This could be your life – or maybe not

The following cartoons were originally published in the 1970s as a satire of religious fundamentalist comic books which could be found in bathroom stalls, restaurant counters and phone booths. I originally planned on including these in my new book:
Memoirs Of A Drugged-up, Sex-crazed Yippie ---
Tales from the 70's Counterculture: Drugs, Sex, Politics and Rock and Roll
, but I ended up leaving them out.
These same fundamentalist comics are still being printed and distributed today. An outfit called The Only Hope, Inc. prints such comic books as Heaven? The Bottom Line, by Timothy L. Duvall and Chick Publications puts out similar tracks that have been distributed here in the Wichita and Kansas area. Since these comics are still being distributed today the cartoons, crudely drawn as they may be, are still relevant. Clicking on them will give a larger look at them.
