    Ghoulies and ghosties and long-legged beasties,
    Giant amoebae, bacilli, and yeasties,
    Rattlesnake venom and scorpion stings...
    These are a few of my favorite things!
    Cobra handling and cocaine use are a bad mix.

    Damnit! Why didn't my daughter know those lyrics when she played Maria in community theater.

    I was kidding, except that I do like it.

    I remember those pamphlets; sometimes we'd get those from our Wednesday night bible study (in TN the Baptists and Penticostals had church three or four times a week). One pamphlet I kept for the longest time was actually an anthology of parodies of the erosion of America's christian values and was certainly meant to be scathing indictments but had some bust-a-gut funny stuff in it about church goers and churches in general. It read like a Mad Magazine piece, only at the end of course included the caveat if you thought any of it amusing there was a place being saved for you in hell.

    I'm a Cthulhu extremist. The rest of you are all infidels who don't follow Cthulhu strictly enough.

    That is no guarantee you will be eaten first.

    A true Cthulhu extremist wouldn't have the sanity to string words together in a coherent sentence.

    By the way, the Ancient Ones don't eat people. Most of them don't even notice that we exist, any more than we notice an ant we trod upon on the sidewalk. The fact that we neither add nor subtract from their existence in any way is part of their true horror. Worshiping them is simply a deranged psychic coping mechanism, trying to graft one's ego onto an purely implacable and disinterested power in the light of which we count for naught.

    (Though, really, those Chick Tracts deserve all the satire they get, and the parody did follow the Chick formula to a T.)

    I actually liked those, strangely enough. Not because of any religious thing, but because I like black and white art, even as a kid.

    They're a real odd piece of culture. Their stark visual design is compelling. The writing, however, is camp at its best, but blatantly offensive at its worst.

    Love the Tin Tin covers! They have Peanuts, but instead of Charlie Brown, it's Charles Dexter...
