Read it and weep.
“I love it!” (in the words of the fat little devil). It’s got it all: the “haw! haw!,” Christian Bob, with his creepy little John Waters moustache, the hilarious Bible flashback sequence—and my favorite touch, the voyeur angel with the video-cam, going, “Terrible!” as he tapes the motel tryst.
I give it eight demons on the Chick-O-Meter.
Although it has the typical Chick touches, the message isn’t exactly as out there as most of his tracts are. Adultery is wrong, and there’s no good excuse for screwing around on your spouse.
Hmmm…not his usual straw-man target this time. I think most people would actually agree with him that cheating on your spouse is generally not a good idea.
He does get bonus loony points for the menagerie of demons and angels following Roger and his lady friend into the hotel room. I love the fact that the angel has a video camera too. Apparently a cameraman for Sinners Gone Wild.
All in all, a pretty good Chick effort, though not among his losing-touch- with- reality best.
Is it me or does Roger bear a resemblance to Mr. Spock in the “droping dead” panel?
Yeah, he didn’t really go out on a limb with this one. But still pretty funny.
…and of course there was the subtle jab at Jews, when the little demon calls Roger a “klutz.”
Considering Jews own the internet, I’m surprised that actually got on there!
I think he more than made up for having a decent message by throwing in all those crazy Chick touches. I just loved the voyeuristic angels and the way they stood happily beside the evil demons, but only the angels had camcorders. And then there’s the lovely decapitation scene.
I probably should have asked this question when someone posted the link to the Evolution tract of Chick’s:
What’s the reference to the fossil with dinosaur tracks and human footprints?
If you’re not familiar with it, this tract takes the Bible literally and has everything created in one week. Of course the dinosaurs would have had to been created then too . . .
EVERY act of adultery recorded in history?
surely not.
i’m thinking SOMEONE got away with it at SOME point in recorded history.
jack, buddy, you need help.
LOL
That was funny!
I see I’m not the only one to notice the filming!
Loved the note from his wife,“You probably have aids. Shame on you!”
(John Waters is not creepy, though some think his mustache is)
I found this link. Are Dinosaur and Human footprints found together in the Paluxy River near Glen Rose
Enjoy.
irishgirl, it depends on how you define “recorded.” To Chick, and the like, God sees all knows all and gives a shit about all, its all been recorded by a camcorder wielding angel (Hey, they say the Vatican’s got the best porn!* ), for the folks who don’t subscribe to that view, then, yeah, quite a few people have gotten away with it!
*Before anyone tries to link in Cecil’s column stating that the Vatican’s porn collection, is, in reality, pretty tame, let me just say that this was a JOKE! Mmkay? Thank you.
“He killed the giant and beheaded him.”
Uh, thou shalt not kill?
Whatever…
I love it too!
The angel with the camera is an absolute classic.
I also love the wording in the “DAVID WAS CAUGHT!!” panel. If only it went on longer it might go something like this-
David: She said what?
Man: She said I’m with child!
David: But you’re a…
Man: I know, but she insisted I deliver that message.
David: Duuude, she’s freaking nuts! Remind me not to sleep with every random naked stranger that comes wandering by my window.
Man: Yes, your excellency.
I also laughed out loud at
“Drop dead, Bob!.. 8 weeks later, Roger dropped dead.”
and one of my very favorite Jack Chick (or really anyone) Quotes:
“And the Lord Jesus said unto Roger…”

I don’ t know to laugh or cry. Jack’s tracts are unintenionally hilarious on a camp level but hateful, nasty and a deep embarassment to Christians at the same time. I just want to know where the bible says that decent artwork would be an abomination unto the lord.
Does anyone suppose the front cover is designed to tie in with the release of the new Spiderman movie? That Jack Chick’s a marketing genius, all right.
Huh.
So, apparently, adultery isn’t evil because like, he screwed around on his wife, hurting her and the kids, and the fact that he took advantage of some young girl.
No, it’s because the Bible said it’s bad.
Sheesh.
Did anyone notice that the angel watching King David commit adultery didn’t have a camcorder? How did God record everybody’s sins before the camcorder was invented?
Maybe there should have been an angel with a drawing pad, like those courtroom sketch artists.
Hmm, even if “David repented. God forgave his sin and allowed him to live,” wouldn’t Dave be doomed because he didn’t accept Jesus as his personal lord and savior?
Gosh, not only did he commit adultery, but he was born 1100 years too early.
