He was 92.
I particularly like this riff:
While at Ms. Frost's house, fighting 'the Zombie,' Debbie gets a call from Marcie. She asks Ms. Frost to tell Marcie that she will see her later that night.
TRUTH: There is more than one zombie in Dungeons & Dragons. By capitalizing the word "zombie" and using it as a singular, Chick openly flaunts his monozombistic worldview - one that is flawed and phony. To suggest that D&D is not polyzombistic is to deny the truth as it is plainly spelled out for us in the Monster Manual.
I might suggest that Chick's tracts were dishonest, narrow-minded propaganda (albeit decently drawn), but I'd hate to be consigned to eternal fire by his fans.
It won't be his fans making that decision.
That is a great relief. Thank you.
Yes, well if someone is an @sshole . . .
Mr. Chick will be in heaven. He was a believer. He is under grace.
“As long as you know Chick was extremely anti Catholic.”
As long as you know Chick was extremely anti Everybody
Inventor of Chickets, started Chick Fil A, invented the term Chick when referring to cute young women and the term Chick when referring to baby Chickens.
He was one smart cookie.
Has John Groovy dies yet?
I have long suspected he didn’t have that much input. The tracts sometimes contradicted each other. I often wondered if they were an outsourcing firm.
You must not be a Christan? Jesus Christ offers salvation to those who believe the truth!
One less anti-Catholic bigot in the world tonight.
I will never understand people who claim to love Jesus but who show open contempt for His Body.
“Hey, they were just concerned about your falling for Satans greatest work of deception (along with Islam)”
Jack Chick thought the Catholic Church was worse than Islam, because Catholics created Islam. I guess the folks who drop these tracts agree, why else would they stick it on windshields in Catholic church parking lots?
“I escaped the Catholic cult. I know.”
Obviously one of the few who somehow managed to elude the vengeful Jesuit assassins.

How do the tracts contradict each other? The ones I have seen seem pretty consistent to me. Nutty in more than a few places, but consistent.

As someone said many years ago,
“If you go to Heaven, there you will find Popes, Priests and Kings.
If you go to Hell, there you will find Popes, Priests and Kings.”
I once talked to the folks that were sticking the tracts under wipers. They were very nice. They said they were independent Baptists when I asked them, if I recall.

It sometimes takes more than overnight for Christians to really understand something beyond externals, and that goes for all over Christendom (the bible says so).
Tell me more about this free lumber
He even had unkind words for Billy Graham, said he was in collusion with the Pope.
True enough. One’s earthly office isn’t the same as one’s heavenly guarantee. One could be shucking and jiving us and we might find it exceedingly hard to tell, if possible at all this side of glory.
One very auspicious sign is to find oneself falling further and further into the blessing arms of the Lord, and understanding further and further how desperately it is needed, and finding more and more acts of gratitude (in an eternal dimension) coming from the heart. It rises above the world.
What is often confusing is to find a mix of heavenly and worldly viewpoints. This happens because of yet-unresolved sin, but it makes for difficulties in witness. Baptists are known for “once saved always saved” and while this is robustly supportable from a bible viewpoint, it is NOT AT ALL EQUIVALENT to “once saved always a wonderful witness.” To ride new Christians like a horse to get out there and give out the whole nine yards like a Peter or a Paul, leads to an artificial spiel at best.
So what did you disagree with?
