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.

Father's Last Escape

It happened in the late and forlorn period of complete disruption, at the time of the liquidation of our business. The signboard had been removed from over our shop, the shutters were halfway down, and inside the shop my mother was conducting and unauthorized trade in remnants. Adela had gone to America, and it was said that the boat on which she had sailed had sunk and that all the passengers had lost their lives. We were unable to verify this rumour, but all trace of the girl was lost and we never heard of her again.  A new age began - empty, sober and joyless, like a sheet of white paper. A new servant girl, Genya, anaemic, pale, and boneless, mooned about the rooms. When one patted her on the back, she wriggled, stretched like a snake, or purred like a cat. She had a dull white complexion, and even the insides of her eyelids were white. She was so absent-minded that she sometimes made a white sauce from old letters and invoices: it was sickly and inedible.  At that t

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+helm+gunfight&source=bl&

Roller Ball Murder

The game, the game: here we go again. All glory to it, all things I am and own because of Roller Ball Murder. Our team stands in a row, twenty of us in salute as the corporation hymn is played by the band. We view the hardwood oval track which offers us the bumps and rewards of mayhem: fifty yards long, thirty yards across the ends, high banked, and at the top of the walls the cannons which fire those frenzied twenty-pound balls-similar to bowling balls, made of ebonite-at velocities over three hundred miles an hour. The balls careen around the track, eventually slowing and falling with diminishing centrifugal force, and as they go to ground or strike a player another volley fires. Here we are, our team: ten roller skaters, five motorbike riders, five runners (or clubbers). As the hymn plays, we stand erect and tough; eighty thousand sit watching in the stands and another two billion viewers around the world inspect the set of our jaws on .multivision. The runners, those bastards
