In the vien of Jack Chick we wish to create our own Tract. This of course will not have drawings but will be a script (see this thread for the back ground on this.
Essentially the theme will be a story about Bob trying to save two Trekies from the evil that is Trek. We are looking for volunteers to take a few panels of this 22 panels tract. Applicants must have a decent understanding of Chick’s style and beliefs for this to work… remember this is satire. For reference go to jack’s home
Applications will be acceptred today and after the 22 panels are done we can freely start another. So far We have Diogenes the Cynic and myself. Any other takers?
*Satan is watching a rerun of Star Trek in his firey domain. The Television merely shows a poorly drawn Enterprise and the words “Star Trek” in the wrong font. Satan is in a black evil looking Lazy boy and has an expression of evil merriment.
Sitting on his left side is Stan his demon side kick who has the fat dopey demon look of one who doesn’t understand his master’s glee. *
SATAN: HAW HAW HAW!
STAN: What is so funny Master?
SATAN: As long as this show remains on the air There will always be sould for me to courupt! And thanks to cheap syndication fees This show will air forever!
We cut to the living room of a middle class house. Two teenagers (one boy and one girl) are watching the same Star Trek rerun. The image on screen shows a badly drawn Spock with exaggerated pointy ears. Star Trek and sci-fi paraphenalia are scattered around the room. A crudely drawn dog is playing with a toy flying saucer. The kids are both wearing Star Trek t-shirts.
A concerned looking mother is watching from the background.
Boy: This is the episode where the secret of the Force is revealed by the aliens
ok that’s it forging ahead… Walrus may join in when (s)he can…
Panel 4
Split Screen using diagnal jagged line in a clever stylistic way that shows that this is a phone conversation between two people. Mom is on the Left Bob is (obviously) on the Right. Both have a lovely window behind them with the sun shining in Bobs while ominously storm clouds gather around Mom’s
MOM: Bob you have to help me… my children are watching Star Trek and talking about Forces. Now they say they are going to something called a convention
BOB: More like a Covention! Glad you called me I think I can help.
Bob has a thought bubble above his head BOB THOUGHT: Lord help me get to them in time!
Nice touch kingpengvin with the forced “Covention” and Diogenes I really liked the misuse of “the force” that seems very Chickian…“Chickesque?”
Panel 5
Graphic illustrations show how Federation symbol is derived from the pentagram/goat’s head/Baphomet symbols with pencil illustration of badly doctored photo of Gene Roddenberry meeting with Pope Pious XII and FDR during WWII juxtaposed with illustration of St. Peter’s Basilica. Caption reads: Few people realize that “science fiction” is just another tentacle of the whore of Babylon promoted by the Illuminati. Footnote self-references this tract as a source.
** Panel 6 **
Picture of the Boy and Girl badly drawn in costumes at a convention, the Girl as a vulcan and Boy as chewbacca. Both Children are talking to others in costume. Bob is in the corner of the frame in normal attire (well, for Bob, anyway). Thought bubble over Bob: “These are the children that have been turned away from Christ by this satanic force of Science Fiction. Please christ, give me the chance to save at least one of them.”
Bob approaches Boy and Girl(hereinafter known as Scott and Jenny
Bob “Hi, kids, I couldn’t help but overhear you talking about the Force. Did you know the Bible says that all such things are false and evil?”
Scott “I didn’t know that!” Jenny “Are you sure that’s true?”
Bob "Yes! In 1 Timothy 4:7 it says ‘Have nothing to do with godless and silly myths. Train yourselves in godliness instead.’ "
Scott "But…but, it all seemed so nice! Jenny “Why should we believe it just because you tell
that?”
As you can see here, I am trying to set up a split between Scott and Jenny, in reference to Panel 6, and Bob’s prayer that he can save “at least one of them” Will the conflict be resolved?Tune in for further panels.
