  Crude Dude Comix - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Crude Dude Comix first appeared in 2003 and is a self-published underground comic created by a San Francisco State University student, Jose Gabriel Angeles when he was 18 [1].
The comic is known for its over-the-top violence with a trademark "gore pile" made of severed heads and intestines, social satire, anti-religion, and philosophical messages influenced from Zen to Nietzsche texts.
Although the comic is in the tradition of cult underground comics from the 1970s, which were predominantly leftist oriented, Crude Dude Comix attacks both right=wing and left=wing ideologies, depicting stereotypical vegan hippie characters and conservative Christians being dismembered in some stories [2].

To put it crudely, what counts is not what is true or right (in some sense independent of the community of language users), but what you can get away with or get others to accept.
