New Chick Tract: "Here, Kitty, Kitty"

[mobo85]

I seem to have somehow become the unofficial SDMB Keeper of the Chick Tracts, and here's a new one for Halloween 2006: Here, Kitty Kitty! (http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1032/1032_01.asp?wpc=1032_01.asp&wpp=b) In this tract, which appears to have been drawn by special guest artist The Reanimated Corpse of Charles M. Schulz, a group of kids plan to cast a dark spell which somehow involves killing a cat to put a curse on their teacher. But Miss Johnson knows that Jesus will protect her!

I love the shot of Jesus waving goodbye to his Dad and jumping off of his cloud to go to Earth. Although for some reason he looks like Fu Manchu in the shot where he exits his tomb.

Also, a new "black tract:" Soul Sisters (http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1105/1105_01.asp), an African-American version of 1996's Best Friend (http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0033/0033_01.asp). Apparently, God is a white man and Jesus is black- unless that black angel with a face who banishes Adam and Eve is also God.

[JohnT]

:confused:

Did Charles Schulz get resurrected... wrongly? Or maybe it was something like Brundlefly?

Whatever, the kids got off easy. Why weren't they cast into the Fires of Hell immediately, like in other Chick tracts? An admonition to do your homework? :rolleyes: Why, back in my day Jack Chick sent millions to hell on a mere whim, why I remember when he condemned the entire Roman Catholic faith to Hell! Billions, I tells ya, billions! There was none of this modern, librul, namby-pamby whiny, sissy-boy "go do your homework and sin no more" crapola, nosirree, we were told that we would go straight to hell if we had but one transgression... and we were grateful!

Why, I even... hey, you kids! Get off my lawn!

[Little Nemo]

It's even better if you imagine Miss Johnson saying "wah-wah-wah-wah" everytime she talks.

[Little Nemo]

But my question is, Miss Johnson says that the magic spell won't work on her because Jesus is protecting her. So if she was some godless Jew or Muslim or Catholic, the magic spell would have worked? Meaning that magic does work, just not as good as the Jack Chick brand of Jesus power?

[JohnT]

And since when Chick start paraphrasing bad action movie lines?

"He took our punishment... so we don't have to!"

Reading through his tracts, I get the impression that Chick thinks black magic is real and powerful, though not as powerful as Christ of course. It probably could afflict Muslims, Mormons, Hindus, and the like.

Actually it reminds me more of the slogan for Scrubbing Bubbles® bathroom cleaner: "We work hard so you don't have to!" Presumably, Jesus washes away sins as the Scrubbing Bubbles wash away dirt.

[Kimstu]

"Why are they casting the spell?"

"To get better grades!"

:) Love it.

[Duck Duck Goose]

My favorite part: Where Miss Johnson says, "Don't do witchcraft--do your homework!" and the kids respond with, "Okay", and then--they apologize.

Truly, Jack is a fantasist on a par with Tanith Lee or Ursula LeGuin.

And I don't like this new Lucy either - she's more whiny and less assertive than the old Lucy. I can't imagine this Lucy yanking the football away.

And since when do adults talk?

Is this Bizarro-Peanuts, or is it evolution?

[mobo85]

I can't imagine this Lucy yanking the football away.

Of course not, Charlie Brown would do that. After all, he's the one who came up with the idea to put the spell on Miss Johnson in the first place.

[Alma]

Why do they keep holding the cat like a barbell? Miss Johnson looks like she's squeezing the life out of the damn thing.

Look closely. Sonny was pushed; that's not a wave he's giving Daddy.

[Tuckerfan]

I love the shot of Jesus waving goodbye to his Dad and jumping off of his cloud to go to Earth. Although for some reason he looks like Fu Manchu in the shot where he exits his tomb. Did he fall, or was he pushed?

Chick's getting as soft and squishy as Nixon's testicles in his old age. The Chick I grew up with would have damned all those kids to Hell for going trick-or-treating, much less for spell casting. I do not know this "new" Chick.

[Kevbo]

It's even better if you imagine Miss Johnson saying "wah-wah-wah-wah" everytime she talks.

I can read that as either Charlie Brown's teacher, or Debbie Downer, and both make sense in context.

[Mangetout]

What a lame ending; here's what should have happened:
-Runaway road tanker carrying liquid hydrogen should crashes through the fence, knocking down (but not killing) the three bad kids
-Betsy and fluffy are thrown clear, unharmed
-Tanker ruptures, venting supercooled liquids over the three bad kids, freezing them solid almost instantly (but slowly enough that they have time to cry "Noooooo!")
-Hydrogen ignites; the explosion shatters the three bad kids into tiny shards, then consumes them in a huge fireball (Mrs Johnson looks on, exclaiming "Oh! The Humanity!")
-Three bad kids appear before Faceless White God, yadda yadda, get tossed into the fires of hell.

Isn't that better?

[Lissa]

What is up with all the animal scenes in soul sisters?

What is up with all the animal scenes in soul sisters?
I think it's meant to be something to do with the 'perfect creation run amok because of Adam's sin' thing.

[FisherQueen]

The teacher is seriously crossing the line between state and church. If the spell-casting kid tells his mommy, she might be looking at a long, serious conversation with the principal and the superintendent for proselytizing.

[Eve]

I love Jesus' "TA-DA!" reemergence from the tomb!

And anyone notice little Fluffy (who's not very fluffy, by the way) looks like Al Jolson in blackface in his little cage? I expect him down on one paw singing "Mammy!"

Maybe this is a kinder, gentler Jack Chick. Yay!

As for the teacher crossing the line, I think the spell-casting kid who was going to kill his sister's kitty might not be too concerned with telling Mom how Mean C'tian Teacher was pushing Jesus on him.

[Baldwin]

I think my favorite feature of the Chick tracts may be when we find that a child (or sometimes an adult) has somehow grown up in America without ever hearing about Jesus or, apparently, absorbing any religious concepts at all. The child will then absolutely believe anything an adult authority figure tells her about the way the universe works.

[Anaamika]

On the one hand, it always bothers me when I read crap like this and there's always this inevitable line - "Bad things will happen!" implying, of course, if Jesus was believed those bad things wouldn't happen. But bad things happen every day.

On the other hand - yes, he was definitely pushed.

[Clothahump]

I love the shot of Jesus waving goodbye to his Dad and jumping off of his cloud to go to Earth.

Is that what happened? I saw that frame and the first thing that I thought was that Big Juju shoved him off the cloud. And of course, the Rolling Stones started playing in the background of my mind....

[LonesomePolecat]

The artwork is crude and amateurish even by the standards of a Jack Chick tract, and even taking into account the fact that both tracts are clearly targeting children.

Anybody else get the feeling these were rush jobs?

[Monty]

Man, Chick's definitely losing his touch. There wasn't much at all offensive in that one. I did get a laugh out of the little girl asking if she had to use soap and water to get clean. "No, God has a better way!"

What a lame ending; here's what should have happened:Alternate take: During Fluffy's rescue, she scratches Mrs. Johnson, who (in homage to Cat People) is turned into a black panther (still wearing Coke bottle-bottom eyeglasses). Bad kids instantly repent, are eaten by Mrs. Johnson and attain instant salvation.

Cthulu then appears and eats all the remaining protagonists.

The End.

Jeez, you forgot the HAW HAW HAW.

Meaning that magic does work, just not as good as the Jack Chick brand of Jesus power?

That's exactly what he thinks. This is why some Fundamentalists hate the Harry Potter series so much. They believe that witchcraft is real, and the work of the Devil.

But my question is, Miss Johnson says that the magic spell won't work on her because Jesus is protecting her. So if she was some godless Jew or Muslim or Catholic, the magic spell would have worked? Meaning that magic does work, just not as good as the Jack Chick brand of Jesus power?

At first I though he wasn't for real... but i guess he is.
He's one of those rightwing Christian nutjobs the US is so famous for. He's been cranking these tracts out for years now, almost all of them filled with weird, nearly insane ideas about religion. I wouldn't say that he was big in the States, but certainly many people have seen his work.

[DocCathode]

Lucy says her cat is saved too! But, and reader of the King James (the only REAL Bible) knows, animals have no souls and cannot be saved. By stating that a cat can be saved, Chick seeks to alter the Laws Of Nature's God! Blasphemy!!!!

[Lynn Bodoni]

I think my favorite feature of the Chick tracts may be when we find that a child (or sometimes an adult) has somehow grown up in America without ever hearing about Jesus or, apparently, absorbing any religious concepts at all. The child will then absolutely believe anything an adult authority figure tells her about the way the universe works. Sometimes the proselytizer is another little kid, too. We can't forget Li'l Susie. But yeah, growing up in the USA pretty much guarantees that a person will be exposed to quite a bit of Christianity. I'm an atheist, my husband is agnostic, and neither of us gave our daughter any religious instruction unless she asked about why people believed this or that...and believe me, she had lots of exposure to Christian ideas.

[Count Blucher]

The tracts are also shoved into candy-bags in lieu of candy on Halloween Night by people with hokey smiles and vacant stares, telling you, "Oh, but its Much better than Candy...!"

So theoretically, I could get my own copy of "Majik Spells" and take over three quarters of the world as the Dark Warlock King.

No, what Lucy...um, Betsy means is that they were both saved in a different sense. Fluffy was saved in the physical sense since he didn't die in whatever weird spell Charlie Brown was going to do, and Lucy/Betsy was saved in the spiritual sense since she accepted Jesus into her heart.


And I still think Jesus jumped off the cloud on his own accord. And I just noticed that Daddy is waving goodbye back- although his hand gesture could be interpreted as a weak push. "Hey, son, look, what's that down there? It looks like a soul in trouble- oops! Sorry! Bye, son! See you in 33 years!"

"NO, you've got to get clean first."
"With soap and water?"
"No, Betsy. He has a much better way!"

So, apparently, you have to take a shower with Jesus. (Actually, Chick has depicted sinners as having stink lines before, and it kind of makes sense, as sinners and the like are often referred to as "the unwashed.")

Brought to you by Jesus®! He cleans sin- so you don't have to.

That won't do any good. This is the Chickverse, where nobody's ever even heard of Jesus, except for the occasional John Waters look-alike. The kid's mom would probably ask, "Who's he? Another teacher?" Then a chunk of Skylab would land on both of them and they'd wind up in Hell.

I poked through Chick's website looking for an email addy I could send a nasty letter, and this one is the best I could come up with: productinfo@chick.com

I'm going to bitch at them about Chick getting soft and how his latest tract showed nothing of the fires of Hell and seemed to indicate that Halloween is okay (which as any Chick devotee knows is clearly untrue), I'll just go off on this long screed (after loading myself up with lots and lots of alcohol, first, of course) about how I now doubt Chick's claims to being a man of God and the like. Maybe that'll bring the old Chickee back. Certainly any reply I get will be interesting.

Sexual desires for Jesus and priests are an old fetish. I've run into it fairly often. IMO it's common enough that I am surprised not to have run into a set of slang for it, or porn, and sex products based on it. Before anybody posts a link, I'm familiar with the Baby Jesus buttplug and Jesus Jackhammer dildo. What I haven't seen are lines of videos featuring lapsed Catholic women seducing priests.

[Tuckerfan]

Well, here's the email I sent to Chick's peopleGentlemen,

When I was in Junior High a fellow student, defying the anti-Christian stance of the public school that I attended, gave me one of Jack Chick's tracts. Needless to say, it transformed my life. Not only did I find Jesus from reading that tract, but I also began to understand exactly how insidious Satan and his minions were. Mr. Chick's pull-no-punches stance showed me that my teachers were wrong when they tried to teach evolution and that the people I thought were my friends, who played Dungeons and Dragons were pawns in Satan's plan. Since then, I have been a regular church goer and have done everything I can to spread the word of Christ, using Mr. Chick's wonderful publications in my battles against Satan. Imagine my disappointment when I saw Mr. Chick's latest tract "Here Kitty, Kitty." I simple do not understand how this could have been written by the same man who showed me that trick or treating was evil. The powerful message of Mr. Chick's previous works was missing from this one. It just seemed to have NONE of the energy of his other tracts. God and Jesus both seem to be happy-go-lucky kind of folks, without any emotion at all. I'm sure that the man who wrote the earlier tracts would agree we were all sinners in the hand of an angry God. There was NO anger in this tract, instead, it was filled with a "ho hum" attitude. I have to wonder if Mr. Chick has some how lost his faith in Jesus. I simply will NOT be handing this tract, and any others like it, if Mr. Chick continues in this manner. This is NOT the Jesus that I know, and that Mr. Chick introduced me to. This is some sort of false god, and I, for one, am sorely disappointed that Mr. Chick has lost his way.

This past year has been dominated by such godless Hollywood types as Tom Cruise who has been allowed by the media to spread his Satanic message that Scientology is the one true religion. Mr. Chick, in the past, has been willing to confront people like Tom Cruise head on, and I had hoped that Mr. Chick would finally create a tract that would blow the lid of Hollywood and the Satannic Scientologists who control it. That is not to be, I see, and I'm afraid that unless Mr. Chick returns to preaching the Word of the one true God, I will NOT be handing out his tracts.

Yours in Christ,

[Tuckerfan]

Guess what? I got's me an email from Chick & Co.! Dear Tuckerfan,

Don't worry Tucker. Nothing has changed. Some of our tracts are in-your-face and others are more gentle, like "One Way", "Charlie's Ants", "Somebody Loves Me", "The Little Ghost", and this new one "Here, Kitty Kitty", "that we might by all means save some" (I Cor. 9:22). Some are tracts written for kids.

If "Hard-hitting" is what you want look at our newest book, "Babylon Religion". It will be an eye-opener. And, wait until you see the tracts we have in store for 2007.

You can also see the last tract we produced called, "Men of Peace". You can read it online at www.chick.com .

We appreciate your interest in our materials and your taking the time to write to us.

May God bless you.

I didn't know that having stink lines was a sin. Thank you, Mr. Chick, for showing me that a shower will get me into heaven!

But it's a shower in blood! Seriously, given the insistence in previous tracts about Jesus blood washing sins away, I wondered how the little girl would react when the teacher tells her "You have to be washed clean with blood!" (a sensible kid would have run away screaming and become an atheist after all this craziness.)

Instead, we get the lame line of God having a "better way."

[constanze]

Wow, to hear Chick openly admitting that his tracts are "in-your-face" and "hard-hitting" ... shudder
