You know what? People who know Jack Chick sound amazingly similar to people who know Jack Shit. Go figure.

oooh, chick tracts! I love these things. I've got tons of them, somewhere.

My daughter loves those things. She's gotten herself on their mailing list. She won't send them money, but they keep sending her tracts...

I tell her that's cheating; a proper tract collection should be captured in the wild, so to speak. *g*

I agree. I only keep the ones I find on the subway or next to payphones. Or get handed to me by those weirdos on the street. :)

Exactly! Just opening an envelop when they send it is way too lazy. Where's the challenge????

Go to the "What's New" page on Chick.com and read the articles on D&D (no, Chick still hasn't given up). They're hilarious!

I love the annotations "D&D Killed these kids"(1). And footnote 1 will attribute it to a Denver paper in 1994, with no further info. Yeah, I'm convinced.

I love the Chick parody that Kurtz of PVP did a while back. It was really fucking funny -- better than some of the stuff he's turning out these days, actually.

I can't read Jack Chick stuff for more than two minutes at a time because I start getting angry. That kind of hate-filled, poisonous garbage is enough to warp minds. Sad, really.

cheers,
Phil

I have the same problem you do -- much as I love to make fun of the cheesiness of the stuff, I know that the books are actually being used by hatemongers, and it makes it harder to appreciate.
