Tijuana Bibles

-



8 pages of low class porn drawn with all the skill of a talented 8 year old future child rapist.  One of the two known artists was Wesley Morse, of Bazooka Joe fame.



Way to fucking go, Wes.




These were not printed in Tijuana.




These did not have a single publisher.  They started appearing on the American landscape in the twenties, and sold for a quarter to fifty cents in barber shops, bars, pool halls, any male hangout.  This is Moon Mullins.



 Gladstone Gander and Donald Duck.  This was probably the first time many guys found out they were not alone.  If you do not find this unspeakably repulsive then you are a tough audience.


Plastic Man.




Nancy and Sluggo.  This masterpiece of Western Civilization has it all.




I saw this one when I was 15.

1939, unless I miss my guess.




Something for everyone.  Post war saw the 'emergence' of far higher grade porn, hot models, color photos, the works.  For the longest time it was illegal.  Ha ha!  The only thing you get jailed for in the U. S. is porn involving children, other than that the sky's the limit.




Watchmen.




I think this is for real.  Creative cropping!




Whoever came up with this should be writing for Saturday Night Live, lord knows they need the
talent.




Jack Chick.  These are some of the most hateful and ignorant fear mongering obscenities ever distributed.  Time was you could not go into a laundromat or phone booth without finding these.  The Tijuana Bible format is perfect for these.  The art is sometimes better.



The Church of the Subgenius reacts to Jack Chick's death.
Let there be Slack.




 I found one of these with Jimmy Cagney and I would kill the guy who drew that.  Cary Grant is fair game.

The Back Cover   https://youtu.be/OKGCaiZDV28 Andrew the Bee is one of the extremely talented artists and writers I know from DeviantArt.  Andy is as good as any artist there is and it is an delight to be able to put up his work on my site.  We did this before but because the post depended on my knowledge of computer files it may have fallen a tad flat.  Here is the earlier version of this essay about a comics genre that I knew nothing about before reading all this. https://misterscribbles.blogspot.com/2020/01/jungle-comics-safari.html https://www.deviantart.com/andibi

Two Bad Men, Said Their Murderers

John Choate, 25 August 1818 - 3 August 1869 Crokett Choate, 1842 -3 August 1869 This tells of a grave by the dashing wave A fond friends lip that did quiver Of an eye that's hid by a leaden lid And a voice now stilled forever. John on the left.  They were originally buried where they were killed but October of that year the Refugio Masons moved the bodies to Rockport.  This was all part of the Sutton-Taylor feud, the Suttons were backed by the U. S. Government and of no particular righteousness, they were badge wearing murderers and bullies.  The two story house with the porch running around the second floor in the left background belongs to my sister.  A lovely house and the best behaved neighbors possible! Photos by Steve Davis. The man who killed them.  Sheriff.  Regulator. Murderer. https://books.google.com/books?id=PUvanZiwzdUC&pg=PA64&lpg=PA64&dq=john+and+crockett+choate+death+jack+hel...

The Madonna Of Stalingrad

Image
This superior drawing is known as the "Madonna of Stalingrad".  It was drawn by Lt. Kurt Reuber, a doctor and a protestant pastor.  It measures 3' by 4', and is charcoal on the back of a Soviet map.  It reads, running down the left side, Christmas at the siege, Fortress Stalingrad, Light, Love, Life.  It was flown out by his battalion commander (why was an officer leaving, his place was with his men) on what Wikipedia says is the last flight out but I dispute that.  Could be, though.  Reuber died in a work camp.  He drew another before his death.  The original is on display at the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church in Berlin. The Prisoner's Madonna.  Reuber. The Germans starved their POW's to death, by policy.  The Russians then starved their German prisoners to death, by policy.  Of the 91,000 6th Army prisoners, 6000 would return home a decade later. 'The Eastern Front was the armies of two mass murderer...
