New Chick Tract: "The Star"

Since the board seems to like these things, here’s Jack Chick’s latest, The Star. A celebrity is dying…he’ll die twice! The thing I don’t understand is that the celebrity mentions the Pope and a Cardinal. Seeing as the hospital worker never said anything about the Catholic Church being invented by Satan as an attempt to fool Christians, isn’t this guy going to remain a Catholic and go to Hell anyway?

Also, Classic Chick Tracts, now with black people!

Love it! “Are you coming back?” “I have to clean the toilet.”
She doesn’t mind offending a patient, but can’t take a chance she’ll get fired for not cleaning the toilets quickly enough.
Felt cheated we didn’t see the car crash; but only sinners get the gory treatment.

Oh please. Her ass would SO be fired for that shit.

Now with black people. Yah, but its a cleaning person. Still a ways to go (movin on up)

I’m not referring to The Star. I’m referring to It’s Your Life! and Hard Times, which are new remakes of This Was Your Life and Somebody Loves Me with blacks instead of whites.

I like the Geraldo 'stache on the movie star. What decade does Chick think this is?

Judging from the rest of his ouevre, I’d say he thinks it’s about the sixties.

The Eight sixties.
BCE.

If anachronism works for Johnny Hart, why not?

My Death Pool dream come true!

As always, I find the stupefying literalness of these Chick tracts to be fascinating. Judgment Day isn’t just a metaphor, it’s your life on a plasma screen with a battery of angelic prosecutors and the Big Guy pronouning sentence. You gotta love it!

What about the Hispanics and Asians? Or the Indians? Is heaven segregated?

I guess the fear-based ministry crosses (no pun intended) racial and cultural lines … how heart warming.

The black people in “Hard Times” look like characatures. I’m not even black and and I’m offended by them.

I’m suprised nobody noticed the “420” reference. I always knew old man Chick was a stoner, has to be! :wink:

420?

More like Douglas Fairbanks, I think. Say '20’s.

Maybe it’s a Canadian thing. I don’t get out of the country much, but I think I heard some 420 mentions on American TV…

Anyway 420 is code for marijuana. People actually celebrate April 20th here (4/20 get it?). Usually they do this by smoking reefer at 4:20pm.

As an aside, I remember watching an episode of “Price Is Right” where a young man is called up and when asked how miuch he’d bid on the item on the stage he said something like “I’ve been waiting my whole life for this Bob, I bid $420!” :stuck_out_tongue:

What’s the deal with the life movie? “Everybody will get to see it?” So everybody in heaven gets to watch the life movies of everybody else in Heaven and express their opinions before the big J weighs in? Yeesh, that’ll take a while.

Then again, in Chick’s view there are only about 40 people good enough to get into Heaven, anyway.

Just in case anyone asks, Jotun.

I like how in every Chick tract people are so willing to just believe another person’s theology and abandon their own beliefs. If this guy had a Haitian nurse, he would have been practicing Voodoo when he died.

I love how they never heard of Jesus before. I can just picture a Spanish person say “HEY-ZEUS? Yeah, I know him. He lives on the next block.”

As Chick goes it’s very mild. I hear worse than that at work each week.

Do actors really raise their fees for nude scenes or sex scenes, anyway? $22 million, plus an extra $3 million for taking their clothes off?
