One of the catalyzing elements of the French Revolution was a flood of smutty comic books printed in Switzerland. The books showed the French royal family sexually engaged with clergy and animals. As propaganda created for illiterate people, it undermined any awe or respect the lower classes had for the monarchy. These days those smutty little books are worth a fortune.
