The unmitigated awesome of the Chick Tract.
 

I love these things so much. I collect them whenever I can.

Because they're notoriously touchy about it, I won't include any scans of "copyrighted" work or go into religious implications. I'll link you to a site of everything he ever wrote and it'll all speak for itself.

Every Chick Tract Ever.


Today I got 5 new ones, including "Love the Jewish People" (it said England is going to hell because they mistreated Jews :confused:), "The Slugger" (He wins the world series, is told by his gardener he's going to hell, gets shoulder cancer :confused: and dies, then his greedy family finds out he left everything to the gardener), and "Little Shoes", where a drunk Latino guy gambles away the money for his son's shoes. The son cuts his foot and dies of pneumonia :confused:.

The art is great, but it's the melodramatic telenovela plots that really get me.

Shoulder cancer?

i think i watched a documentary on this subject.

actually i take that back. i know i watched a documentary on this subject.

DON'T GET ADDICTED, YOU MIGHT DEVELOP CHICK TRACT MARKS.

OHO

Oh man, do I ever love these things. They're like mutant brother of the Underground Comix movement that the comic book family keeps chained up in the shed. I always wanted to buy the complete collection of them, but I realized that half the fun of them is finding them at creepy independent shops or laying on the sidewalk along with a bloody condom and an opened popper.

LOVE ME

My favorite was the Father and son, going to the Middle East, when Dad explains the Arabs pray to the "moon god" - an Arab overhears and calls Dad out "You infidel, you will burn in the recesses of hell for all eternity" - long story short, Dad convinces Arab to convert to Christianity, the ONE TRUE RELIGION.

Maybe Jack should visit Mullah Omar or al-Zwahiri. HE IS JUST THAT GOOD!

Kitsa, you're scaring me. :chatter

my face has that effect on most people :(

"the fuck do we get out of this place?"

WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE

IF IT'S THE LAST THING WE EVER DO

WE GOTTA GET OUT OF THIS PLACE

GIRL, THERE'S A BETTER LIFE





FOR ME AN YOU

Just use the back door :rolleyes

THEY ALREADY TRIED THAT AND IT JUST GAVE THEM AIDS

Is this some sort of Utah thing?
I'm honestly surprised I haven't found any of these yet. These seem like the perfect Austin export; both stupid art AND zealously religious

let me guess--he reads them and finds the lord

They are definitely anti-Mormon:

The Visitors

It's about $15 to buy every one in print, but I've come to the same conclusion. I always do well at fairs (fair season coming up!). Every once in a while, there will be a stack of them on the toilet paper dispenser in a public restroom or something, but I generally won't touch those. Icky.

I found these at a Christian petting zoo. I was so excited when I saw the giant rack of them.

i actually thought this was gonna be about a tin toy :(

These legitimately upset me. If these things turn out to be made by bored religious radicals trying to troll a few shmucks, it's workin' on me.

The only one I've ever owned was "This Was Your Life"

The WTFbus museum has made an important new acquisition, and you'll see it shortly.

I'm waiting in breathless antcipation. :hypno

dark dungeons is the best one

"you are now a level 9 rogue, it's about time you learn REAL MAGIC"
