Panel 12 B (counting the cover, as per convention): Hey! Guess what?! Scientists aren’t really total atheists after all. At least, not all of them. “Mother Earth” isn’t a metaphor. Gaia and Ixchel are worship-objects for some of them. They have picked the wrong set of fairy tales, not Jack’s, so BURN IN HELL, bitches!
Oh, and two pages up, panel 10B, OF COURSE the imbecile we love to hate has to bring up huge snowstorms. How original, you drooling mouth-breather!
One last thing: Panels 4A to 6B: Once again, Sickie Chickie trots out the old chestnut about the “evil” RCC making up an end of the world scenario to manipulate struggling peasants so as to make them even more destitute.
It all makes me more than a little bit sick, but at the same time, it’s a veritable feast for reality-defenders. There’s way to much to comment on, so… back to you, folks!
(and I also love comic strip style religious tracts in general. Jack Chick is okay, but nothing will ever beat the pamphlets from the Children of God back in the '70s. Prostitutes for Jesus. They even had a song, wholly holy holes. Yikes.)
Jack needs to stop getting his ideas about medieval monasteries (and his illustrations) from The Name of the Rose.
And I love the Al Gore “Who Needs You?” finger-pointing.
You gotta love the “England still exists - ask any Muslim” line. And Paul Ehrlich is always good for a chuckle, too, for many of the same reasons as Jackie.
I would have thought global warming was right up the Chickster’s alley - worldwide apocalypse caused by human greed and selfishness.
But thanks for posting this - nothing like a Chick tract to brighten up a weekend.
I actually found a real Chick Tract on the windshield of my car some months back, upon returning from a walk on Crane Beach in Massachusetts. Rather an odd place to be CTracted, I thought, especially since it was a winter beach walk.
Awesome return to form after some lackluster efforts. I’m surprised he hasn’t tackled global warming before. I liked the hunchback in the room of brilliant scientists. Also, Ixchel? i can figure out where he got Gaia from, but Ixchel?
Yay, another sterling example of “conservative eco-mysticism” for mycollection!
So, human activity is capable of creating or significantly contributing to acid rain and dust bowls and ozone layer thinning and species extinctions and smog and maritime dead zones, but it is somehow magically incapable of affecting the composition of the atmosphere. Fascinating.
Oh, Hell no, that would leave him unfazed. Worldwide apocalypse comes only from all those people who at this point of the game have no idea who Jesus is believing in Evolution. And being Catholic. And Gay. Gay Catholic Rock-n-Roll-listenting D&D-playing Evolutionary Scientists who have never heard of Jesus or of sin! That’s what brings the apocalypse and even if that’s the most generous unselfish soul to have ever lived, faceless giant Jesus will still stomp him.
Well, I guess someone at Chick studios must have taken a holiday trip to Guatemala lately.
