Demented fundamentalist comic-tract impresario Jack Chick, arguably the most widely circulated comic-book artist in history (with 750 million copies of his tracts sold, according to Chick Publications' website), died Sunday at the age of 92 to go to be with his beloved lightbulb-headed God.
I'n not going to wish on him the fate he wished on me, instead I hope that in the last second before he died he fully came to realize there was nothing to come after his death, and he had just long enough to realize what a self righteous asshat he'd been his whole life.
i remember that lameass "somebody goofed" tract from the late 70's. they handed them out at the baptist church i went to as a kid. i liked to read, and loved comic books, so i read lots of them. they were not as funny as archie, or as cool as conan the barbarian, but they were free.
i'm sayin. the only thing the hundreds of hours i spent wandering around in my imagination got me was entertainment. and i had to buy my own D&D books and paraphernalia.
I know, right? And if he actually works for Jesus as the bad half of the cop dichotomy, then Jesus is a real jerk. Isn't it a lot easier to dispense with the whole idea of Hell than it is to embrace the notion of Dickhead Jesus?
I was never so proud to be a Catholic as when I read the list of stuff we did: founded Islam, the Mormons and the JW's, started both World Wars and the Russian Revolution? Day-um! And for just a couple of bucks a week in the collection basket!
Seriously, it's amazing that someone who can attract this much attention and opposition can stay completely off the grid so successfully. No photos, no nothing. Unless "he" was a pseudonym for numerous authors. Even Betty Crocker had a picture.
As horror show host Grimsley once said, "I hope he's where I think he isn't."
It was the pitch for the Duggars.

Christopher Hitchens' obituary for Jerry Falwell seems equally appropriate to Jack Chick given all the shit he churned out during his lifetime .
"If you gave him an enema he could be buried in a matchbox"

I want this t-shirt.
Worth the cash, if you can find someone to play with you. Story of my life, can never find people to play RPGs with me.
I understand Marcie's pain - it's tough to lose a character you really liked. The best thing to do is just start a new one and soldier on.
I've heard of several groups who play virtual games. It's maybe not quite the same but probably still a lot of fun.
That Jack Chick guy was one seriously deluded MF'er.
