My favorite part is the very last caption box.
It’s like they just gave up.
I just wonder if ol’ Jack isn’t just trying to play to a different audience. A lot of his older work seemed to be aimed at teens and young adults, hence the horror shows. Looks like now he’s trying to come off as less threatening in order to appeal to the ten and under crowd. Doubt if it will work.
Now.
Someone hand me a non-fiction book, preferably one of the Straight Dope Books. All you’ve got is the sports section from today’s paper? OK, it’ll have to do.
Everybody join hands and form a circle around gobear.
***holds sports pages over gobear’s head"""
Do you, gobear renounce Jack Chick and all his works?
Do you renounce hatred against Catholics, Jews, Muslims, practitioners of alternate lifestyles, and Christians who aren’t fundamentalist enough?
Do you renounce all badly drawn comic-type books?
Do you promise that when handed a Chick Tract, you will do your best to refute the lies contained therein?
Do you promise that while the Giver of the Chick Tract is still within earshot you will laugh hysterically, then deposit the Chick Tract in the nearest garbage can, its natural home, or else give it to a person, strong in reason, who collects such things for their humorous content?
gobear having answered all of these in the affirmative…
In the name of All That Is True, or at least factually accurate, I command Jack Chick and all his minions to depart from this Child of Reasonable Intelligence, and remove themselves to the more unpleasant regions of the universe.
and all the people said
Amen
Quickly! I need an old priest and a young priest!

The power of Christ compels you!
(Sorry… It was the first thing I thought of when I saw that the little girl has no irises or pupils.)
Am I the only one who thought that the name “Ms. Henn” might be a subtle dig at feminism? After all, only evil ungodly commie feminazis call themselves Ms and the “Henn” may be a reference to “that old clackety hen?” Or something like that.
I used to really look forward to the new Chick tract but the keg is starting to pump foam. She looks slightly menacing now and again but she’s just plain bland. It’s like having Sally Forth witness, or The Family Circus or maybe The Ryatts if anyone remembers that one. I hate to say it but I miss Bob’s pencil mustache.
Someone planted a Chick tract where I work today. Not this one, though. In fact, it wasn’t very interesting at all. A little girl whose parents were Jehovah’s Witnesses was in the emergency room, and she was going to die in half an hour if mom and dad didn’t authorize a transfusion. Someone witnessed to dad, and he gave the go-ahead just in the nick of time. No Bob, no “HAW-HAW-HAW”, no faceless deity on the throne. Pretty blah all around.
Those kids! Those eyes! The last time I saw pupils that blown out, it was behind about 1500 mikes of Blue Cheer!
It’so so me to come late and diss the host.
The modified Suzy one was funny, but that second to last panel was outta line for a child character. If Suzy was an adult, it would have been funny, but not from a prepubescent girl.
Oh. Darn.
Unless a real effort is made to get the older material back into circulation, it looks like my Chick Tract Rite of Exorcism my soon be… sniffno… longer… needed sob
Og, I feel so useless. wail
