WAke Up, L'il Susy (is here). Chick's newest for your pleasure!

I have to give the tract a D minus. With the exception of the one girl getting all demonic about how the other girl’s dad “messed up, big time” with God, there really isn’t anything that insane. It’s still insufferable glurge, to be sure, but there’s no gay bashing, no "RCC = the “Whore of Babylon.” No Muslim baiting, no wildly uninformed creationism, nothing about Satan’s influence on pop culture.

Very disappointing, I must say, and I so look forward to these things. Hopefully it’s just a slump and the next tract will be a good old fashioned zealot-fest.

We need Bob back.

*Did anyone else get a creepy feeling about “Grandpa,” even though he wasn’t in the tract? There’s something about a guy would brainwash an innocent kid to such a degree.

Guin:

H4E is still here, she just changed her user name to Lynn73. She’s been posting a lot in GD religion threads. She’s been slightly more restrained but she hasn’t changed much.

At least she’s stopped posting links to anti-LDS/RCC websites.

23

Ah, so it wasn’t just me.

Should’ve paid more attention to the OP. :smack:

24

I missed the “Haw haw haw”, but pretty good art. The pigtail girl seems to have come off the side of something in the doll isle at ToysRUs though.

I was thinking Chucky myself. :stuck_out_tongue:

25

Jesus is Frampton?

26

Count me in with those who think this just isn’t down to his usual standards. This is obviously a new artist. I even give him or her points for the interesting choice of perspective in panel 9, though inexplicably, he or she has made a pig’s breakfast of the shadows.

Overall, fairly unremarkable as religious tracts go. Chick didn’t get to be the Ed Wood of religious cartooning with material like this. I’ve seen more risible/objectionable stuff in The Family Circus. Though, come to think of it, that might not be saying much.

P.S. I miss the dog.

27

Hell, look at panel 36! “What?..Tell me…tell me…!”

28

Yeah, actually this is a straightforward witnessing tract for ol’ Jack. I’m surprised. I wouldn’t be offended if someone handed this to me at the grocery store.

Could the guy be gaining some marketing skills as he matures?

29

Eh, I’m aware of that, but I haven’t really seen her that much. I think she’s been duly chastised. Or at least, she knows to leave well enough alone.

Little girls usually like being “sisters” with their friends. I know I did when I was little.

30

It looks almost like the eyes were trying to be anime-like without looking like actual anime girls. Maybe ol Jack thinks all anime is tentacle porn or something.

31

I so wanted to see the errant father cast into Hell with a HAW HAW HAW!! It’s so incomplete without that.

Not too bad for Chick, but gotta love the total, embryo-like ignorance of religion that the converts all exhibit. It’s like Jim Kirk and a new alien beauty–“James Kirk, what means this word ‘kiss’”?
People in these tracts are all like, “Je-zus? Never heard of 'im!”

32

No, but Clapton is God.

Tripler
I’m gonna have anime-related nightmares tonight. Hold me.

33

I just like that, according to the tract, the Romans pulled off Christ’s beard. Somehow, my brain read that as them having pulled off his Beard, and effectively outing him. A Gay Chick Tract Christ would be funny.

34

I found something to be offended by! When Cathy asks Susy, “Are your folks divorced like mine?”, Susy answers, “No, [Susy’s mom] loved me!” Because of course no divorced parents love their kids! If parents love their kids, they stay married, right?

In some panels, the flower on Susy’s t-shirt looks like a pot leaf.

35

Excuse me? Just one question…

How many children does God want exactly? I mean how many is enough>?

I hear we’re all Gods children, then apparently we’re not, and now I hear God gets inside kids, only that kid is not God but he’s in there? What the hell is he doing? Taking a vacation?

Anyone else confused yet?

The bestest, fabbest part to this? Is this little quote:

Well, this is quite a family affair now isn’t it? So Jesus is this dude that God infects, but he’s not God, he’s the son of God although God never sired him, well ok he sort of did because he wanted a son and so he took this woman and told her she was pregnant and so she was, not that God was in the mood to ask mind you, he just said: Hey you, you’re pregnant right? And she says yeah, ok. So then she’s pregnant. THEN, God says that kid is mine, but it’s me too, because I put myself into making him, so it’s me, but not me, and so we’re all ok with that.

So then this kid prays to God and loves him and so God gets into her, and then Jesus who is also God but not God, becomes her lord, and angels all get in on the action with little Susy, because she’s a game little chick, and if you’ve not gotten into little Susy, you’re missing out on something?

And this is all ok? shakes head now I know why I have cats.

Logic.

36

I wouldn’t pit my scanty religious knowledge against that of an ultimate Bible type like Chick, but:

“Jesus did something no one had ever done before… He came alive!”

Didn’t Lazarus do that? And before Jesus?

37

Does this make Peter Frampton the second coming?

What, nobody told you?

Hey, eli, you know, the beginning of that tract reminded me of my father’s funeral. Before the service, we were meeting with the minister, and he commented that he was going to be reading Dad’s favorite bible verse. I’d known my father 27 years; I’d NEVER known him to have anything to do with religion. The priest said he was reading John 3:16. I can only rationalize that by figuring that Dad only knew that one from sporting events.

And we were told that they were going to play Dad’s favorite hymn. Of which NONE of his three children knew that he even HAD one. They played “Amazing Grace.” Again, I think it was just the only one Dad knew.

40

I was kinda surprised too, I mean I fully expected one of the girls to go to hell in the end.
I was just waiting for the panel where one of the girl says something like “But how can God be my daddy” and promptly goes to burninate in heck.
But noo, not even the Jesus without a face.
Bah, God owes me five minutes now.
