[Merged] Chick Tracts - Page 6

The story here is interesting as well. I find very little to be objectionable here; even as a liberal agnostic I recognize that belief in God (or a god, or gods) can have a transformative effect on one's psyche and emotions. Here the walking hairy terror known as "Bad Bob" finds Jesus after a harrowing near-death experience, and evidently changes his ways for the better. This is not a bad thing.

Taken in and of itself, irrespective of Chick's numerous other profoundly absurd morality tales, I find that this one has a ring of truth even in the midst of its corny, hamfisted melodrama.

Jack Chick isn't all bad. His story abot a christian rescuing a Muslim after the muslim was beaten nearly to death showed a humane side to this quirky individual. My main objection to this man is his depictions of humans on fire for what I perceive to be minor faults. Religion is a hard pill to swallow especially when so much scientific evidence points in the opposite direction.

Still this man has a talent. Despite the fact that I disagree with most of what he says I find his ability to illustrate his ideas and get his tracts distributed is an accomplishment that I personally cannot do.

Vortigern99 · 21st September 2010, 09:19 AM

As I've asserted elsewhere, Chick himself does not draw the tracts himself. He has hired an extremely talented professional to illustrate them. The early tracts were crude and poorly drawn, and there are others done in a cartoony style that does not match the expert realism of the "Bad Bob" and "Dark Dungeon" strips.

Just sayin'.

Cainkane1 · 21st September 2010, 09:36 AM

Whoever did Doom Town was an artist for sure.

phatred · 21st September 2010, 10:08 AM

"Whether you know it or not, we all deserve to burn in hell." How can christians pass these out with a smile on their face? I also thought "Bob, god gave you a second chance" part was funny seeing as it was the jailor that let him out, maybe he thought he was god?

How familiar are you with these tracts? They to me are an open window into the mind of a fanatic who enjoys envisioning people in hell. He has several illustrations that show that very thing on in Doom Town which shows people with fire all over them.

How do you know he enjoys envisioning people in hell? Maybe because he doesn't enjoy envisioning people in hell he feels compelled to do these tracts? But then again - maybe not.

How would we know what he thinks?

Has Jack Chick ever done any interviews that anyone knows of?

For all we know he might be some sort of opportunistic athiest laughing all the way to the bank as he gets Christians to buy his little comic books and have them do free marketing for him....

He's been around too long for that. He would have been exposed by now if he wasn't a member of his own sect of christianity. Like I said in another post except where a kid is running into Jesuses arms we never see Heaven but we see hell all the time.

I don't dispute many Christians have a fascination with hell (or the end times for that matter).

But - does anyone know where Jack Chick even goes to church?

For being such a popular person he seems to be pretty good at secrecy.

Maybe he's an independent.

read his Wiki page. Not a whole lot there. But there is a good picture of him.

I think it's funny that Chick condemns Mohammed for having concubines and slaves. None of that stuff ever happened in Jerusalem, of course....

He's like a mix from a Jame Bond's Villain and the Godfather.. if my grandpa look like that I'd better behave around him!

He plucked out his eye because it offended him.

Either that or he felt guilty for passing along bad genes to Lil' Susy Bugeyes there.

I like the Muslim mom suggesting she and her kids had something pretty final to do at the airport. Yeah, that wasn't an accident. Chick slips crap like that in there occasionally. It's hard to make your own hate-filled propaganda even nastier, but he manages to surpass himself from time to time.

I missed that.
I did wonder why they had to leave when they so were close to getting a couple of converts.

Tim Harrod · 27th September 2010, 02:01 PM

The last time we see the Muslim kids is when their mother says "Amir! Safiya! We're leaving for the airport... RIGHT NOW."

Stay classy, Jack.

D'oh. TragicMonkey beat me there.

CurtC · 27th September 2010, 02:43 PM

So you're saying that Chick intended the airport reference to be about terrorism?

ETA: Is Susie wearing two coon skin hats?!?

Soapy Sam · 27th September 2010, 02:55 PM

What if Iran issues a Fatwa and the ACLU has to hide Jack and give him a new identity?
Maybe he could reincarnate as C.M.Schultz (II) and start drawing race-hate strips with a beagle?

I completely didn't even notice that at all. I was too distracted by the crazy hair of the preaching guy. Is he a famous composer or something? Who has hair like that? Oh well, at least it wasn't an eyepatch like Lil' Suzy's grandpa.
