Well, here we are again…
Happy New Year, everyone! As I type, Justin Trudeau has stepped down and the election of Donald Trump has been certified. I watched them both live. They were boring. A massive snowball fight has erupted in DC on the anniversary of the fedsurrection.
It is a time of signs and wonders.
I’m sorry to have done so much Jack Chick to you. I needed something easy to queue up in advance. It’s the first time in the eighteen years(!) of this blog that I’ve taken a solid chunk of time away. Off work, too. I feel positively reset.
We’ve had a lovely two weeks and hope you did too, Jack Chick not withstanding. I shall now go and read the posts from everyone I didn’t scare away.
p.s. I know! I know! Jimmy Carter at last!

Last one
This one is unremarkable, except everyone in it was black. There was a black Adam and Eve and a black angel and I had all kinds of hopes, but no – it was the same old Anglo Jesus.
That’s it!

Tee-hee!
One of many on the topic of homosexuality. They’re all about what you’d expect, but I thought the art for this one was funny. It’s got Chick’s copyright on it, but no way is this his work.

Name this band
Gates, Schwab, Soros and the Swedish Doom Goblin. Lookit Chick getting all 21st Century! The illustrator is the dude who likes to draw cats. He does a pretty good job with these four, not so great with the little girl who had to listen to her daddy explain Revelations to her.
Chick himself (I think) did a very passable Al Gore in a pamphlet on global warming that is honestly based.
Happy new year!

I think this dude just likes to draw cats
This is Chick’s most recent. It’s a sweet, pointless story about a cat named Jenny, then it switches to a totally different illustrator for the last eight pages (old Jack Chick art, I think) and a YOU DON’T WANT TO GO TO HELL, DO YOU? message.

Lady, what have you got on your head?!
Party Girl. I think from the context this is supposed to be Mardi Gras. This one is noteworthy for the especially awful art.

Brrrr…
This Was Your Life was by far the most circulated Chick tract of all. They were everywhere. This one was personal; it led to the terrifying certainty that some day, everyone who ever lived would watch me poop.
The original Chick artwork was appalling. This was a later edition intended to reach English-speaking Asian immigrants (their description).

It’s a novel theory
If you don’t get the implications of “slower and easier to catch” his position is that people killed and ate the dinosaurs, in what looks like Medieval times. This is a fun one.

Mary looks properly horrified
I’ve come to think of this artist as Shading Guy. He did this one and many other bible stories ones. He’s a definite cut above the usual Chick artist.
Merry Christmas!

How did they know I’m a serial killer?
One thing I was not expecting to see on my chocolate cake was a little plastic axe. “Weasel,” Uncle B says, “it’s a Yule log. Get it?”
Huh.
That’s it! I’m off! I’m done! I’ve queued up a whole holiday’s worth of posts, but nobody better die because I’m not Dead Pooling for a couple weeks.
Merry Christmas! See you on the other side!
