That was a Jack Chick publication. There are dozens of them
(hundreds, as a matter of fact) espousing Jack Chick's somewhat
demented view of the universer and Christianity in particular.

My husband has been a Chick collector for years, and recently
bought a book entitled: The World of Chick published by Last Gasp
press.

He is a fascinating piece of Americana, worthy to be up there with
Amy Semple McPhereson, Billy Sunday and whoever it was who
invented snake handling.

Chaos, panic, disorder. My work here is done!
