My daddy drives a ufo
As you all know, X-Day was July 5th. What you may have missed is that this time, it ACTUALLY HAPPENED. Yes, the Xists ascended from the clouds, all dues-paying SubGenii were ruptured up into the Pleasure Saucers of the Sex Goddesses, the Conspiracy fell, and all of the Pinks, Glorps, Po'buckers, and bobbies are now experiencing an undying hell on earth! Praise "Bob's" sweet name, and Fuck his wife, Connie, I am writing this from my cabin in my very own Pleasure Saucer, hurtling at a trillion miles an hour toward my own pocket universe, which I will create in my own image.
Well, maybe not, but here's a great report with photos and stuff of the official Church 8X-Day Drill:

I've got to make it out to Brushwood one of these days.
In other SubG news, preacher Pappa Joe Mamma went undercover into the tract empire of Jack T. Chick, and has produced a definitive guide, with reviews of ALL the tracts, art comparisons, history, rumours, interviews, you name it:

Must...have...book. Honestly, this belongs on the shelf of every discerning weirdo, mocker, and true art lover, right next to that old issue of The Imp covering the same subject in less detail. COMPLETISTS RULE!
or kill me.

May you be washed in the Jism of Bob!
May I have a name?
You are Thomas Harold Elron Cat--T.H.E. Cat for short.
Go forth and partake of the steamin' pee of the First Yeti "Bob"!
Another excellent treatise on that bigot Jack T. Chick is Dan Raeburn's The Imp #2. I'm having a hard time finding a link, but it is an excellent history of the man and the themes in his tracts.
Thanks, Arlo--I couldn't remembe the volume # of the Imp--its the work that I mention at the end of the post as being the same subject, but less in-depth. I believe its published by Fantagraphics. I'll see if I can find a link, too.
On the subject of The Imp--the last issue I read was the one about the Mexican comics industry; fascinating stuff. Chock full of bad sex, sexy violence, drugs, guilt, and some of the most amazing, energetic art I've seen in all my years of comics reading.
Well, the Mexican Comics issue--Imp #4--is available from Feral House:

Apparently, Mr. Raeburn self-publishes The Imp, so #2 might be a bit hard to find. Good thing I got my copy back from Johnson after Godbaby.
Ah. That's what I get for skimming.
