Francis Edward Dec (January 6, 1926 – January 21, 1996) was an American lawyer best known for typewritten diatribes that he independently mailed and published from the late 1960s until his death. His works are characterized by conspiracy theories and highly accusatory and vulgar attacks, often making use of conglomerate phrases like "Mad Deadly Worldwide Communist Gangster Computer God"[1] to slander people, groups, or companies that he believed were engaging in electronic harassment against him, and gained a cult following from the mid-1980s onward due to his comedic incoherence. He has additionally been described as an outsider writer in the field of outsider literature.[2][3]
