It just goes to show that ol’ Jack can’t draw for shit. This is how Faith should look like : [http://blog.oregonlive.com/peteramescarlin/2007/11/medium\_270px-Faith-buffy.jpg](http://blog.oregonlive.com/peteramescarlin/2007/11/medium_270px-Faith-buffy.jpg)

If they ever allow avatars on the SDMB, I’m going to use panel 10 as mine. **IGOR!**

Unfortunately, I haven’t had an opportunity since I graduated college, but I’ve always wanted to respond to prosletizers the way the “sinners” in Chick Tracts do.

“Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior?”

“Who?”

I think it would blow their minds.

In the Chickiverse, **homosexuality** is always a result of demonic possession; no stretch vampirism is too.

Faith gets me hot.

No, not her, I mean “faith”

Ok, I’m kidding.

I printed this and colored nipples on Faith then soiled my monitor.

Just kidding.

Or not.

My Russian studies professor in college was named Igor.

How the hell would a VAMPIRE get cold? I thought vampires didn’t like fire?

And “the Chosen One?” I thought Anakin Skywalker was the Chosen One? Darth Vader would have Igor for breakfast.

Hey, there’s no excuse for name calling!  
A rather stupid tract to say the least, but I did enjoy one of the lasts panels.

“If we can’t trust Satan, who can we trust?”  
“Jesus?”  
“Shut up.”

I have no idea why I thought that was funny.

Eh, I’m not really seeing it. Unless you mean Buffyverse Faith, in which case I’m with you up to ‘in the butt’.

I really should be stoned before I read these things.  
Was the “9 unknown men” a reference to the 9 old men, a group of animators from the early days of Disney studios?

So, they summoned the devil just to ask him whether Igor will do well? And all he did then was to answer ‘yup, he’ll do’? Seems to me that, if you could summon the devil at will, you could do more useful things with him than just use him as a Magic 8 Ball… They could’ve all become gifted Blues musicians at the very least.

Oh, and, Chick’s mythology surely has some similarities to Lucas’, only it’s Jesus who gives you the force, not midichlorians.

I especially like the teaching panel (17th) - looks like it’s pretty easy to learn how to be a vampire…!

And is it me, or does panel 33, where they wonder about him still being in the house, suggest that there is more than literal biting going on there…presumably that’ll be all the nasty sin acting when faced by a virgin…?

Possibly.

But I’m wondering why the vampire on the right in panel 16 looks like George Carlin.

Is Chick taking a shot at him too?

No, you’re thinking of Neo. Or Eddie Murphy in that movie with Charles Dance and the hot Tibetan girl.

The sinners, vampires, and Satanists are exciting and interesting. Their black magic is _real_, they are in touch with greater powers, and they are capable of inflicting serious harm on anyone other than an evangelical Christian.

Faith, on the other hand, is bland and forgettable.

Were I young and impressionable, this tract would certainly have the opposite of the desired effect.

I thought _at first glance_ that the OP’s post read

, and from that point on, I could not take the thread seriously.

It’s interesting to note that the Singapore’s has blocked off the site; so may someone fill me in as to what happened in the comic?
