" (Macmillan).
