What are some good outsider art comics?
I'm looking for some truly revolting stuff that really reads like the author has some kind of rotting hole in his mind somewhere.

Not necessarily revolting but Green is definitely fucked in the head
Is this the guy who was suspected of being an actual serial killer in the 90s?
The obvious starting point is "Sonichu," but I'd also strongly recommend the furry comic "Jack" by David Hopkins. If you're not familiar with it, it's a sort of anthology series about this imagined furry version of heaven and hell that revolves around the titular Jack, who is the edgiest grim reaper stand-in in existence. There's tons of ultraviolence, gore, melodrama, and graphic sexual content, as well as numerous strips about serial killers and school shooters. I can't give you much of a summary beyond that because it truly is insane. It's stupid, excessive, maudlin, gruesome, and more to the point fascinating in how ill-conceived everything is.
Being graphic and vulgar does not make a comic "outsider art." Outsider art refers to artists who aren't traditionally trained making art outside of the confines of the mainstream. Think Wesley Willis.

>Outsider art refers to artists who aren't traditionally trained making art outside of the confines of the mainstream.
You think the guy behind Boiled Angel was a traditionally trained artist making art within the confines of the mainstream art world? But I was also responding to the 'rotting hole in the brain' part of OP's request.
Tea Party Comix.

The barrel idea would be less retarded if it was a portal to hell or tartarus or whatever, as opposed to a literal dumping ground for every serial killer in America. Given that the whole comic is about the afterlife and other dimensions, wouldn't it make more sense for this place to be a point where the mortal plane intersects with the underworld? If that were the case, you could make the situation extra metal by having the corpses down there be damned souls who are trapped in a state of undeath and are conscious of their suffering (hence the "screaming" in the title). They've been deprived of life for so long that they reach out for any trace of it they can detect, so they'd drag down any living human beings who get thrown down to them.
I realize this is a comic about furry demons and other ridiculous shit, but these are basic steps that Hopkins could've taken yet didn't. You don't have to make the fantastical elements in your work realistic per se, but they have to at least be believable. Getting too disconnected from reality results in the audience not being engaged.
Probably goes without saying but you should check out the works of Henry Darger.

"In the Realms of the Unreal" kinda sorta counts
These are great, in an absurdist nonsense sort of way. I'm guessing this isn't a genuine endorsement of the tea party movement's beliefs, right?
Another racist comic. I feel like racists are a good source for this sort of art.

I'm pretty sure it was produced non-ironically. I mean it's satirizing comic book covers but the creator was anti-Obama and not just making fun of racists as far as I can tell.

Kelly?
just be happy people are actually contributing to your thread faggot
Really now? I was certain this was making fun of those sorts of beliefs by exaggerating Obama's policy decisions to the level of supervillainy by having him battle superheroes in an operatic, over-the-top fashion. Chalk it up to Poe's law, I suppose.
I didn't start the thread you flaming faggot, I was just pointing out a discrepancy between the OP and what other people were suggesting.
>Outsider art refers to artists who aren't traditionally trained making art outside of the confines of the mainstream.
what? outsider art refers to art made by artists who are outside of society.
Oh sick, I'm also a big fan of "RAP." Forget about Three Six Mafia and Outkast, that's one of my favorite artists from the genre.
But the OP asked for "truly revolting stuff that really reads like the author has some kind of rotting hole in his mind somewhere". Anyway there is some overlap. People who don't have patience for societal mores regarding vulgarity and offensiveness and gore and racism also often don't have the patience to learn traditional art.
This is along similar lines. The Black Panther Coloring Book. Technically not a comic I guess. It was actually produced by the FBI CoIntelPro program to discredit the Black Panthers. I feel like the art has an amateurish charm though and the over-the-top violence is pretty enjoyable.
is this skeleton jelly
based strong black man
Anything that Edika wrote and drew
kill all the white men
den we be free
this is how it's done, children.
i would be interested to know who the artist was. if it was just some fbi guy dicking around, or if they hired some amateur.
off the pig
the pig pissed himself, lel
This.
Not this.
Who would be Yea Forums's Daniel Johnston?
>This.
>Not this.
What did you mean by this? Are you saying the ones you said 'not this' to aren't outsider art, or you just don't like them? Are you OP?
Here is a comic put out by an actual cult (a Christian sex cult called the Children of God, or the Family). The art actually seems quite good! So not really outsider art in the 'untrained artist' sense. But hopefully the weirdness and outsider status of the artists make it acceptable for the thread.

Anyone know of any other comics produced by cults?

It's a long, slow burn. Imagine Dominic Deegan but for perverts.
What the heck is this?
Comic about lesbians going to hell.
Is it ironic or sincere? I can't tell anymore.
Sincere. It's not some Christian thing though, it's by a lesbian.
This goddamn shit had way too little sex and nudity to be worth looking at.
It was cute and funny. And a little sexy, if you're into furries I guess.
Look I was promised lesbian bondage and I didn't get very much of that.
Unironically sonichu
The barrel comic came before Jack, based on a furry rp the artist did where he played the blue furry, who is his self-insert.
Cerebus should tickle that note in your brain, around issue 185 or so you see how whacked he is, however you get the distinct pleasure of it remaining a 10/10 comic for like 50 more issues. Then he really shows you how fucked his mind is.
Targ is a deep dive into paranoid schizophrenia, OP. Check it out
There's a whole documentary based in this guy and its truly fascinating.
Is the art done with some computer program?
This writer is one encounter with Bioluminecent FBI Basketball-Americans away from being Terry Davis
I have no idea. These are from ten years back or so? I'm guessing an old comic maker site or something
A reasonable complaint, but I still think it was great and I'm waiting for more by the author.
It's literally right there in every comic, Bitstrips.
