11. Linda Lovelace As Weather Weapon
The top starts with Steve Stiles' (1943-2020) one-page strip Wet Mouth Follies printed in the 6th issue (fig. 6). Examining the works of Beck and Cutrate, we've speculated upon God's urge to punish dinosaurs and humans for their wrong sexual behavior, but there's a difference between 'tell' and 'show,' as you know. Steve Stiles both shows and tells what awaits the devotees of Gerard Damiano's Deep Throat movie, which, by the way, was also released fifty years ago (congrats!). According to his vision of the problem, Linda Lovelace would become a sought-after weather weapon as God drains the areas where damned cocksuckers live.

10. All The Pretty Little Horses
The 10th position is shared by two artists who depicted... No, not mating horses or centaurs, but females being ridden like horses. From this description, you may guess at least one of them, namely, Robert Crumb, whose works were the subject of one of our articles. His Josephine The Cross-Eyed Quadroon, published in the 5th issue, 1976, is a variation of the notorious Angelfood McSpade (fig. 7a – 7d). Just like Angelfood, Josephine is a naive black woman whose big ass always saves the day. With twerk and the ass contest depiction, Crumb seems to predict our days when the big booty is trendy. The second strip, Green Pastures, from the 8th issue (fig. 8a – 8d), is by our ol'-good friend Steve Stiles, who started his career in the science fiction fanzines. Stiles shows the unhappy future of humankind enslaved by aliens who, like jockeys, ride on our backs. "The hell on earth," you will say. "Not for masochists," we'll answer.

9. Cyber-Hokusai
The next strip, Arcane Love (fig. 9a – 9d), depicting the varieties of cybersex in the future as seen from 1979, again belongs to the contributor of sci-fi fanzines Stiles. Curiously, besides making love in zero gravity and getting trapped in the sex zoo on another planet, the future offers you encounters with tigers and octopi. When we said that shunga masters were ahead of their time, we couldn't imagine how much!

8. The Universe of Spielberg and Damiano Crossovers
The 8th place is bestowed upon the One Dongs Family by Joel Beck, and it's probably his best comic series throughout Bizarre Sex. The family emerges in the 5th and 6th issues of the magazine. The latter case (fig. 10) is a one-page strip about the complications of having orthodox relatives, and the former (fig. 11a – 11b) is a longer story devoted to modern Romeo and Juliette, so to say, as can be judged by the quickness of their relationship. The strip begins with Dick Long inviting his girlfriend to watch a pornographic horror movie Deep Jaws. Only this detail is enough to include the work in our top. I mean, who wouldn't watch a crossover of Spielberg and Damiano?

7. Holy Not Holy
The next comic Virgins (fig. 12a – 12d) printed in the 6th issue was created by Billy Rampweed. It observes different reasons for abstention from sex and ends with the tragic case of Watkins, who concluded that his sperm contained information losing which he lost his brain capacities. He decided to abstain from masturbation (and sex also) to become extra-smart, so his head eventually exploded... Considering the notion that any sperm waste is damned by God because humans must reproduce, we wonder why virgins are not damned for the same reason as masturbators and gays?

6. The Complications of God's Will
One of the longest strips, Hornies (fig. 13a - 13p) by Guy Colwell, was printed in the last 10th issue of Bizarre Sex, 1982. In short, this story shows what happens if someone watches porn on acid. So if you planned to watch some adult movies after doing drugs but discovered that you didn't have any acid or couldn't find a good movie, we advise you to look through this strip instead. By the way, copulation, heterosexual this time, is defined here as "the source of our destructiveness." This notion may even stop God, who told us to multiply, from draining another portion of homosexuals on the pages of previous issues.
