ROTFL!!!! [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img] [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

The man is either A) seriously disturbed, B) on drugs, or C) one of the great comic geniuses of our time. His dark depictions of what happens to *bad little boys and girls* when they don't tow the line of fundamentalist charismatic religious practice has probably done more to influence Goth culture and fashion than any other one factor! Images of "good Christians" being tortured by mind-control experts during the End Times, capering and cavorting demons, suicide-bent teens, etc...it may not be all believable, but it is entertaining!

I've been aware of the man and his work since the early 70's, when I first read "This Was Your Life", which I think is his most famous tract. Now I see that most of the tracts are online. Interesting!

Cheers,
