I sometimes see chick tracts in bathrooms and they are usually full of anti-catholic, anti-muslim, anti-mormon, etc information.
Are there any parody chick tracts that offer anti-christian information? Basically a chick tract like comic book that discusses the pagan and astrological rituals in christianity, or that condense the info in books like Zealotinto a short comic? I would like to leave a few in spaces where others are always leaving chick tracts.
There’s heaps. As you might expect, Chick Tracts are attractive to parodists, although not many that are anti-Christian, exactly.
The “Who’s Your Daddy” parody used Chick’s art and was vulnerable to legal action. I found a site that still has it up. It’s certainly pro-atheist and mocks certain inconsistencies in the Bible, but it’s mostly about attacking Creationism. http://foo.ca/wp/chick-tract-satire/whos-your-daddy/
I presume the “Dark Dungeons” parody “Dork Dungeons” also led to lawyers, but it’s still up, too. http://www.unhelpful.org/chyx/ It’s sort of funny in a LARPing for losers way. Actually, a film parody is coming out this year. It looks dire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk2Pr9jXCr8
And then there’s a Lovecraftian parody called “Who Will be Eaten First”. Y’know, I’m thinking Jack can’t afford busy lawyers, because this one is still up as well. Chick Parody: Who Will Be Eaten First? | Jack Chick's Funnybook Gospel
I remember reading one long ago that I think had original art and was actually funny, but I can’t find it.
There’s a lovely Cthulhu one that’s been floating about the internet for a good long while now.
I know there are parodies, and I enjoy them. I’d say my favorite parody is Galactus is coming.
The problem is I’m looking for ones I can actually buy paper copies for cheap (actual chick tracts are only a quarter or less each) to leave in public places, and I’d want ones that make good arguments for why the foundations of contemporary Christianity are false so I can set them out where other people are setting out the anti-catholic, anti-muslim chick tracts
Couldn’t you print them yourself cheaper than that?
Were you hoping to match the quality of the actual Chick tracts?
Ah, memories…the Anti-tract parody archive and Luciferian Liberation Front have archives of some old favorites from back in the day, the latter ones with actual hand-drawn original art (and a more “serious” bent), albeit with a Clinton-era web design aesthetic.
Catholics and Mormons are Christians, so the actual Chick tracts targeted against them are themselves anti-Christian.
Explicitly refuted by Chick. You can’t be Christian when you worship Baphomet. Which makes me wonder how long you have to attend these churches before they trust you and replace the wine/grape juice (or whatever Mormons use) with baby blood. Maybe it will be sooner now that a Jesuit has taken over. The Pope wants to reduce poverty, thus keeping people from dying sooner and entering FundieHeaven thanks to a deathbed conversion.
The Cthulhu one is always beautiful.
Besides the parodies, I seriously wonder if some kooky Muslim is producing anti Christian tracts somewhere. I would imagine he’d also produce anti Hindu tracts.
From Modern Drunkard Magazine, we have The Uppity Drunk. I think it uses art from “Big Daddy”?
There are a fair number of Mini comic artists though their work was more popular during the 1990s before webcomics took the indi-artist world by storm. Methinks the Jack Chick model might be a viable one: adapting some of the material from Rational Wiki would be a legitimate exercise.
Count to think of it, this isn’t a bad propaganda model.
It’s possible but seems unlikely. A lot of places don’t really do comics. I also suspect that the medium is strongly associated with the West for a lot of Muslims.
That one was done very well, thanks for sharing it.
I know that some Muslims have eschewed any and all representational art, but I don’t know whether that’s a common stance among Muslims today.
Not the answer to Wesley’s request, but it would be a more interesting place if people would leave copies of Spiro’s Greek Myths lying around! Unfortunately, as affordable as they are, they’re not cheap enough to give away as tracts.
Unlike anti-Christian tracts, they might actually get read, and people might learn a bit.
Still, I like the ideal of rational humanist tracts. I’d particularly like to see ones that debunk creationism!
