This is an image I stumbled upon that (from what I have found) depicts characters from a comic called Preacher. At face value the image is humorously overdone -- a reverend smoking, drinking, and (worst of all) playing cards with his deviant cohorts -- but a Google search suggested the comic might be a little more relevant:
Additionally, the series examines the role of American identity and ideals in the modern age. This extends beyond the personal level, where old-fashioned western "Cowboy" ethics and attitudes meet modern feminism, to the collective level, where the traumas of the Vietnam War, corporate excess and the cyclical nature of violence, among other things, are explored. The conflict between liberal and conservative politics is also examined, as are depression, repression, sexuality, pornography, drug abuse, homelessness and immigration. (From Wikipedia)
