For this week I read Tijuana Bible, which can easily be described as a pornographic comic. It is a compilation of several stories and styles, some are parodies of existing intellectual property. There was one in particular that imitated Mickey Mouse but the story itself was adult content. At the time that this comic came out it was not the type of content allowed to be sold. People were arrested over distributing the Tijuana Bible.
This comic seemed like the early version of "Rule 34" to me. Rule 34 is an internet meme that basically means that there is porn out there for any conceivable subject. Literally anything you can think of - somewhere out there on the internet there is sexually explicit content of it. This is why you must always Google Image search carefully.
I think that the fascination with pornography in comics is because of how people relate to comics. When reading a story people like to be able to relate to characters, and a big part of being human(and making sure our race doesn't die out) is sex. Although reading this comic made me very uncomfortable, comic books of this nature are not going away any time soon.
