...that blazing beacon of bigotry, paranoia and the purest insanity I have ever known, has finally gone to meet his faceless and weirdly muscular God.
Upon learning of this, one of my friends called him "The Stan Lee of intolerance."
Post your favorites!

On another board I frequent the "Lisa" one was brought up.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
We used to have an old guy that would leave about 100 tucked into books at the library every time he showed up. If we spotted him in time someone would follow along behind and pull them back out. Even when the head librarian told him to knock it off, he would sit on the floor and wait to be arrested, so we had to ignore him for an hour. I don't think they ever did have him arrested and he's probably still doing it.

Yeah, leaving out the light-year leap from porn to pedo-incest, that one has a particularly problematic "happy" ending.

Ever heard of The Navigators? I was a grade schooler who tagged along to his dad's job at a college in a rural town every day during the summer. Basically dad dropped me at the gate and I ran off to amuse myself on campus for the rest of the day. A Navigator gave me a copy of Lisa, and I can honestly say that it made me distrust Christians in a big way.

Those fucking religious tracts sure put me on edge when I was an impressionable 10 years old. A boy scout / baptist sunday school pal of mine dropped them on me, they're pure evil and I'll never forgive him for sharing these horrible comics that convinced me I was on the highway to hell. Would you believe we are still friends?
I recently came across this curious study of Jack Chick - http://danielraeburn.com/The_Imp,_by_Da … mp_JTC.pdf - an interesting review of his motivations, biases, patrons and gimmicks. Daniel Clowes did the cover art, some of you might know him as the clown prince of self-loathing comic artists.

Great article, thanks.
"Every Chick tract is a proven soul winner".... Indeed.
It's kind of ironic but his drawing style has always reminded me of G. Sheldon or Crumb. His stereotypes are inspired, especially the harlots and fags. As long as you don't read any of the words, the art was fresh, the lines were strong and dynamic and the style was all his own. Everything else was just Goofus and Galant grade schlock.
But I'll bet even the back of his underwear drawer wouldn't stand the scrutiny of others. There was just too much energy in his drawings for me to believe that all of his demons were internal.
