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. But before such an incarnation, the comic started out in 2002 as a collection of simple MS Paint webcomics using stick figures, and not officially called Crude Dude Comix yet. 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]. The most notable comic of the Crude Dude Comix series is a verbal battle between a liberal and conservative ninja arguing over abortion and the death sentence[citation needed].
Angeles cites Evan Dorkin, George Ouzounian, R. Crumb, and Trey Parker as his main influences.
