Weird Religious Tract Number 5: "The Crazy Crusader: Don Quixote, Man of La Mancha" by David Berg of The Children of God

The Museum of Weird and Demented Religious Tracts has several tracts from the bizarre and depraved sex cult The Children of God (now known as The Family International). This 1973 booklet was written by COG founder David Berg (using the pseudonym Moses David).  The artwork is by Hugo Westphal AKA Eman Artist (not a nice person) reminds me of underground comix artist Greg Irons. The text font reminds me of that used by Daniel Clowes in the Eightball series.

This booklet contains a rambling, barely coherent, and apparently stream-of-unconsciousness poem about the literary character Don Quixote. There's no price on it but there's a little logo with "Donation Suggested" on the upper right corner of the cover.

The Museum of Weird and Demented Religious Tracts is a project of Les Zazous Postmodern Art Galley of Bellaire, Ohio. Read the Welcome Statement of The Museum here.
