Chick tracts - for GDID
Jan 22 2008 14:47
GDID hadn't heard of Jack Chick and his tracts. Properly mental and really offensive but absurdly comical cartoon bible tracts. I'm not even close to reading all of them but they're great for passing an afternoon in work.
I first came across them 4yrs ago in the other library I worked when shelving evolution books and every one in the section had the "Big Daddy" anti-evolution tract in it.
I love this shit
Ones I'd recommend:
Big Daddy - evolution is wrong
The Angels - they were a christian rock band who got more than they bargained for, including AIDS
Catholics aren't christians
Gayness is teh wrong - oh and it has the fantastic justification of giving your daughters up for gang-rape (Lot's story)
Sin City
Doom Town - This one's even more mental
Actually, it's all reactionary as fuck so if the admins want to break the links I'm happy for them to do it.

Wow. I came into the WSM office to actually do some work for once, but now this!

Fuck the WSM - mental christian tracts are waaayyyy more important!
Serious. Even though Chick is real - part of me still suspects there's a comic genius sitting in an office writing these while pissing themselves silly.
Wikipedia -
Jack Thomas Chick (born April 13, 1924) of Chick Publications is an American comic book artist and publisher. Chick is known for his controversial comic-style tracts, known as Chick Tracts, as well as for larger comic books for the purpose of Protestant evangelism from a fundamentalist point of view. Chick is an Independent Baptist, a premillennial dispensationalist, and a follower of the King-James-Only Movement. He opposes abortion,[1], Harry Potter, rock music,[2], Roman Catholicism,[3] Islam,[4] Judaism,[5] homosexuality,[6] Mormonism,[7] Jehovah's Witnesses,[8] evolutionary science,[9] and Freemasonry.[10]

There was a film based on some of Chicks tracts that came out a couple of years ago. I used to collect these things years ago, he also did a proper comic series in the late 70's/early 80's. It was about a pair of crusading christians traveling around the states. NOt as funny as the tracts but still a bit of a giggle.

Probably my favourite caption.
Either that or one of the Lot ones where it says "bring out those men so that we may know them (sexually)"

It's the "(sexually)" that does it

It's trying to imagine him saying it in brackets that does it. does he whisper that part or what?

I think he covers his mouth, dips his head to one side, and mumbles it.

he might mouth it. or just mime the action of anal sex. puts his hands infront of his crotch and thrusts a few times. that's how i'd do it anyway, for sure.

Or he might do the universal sign language for anal sex.
Make a fist with one hand then try and force your index finger on opposite hand into clenched fist.

For real. I fucking love creationism. I think there's something wrong with me. I'm even trying to swing a press-pass for Answer in Genesis' upcoming visit to Belfast, and I go to creationist talks here "for research"
I saw Answers in Genesis' Paul Taylor here a few months ago and the logic they used was flawless. i shall demonstrate.
"Dinosaurs existed at the same time as humans - how do we know?
Because the Bible says "on the 6th day, God created land-anaimals and man
Dinosaurs are land-animals
Therefore
They existed at the same time as man"
See!

I liked the bit in asterixes saying that in 1841 "dragons" was changed to "dinosaurs"
Also - "God should know, he was there" and finally
"The religious world went ballistic. "

I also like the way that after it's done talking about dinosaurs, it keeps going back to the same point again and again which has absolutely nothing to do with dinosaurs (and then says 'so don't ask us it's not important' basically).
also this bit is great
what, god's THAT shit that he couldn't just give animals a little bit of oxygen? "oooh no god doesn't interfere" WELL HE FUCKING FLOODED THE PLACE. the least he could do is give them a bit of insurance. or what, is this some sort of hurrican katrina clause where your life's not covered by flood damage?
