Yeah the future looks pretty fucking cool. Free birth control? Drugs and sex? Leather jackets?? Hell yeah
I want the shirt that promotes the concept of Drugs (and also pirates?)
Guy looks straight out of the old mad max movies
My first thought
Ok, but that "my ancestor" is shirt is actually sick and I'd wear it
I swear ive seen this exact same post with this exact same comment
Last time I saw this post it was on infinity for Reddit
They got the guns right, I guess. But hey, Jesus apparently likes those... isn't that what the so-called god-fearing christians are preaching these days?
Ah, but you see the "christians" only need the guns because they have guns, whoever the they is at this point in time
Somehow free birth control and sexual orientation counseling are supposed to be bad?
Yes, enjoying sex is bad. God gave you those nerve endings but doesn't want you to use them because logic.
Ironically, I can more easily see the kid in the second panel holding a rifle. He grew up to be this:
For whatever reason I can't stop seeing her as James Bond from an alternate universe where he's actually a crackhead woman where guys never want to sleep with her but she tries anyway. She takes her martini shaken and stirred on the crack rocks.
Also, horrendous trigger discipline and I don't even use guns lol
It's actually really good trigger discipline, if you're trying to kill someone. Which, let's be honest, she probably hoped she could.
This is Mad Magazine. In the 1990s.
It's from one of their longest running segments, "The Lighter Side of"
Everyone reacting here is hilarious
I’ve seen Chick Tracts that look basically indistinguishable from this.
If this is the case, I apologize profoundly for my earlier comment. I'm from Europe and have the impression that even the most absurd things are quite possible in the USA.
Honestly, Chick Tracts aren't terribly far off from this. They're insane fearmongering nonsense
Why /nottheonion is a thing
They completely are (the absurd things, that is. It sucks here, sometimes).
Mad/Cracked/Crazy/Sick/Trash are all similar publications that took extreme satirical takes like this throughout the 60s-90s, though they were all dead by the time the mid 2000s came around, with the exception of Mad, which would cease monthly publication not long after.
I can vaguely remember Mad Magazine. We had that too, but I'm not sure what content it actually covered. My much older cousins subscribed to it at the time, but I can only dimly remember spy-vs-spy comic strips.
How about the fold-ins! Those were great!
The page would have a Where's Waldo looking scene, and when you folded it in half, you saw the secret image which was usually the punchline to a joke.

Looks like a Chick Tract. These have always been ludicrous. In fact they had one about Dungeons and Dragons, which got a movie adaptation (by folks that were almost certainly taking the piss), which has a "review" by JonTron.
I have to watch this. Thanks for the link!

The conservatives were right, but it’s them holding the guns.
The signs should read “No Birth Control” and “CIS sexual orientation only” and it would have to be the Right Wingnuts holding the guns, that’s their thing making sure more guns get into schools somehow. The monkey shirt would be worn as mockery. The drugs shirt would have to be “We love meth and Oxy!” considering how much that stuff is favored among the poorer conservative areas.
And the Bible panel is just bullshit. The kid is ranting about LBGTQ kids and how they’re all going to hell because the Bible says so.
They won't even say "cis" since that's an implicit acknowledgement of "trans." The sign would surely say "conversion therapy."
I like your idea better. You’re right.
I have a LARGE collection of chick tracts. Which are full of nonsense like this. It would be hilarious, except people actually believe that shit.
The only bad thing in the comic are the weapons really which in my experience at least the fundamentalist seem to love.
Strangely the cop isn't armed. How's he going to shoot anyone's dog?
I can believe a book of this size could be dangerous. What an absolute unit of a Bible, that thing is half the height of that teenager.
They love to pretend they are persecuted. Usually to justify their own shit
If only
dude was rocking a neck tattoo and brow piercings. he was way ahead of the curve.
Who's banning books?
Im almost positive I saw this in a MAD magazine when I was a kid?
They were correct. In the future a nose ring is still likely to be confused with a booger.
