There is also the song by Alice Donut called "Lisa's Father", about a Chick track. They used to play this on the college radio station years ago.

“Martyrdom is now the price of salvation.”

And apparently salvation is being allowed to shop at a grocery store. True salvation means you get to buy chocolate.

Jack Chick also hates dentists? Super confused.

I don't know that it would be that confusing if ...

... let's just say I watched a video with some editor-labeled "Karens" in it ... all I'm going to say is if you have enough missing teeth that I'm noticing it while you're berating the cashier or support staff ...

Man, I don't know

I don't want to sound like my own elders but there are a whole bunch of things going on in the world right now that literally make no logical sense

They may make psychopathological sense but I haven't had time to do that much reading

In that last video, one of the buybull verses mentiona an ''abomination''. I wonder how many future MAGAts turned that into an ''Obama Nation'' in their vacant, but cruel, minds.

It was a frequent "joke" on the right at the time.

back in the days when every third stoop of brownstones in Park Slope, Brooklyn had a box of books with "take some" Sharpied on them, I came across and grabbed right up one that not only had TWO of EVERY Chick pamphlet, but also the complete run of his full-sized comic books - with multi-issue series on such delights as how the Roman Catholic Church (aka"The Whore Of Babylon"" created Islam as part of its conspiracy to destroy Protestantism (pretty foresightful, if you think about it, getting on that wagon some eight centuries ahead of time - Chick never accused The Vatican of being stupid or clueless) .

To date, these AMAZING works of that particular genre hold a treasured place on my my bookshelf.

I first encountered Chick's pamphlets in Memphis, TN in the late 70's - when every public telephone's shelf seemed to have a new one every week.

Some years later, in Brooklyn, when every third stoop of the brownstones in Park Slope had a box of books with "take some" Sharpied on them, I came across and immediately grabbed right up one box that not only had TWO of EVERY Chick pamphlet, but also the complete run of his full-sized comic books - with multi-issue series on such delightful exposes such as the one on how the Roman Catholic Church (aka"The Whore Of Babylon") created Islam as part of its conspiracy to destroy Protestantism (pretty foresightful, if you think about it, getting on that wagon some eight centuries ahead of time - but, then, Chick never accused The Vatican of being stupid or clueless) .

To date, these AMAZING works of that particular genre hold a treasured place on my bookshelf. (Wouldn't they on yours?)

They would be on my bookshelf right between my "Dictionary of Satanism" and "100 Ways to Cook Babies" ('cause eating them raw is not healthy).

They do! 😁 Where's our Jack Chick snark convention?

I remember a Christian propaganda film shown after my moderate southern Baptist church was taken over by the evangelicals. The mark of the debil was a barcode on your forehead. Why they didn’t do the inside of the wrist or on an ankle I have no idea, but there you have it. Not how or why they got these marks.

There was also a scene showing torture of the children who were persecuted because they wanted to dedicate their lives to Jeebus by stabbing sharp sticks into their ears. I was probably 13 when they showed it to the kids in Sunday School, some much younger than me.

It was terrifying and brutal and did what it was designed to do. Scare the shit out of kids to make them Christians.

And these RWNJ Christofascists are threatened by a book in the library and claim that librarians are grooming kids. Go figure their pretzel logic there.

" The mark of the debil was a barcode on your forehead."

These people have been watching either too many Timothy Olyphant movies or not enough; I haven't figured out which

I remember that there were some of the looneyist who actually said tha barcodes were invented intentionally by SATAN, and that people should not go to stores that uses them!

I'll bet that now most of them have died ouy, probabaly cause they would be unable to buy food.

Rereading Jack Chick's comics reminds me of the "Rock Devil Rock" CHiPs episode featuring the band Murdoch created for the show. Hilarious!

The only people I"m aware of having a giant portable guillotine were the MAGAts on Jan. 6.

I thought they just had a noose. And blunt instruments, including their brains.

You're right. A guillotine is too damn French for them.

I don't know, I always thought their song "We're gonna Roll Roll Roll Roll with the ROLL" was better than "We're gonna Rock Rock Rock Rock with the ROCK."

I liked the one featuring Satan at the head of a HUGE table as a CEO type. Of course he is the best looking one in the room, quite nattily attired, in complete control with everyone calling him "Master" His "minions" all are kind of ugly with crooked teeth, and wearing ratty looking robes. I imagine this is how Trump envisions himself at a Cabinet meeting.

Satan's apparently a superhero, as he has a big skull on his back. I'm not sure if it was on a robe, coat or cape, though.

Been seeing those weird little tracts for years, but never knew the artist's name. Until now. Is he the same guy who started Chick-Fil-A?

Expand full comment

No, that was S. Truett Cathy (not making that up) and while dead since 2014, he actualy statred the busines in 1946!

''Cathy began the Chick-fil-A restaurant chain in the Atlanta suburb of Hapeville in 1946 with a restaurant called the Dwarf Grill for its size. It was there that he, with his brother and business partner Ben, created the chicken sandwich that later became the signature menu item for Chick-fil-A. From 1964 to 1967, the sandwich was licensed to over fifty eateries, including Waffle House and the concession stands of the new Houston Astrodome.[4] The Chick-Fil-A sandwich was withdrawn from sale at other restaurants when the first standalone location opened in 1967, in the food court of the Greenbriar Mall in Atlanta. He married Jeannette McNeil, and they had three children: Trudy, Don "Bubba", and Dan...

He taught Sunday school to teenagers at the First Baptist Church of Jonesboro, Georgia, for over 50 years.

He said that the Bible is his guidebook for life. Due to his strong religious beliefs, all of the company's locations, whether company-owned or franchised, are closed on Sundays to allow its employees to attend church and spend time with their families. This policy began when Cathy was working six days a week, multiple shifts. He decided to close on Sundays.

That was Ashley Biden, wasn't it. I KNEW the one who hangs out with Joe was a body double.

They're all body doubles. We know that the real Joe Biden is residing in a nursing home, eating tapioca with not the slightest notion of who he is or where he's at.
