Are people not familiar with Chick Tracts? These comics are the product of the prodigous paranoid right wing evangelical conspiracy theorist Jack Chick (1924-2016).
I think these comics are best understood as the work of an outsider artist, like Henry Darger or a painting elephant. His work allows you to glimpse a mind outside the normal human experience.
His work focuses on who is going to hell - everyone who’s not a right wing american protestant, and many who are. It shows a strong pornographic influence - many end in a blissful face dowsed in a baptismal money-shot.
It’s meant to be used as a legitimate tool to evangelize. The worst christian lunatics leave these things in public, earnestly believing that after reading you’ll realize the divinely ordained truth that freemasons will all burn in hell along with blood-drinking rothschilds and D&D players.
Ohhh, Chick Tracts. Fun times, I recognized the style right away too!
I’ve seen them in person twice. Once a neighbor gave us one in a plastic bag with other Jesus-y stuff. And the second time I found an entire stack of them at the gyno’s office
I stole all of them. Amazing. Horrible things, I love how batshit they are lmao
I always took them all whenever I found them - horrible things, I love them covers it perfectly.
But also, I wouldn’t just leave a kitchen knife lying in public. Most people can be trusted to safely avoid the danger. But what if a child, or someone intent on harm found it?
The responsible thing to do is to remove the threat from the environment.

My mother brought a couple of Chick tracts home from church for me… I don’t think she actually read them first.
My favourite was the one where a man murdered his wife while drunk and then his daughter threatened to cut him with a broken bottle.
The d&d game summoning the devil was always my favorite. Always love a d&d episode.
Also any one where the pope is shown in league with someone unlikely - communists, jews, muslims, etc.
