Blue?
Any more info on the "chap book" reference, Gargoyle? In the UK, this would simply be a collection of printed pages, possibly with woodcut or other illustration, stapled or stitched together to form a booklet, distributed in much the same way as broadsheet ballads (and probably by the same peole). i.e., not restricted to bawdry.
