I did a quick search, and it didn’t look like there were any posts on this yet, but it looks like Jack Chick’s got a new tract! Not bad, but not great either.
What’s with the Band-Aid on the kid who gets religion? He’s still got one (and still got a shiner, come to that) as an adult.
OK I gotta ask, why so much interest in chick tracts around here. He is just some nutty religious guy who pontificates with unfunny cortoons, isn’t he? Am I missing something?
Oh, I like that. If you have faith, your guardian angel will save you from death by snakes or knife-wielding guys in dark alleys. So if something bad happens to you, it must be because you didn’t have enough faith.
Why do bad things happen to good people? It doesn’t matter if they’re good if they haven’t accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior. And if they say they have, they’re probably lying, or else something bad wouldn’t have happened.
He’s a disgusting liar who brands anyone who doesn’t believe the hateful stuff he believes as Evil Inarnate. On the other hand, he’s kind of famous/infamous for his drawings in those tracts.
Here’s another sad thing. Two weekends ago, I went shopping downtown looking for a bilingual Bible (English/Korean), one with the KJV. Only one I can find is the so-called KKJV/KJV translation. It comes in a nice little box to protect it and in the box is a catalog of Chick tracts in Korean.
Oh god, someone tell the idiots in panel 12 that that’s totally illegal.
Many people have some sort of perverse fascination with them. I think it has something to do with camp, but it’s better than that.
Speaking of which, has anyone seen this? Comparing Chick tracts to Communist brainwashing propaganda is surprisingly honest for ol’ Jack Chick.
I was disappointed that there was not a panel featuring the three brothers roasting in Hell as devils jabbed them with pitchforks.
Snif. As a Catholic I feel neglected once again–I felt sure Hypocrite Brother Charlie would become a Cardinal or even the AntiChrist himself–the Pope! :eek:
And, again, no “HAW HAW HAW!” It ain’t right.
I did like the boss telling one bro to decide between Jesus and his job. Funny, it didn’t look like Afghanistan.
I was disappointed by the lack of fake “Christian” homosexuals converting good Christians to their side. I like being represented, dammit!
By those gay Peter Lorre devils…
Shouldn’t Charlie have been named Pat instead?
I miss the old jack, when was the last time anyone crashed into a gas truck and exploded?
Is it me or is the guy trying to knife Johnny either a Chinese charicature or a Charles Addams cartoon? And the pimp looks a lot like Tony Clifton.
And Tony Clifton was played by Andy Kaufman, who some said was not really dead and would rise again… in 2005… and Christ and Clifton both start with a C, and both were born Jewish and had dark hair…
Oh mon Dieu, it’s The Jack Chick Code! Where will it lead? Could it be that Little Suzie is a direct descendant of Christ?
My brain hurts!
All right! The bad guys are professing Christians too, and one of 'em’s even a famous TV preacher with a megachurch! The loony extremist Christians have started eating each other!
Anybody else wonder what the initials in “Reverend Dr. Charles Z. W. Sawyer, D.D.” stand for? (And Jack, you dope, you don’t use the title “Dr.” and the letters of the doctoral degree simultaneously. The guy’s either “Rev. Charles Z. W. Sawyer, D.D.” or “Rev. Dr. Charles Z. W. Sawyer”. Maybe Jack is consciously using delicate sarcasm here to point up how pompous and self-promoting Charlie is, but somehow I doubt it.)
More musings: Do pastors still take hot soup to the sick? Do ladies still generally wear hats to church, especially straw boater hats with little posies on the front? Somehow Jack’s picture of the social life of the godly seems permanently stuck in the 1930’s.
I have a feeling that this guy never had a grip on reality.
This confirms it for me.
Ahh. Chick Tracts… how perfectly loveable and cosy! That’s the super great thing about SDMB. You go away for some time and come back, and you can absolutely depend on everything staying safely the same. No nasty surprises here! Kinda like some sitcom from the sixties. The world moves on, but on SDMB it’s always late nineties and Clinton’s last term.
Here for a few older Chick Tracts reruns:
New Chick Tract, with a vengangce
New Chick Tract… The Worst One Ever
Found Chick Tracts In Your Kid’s Halloween Candy? Check In Here To Share!
Newest Chick Tract: “The Lost Day”
Jack’s Back: The latest Chick Tract
Bloodsucking carriers of disease…this one is a bit misleading. By the title you’d think it was about liberals, but it is in fact a Chick thread.
Something in common with Chick?
Jack Chick… now in 666 Technicolor!
New Chick tract hardly worth pitting……all Chick Tracts are worth a pitting!
Two New Chick Tracts! Get 'em while they’re hot!…a bargain!
Damn you Jack Chick! (George too)…please no experimenting - we’re dopers. Keep the Chick pittings in the Chick threads and the BuzhHitler pittings in the designated Chimp threads.
Really offensive Chick Tract…just the way we love them.
Not one, but TWO new Chick tracts out today.…Bonzai!
Jack Chick is back, baby! (New anti-Evolution tract!)…Hey! We’re not too fond of evolution round here either!
Apparently, Jack Chick Likes Lawyers…aw that was a low ball. Chick may be a disgusting little dirty dog sniffing his balls, but I see no need to be downright mean and compare him to lawyers. Lets keep it civilised.
Up Yers Chick Don’t Tell Them To Ruin Halloween For The Kids…think of the children!
Chick is at it again. Haw, Haw
Purely as a matter of Pit Tradition… NEW CHICK TRACT!!
Share and Enjoy!
Anyone else struck by the symbolism of the Angel grabbing a “snake” near the head while Henry has his pants undone? Makes you wonder, it does.
That IS sad. They’ve imported Chick tracts but have yet to bring in Pop Tarts. What is wrong with this country?
Hi Rune, welcome back! (I mean, I guess you’re telling us that you’ve been away, right?) Yes indeed, Chick Tract threads are one of the beloved perennials of the SDMB, and all the Chick “fans” love to get together in the Pit when a new tract comes out.
Good golly, you really haven’t been around lately, have you? Actually, there have in fact been a few discussions of post-Clinton occurrences on these boards. Just now and then, you know, in the time we can spare from listening to “La Vida Loca” and worrying about the Y2K bug.
From the dawn of time they came; moving silently down through the centuries, living many secret lives, struggling to reach the time of the Gathering; when the few who remain will battle to the last.
There can be only one.
