Jack Chick: Why Should I?
« on: May 19, 2012, 10:21:44 am »
http://chick.com/reading/tracts/1079/1079_01.asp

A solid but unremarkable effort this month. Another one of his stock plots, where the main character - here, a massive-eared freak of indeterminate age - is blissfully ignorant of his culture's religious background ("Soul? What's a soul?") before being preached to by a fundie, and is suddenly converted despite his initial hostility.

My favourite part:



You're given the opportunity to depict Christ descending majestically from the heavens, and you draw... a cloud with an arrow pointing at it? Really, Jack?

One of the last pics made me guffaw.



The pope with 666 on his hat is a hilarious touch because the hate is so blatant.

@ Kefka:  To be fair, Ghandi was an unabashed racist.

I think the guy on the end may be meant to be a priest.  A Catholic priest, of course. :P

I see Chick has got his stereotypical eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil Jews in there as well.

That said, I've stopped trying to anticipate what people around here want a while ago, I've found it makes things smoother.

Jack's gone completely off his rocker here. Your soul can think, speak, hear, get thirsty and remember? Any Biblical support for that Mr. Chick? Sounds a bit Animist to me....

I thought he looked kinda like Ikkaku.

Damn it, Jack! If you’re gonna start in media res, at least include Fang on panel one! I mean, then at least I might continue reading a little longer ’cause Fang hilarious. But here, you just lure me in with that title, ”Why Should I?” and I am thinking “Why should I what?” But then you start out right after that bit of context. And now I am lost and completely uninterested. Because it looks like my primary interest in even putting up with your little scribble looks like it will go unheeded.

And then right away you start throwing around your traditional strawmen  with such reckless abandon that it dwarfs your mountain of previously discarded offerings on the Strawman Pyre of Faulty Logic, which, given your history, is saying a fucking lot!

So what do you get. A guy who used to find your stuff mildly entertaining. At least when paired with the dissections at Enter the Jabberwock. Now I can’t even get past panel freakin’ four.
