Tijuana Bible

That was the term for a type of short publication of cartoon pornography that originated in the

US during the 1920s and peaked in popularity during the Great Depression.

Named because of an inaccurate rumor that they were published in the Mexican border town with a

CD reputation, the compact comics included Lude drawings of popular characters like Betty

Boop and Wimpy from Popeye, as well as celebrities like boxer Joe Lewis and actress May West,

engaged in graphic sex acts, again to the porn parody films of the modern era. In 1948, a Tijuana

Bible defaming Communist by Alger Hiss included the first recorded usage of the term,

Blowjob. Blow had been codified as slang for bringing another person to orgasm centuries

earlier, but it was the industrious spirit of 20th century America that converted the sex act

into work. Andy Warhol would later make an experimental art film called Blowjob,

and the term became an awkward topic of family conversation during the Monica Lewinsky scandal,

the Bill Clinton administration. Cut to 1978, when two business partners in Orange County,

California founded a sit-down restaurant with a goal of putting a different kind of pee in your mouth.

Pizza. Their Chicago style deep dish recipe, rare on the West Coast, was a hit, and they soon

expanded their menu and began brewing their own beer and their signature dessert, the Pizzouki.

The initials that gave the company its name are of unclear origin, but their association with

the oral sex act is almost certainly unintentional. Nevertheless, now with 170 locations,

the Pizzouki is accidental double-entandra of a brand serves as a source of amusement for

body dads and snickering teens alike. This week on Doe Boys, BJs.
