[edit] This Was Your Life

Unsurprisingly perhaps, the Japanese adaptation of TWYL is staggeringly better from an artistic standpoint than the others or the original. [1] --XL7-Z 17:05, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Perchance a commentary on the Jackson "wardrobe malfunction"? --XL7-Z 13:50, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Apocalyptic Tracts

  • The Beast [2]
  • The Last Generation [3]

These warrant mention, particularly the utterly gonzo Last Generation. --XL7-Z 00:42, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Be bold in editing! Go for it! (Wow. Last Generation is even more over the top than I remembered.) Chip Unicorn 16:46, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Interesting case of bowlderism in the German version of TLG—
Apparantly even Chick has his limits.
(and just what was the issue with the name "Bobby"?) --XL7-Z 14:43, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I just expanded the article with short synopses of several more tracts. But maybe some of these should get their own sections? Some of them are quite notorious - Angels? and The Sissy? for example. Angels? came out around the same time as Dark Dungeons and both of them were spoofed in an insert that came with one of Jello Biafra's albums. I think I just ruined my keyboard looking at The Mad Machine for the first time in years --that Chick drawing of doped-out psychiatric patients is a riot. Another thing I never noticed until now: The Sissy? is full of homoerotic overtones and that young driver who hangs around with Duke clearly has a gay crush on Duke. Jack Chick wasn't born yesterday and I can't help but think he deliberately put a lot of things in his tracts that he knew his born-again audience wouldn't catch but hipsters would. Just my take. I'm looking at more of his tracts and The Sissy? isn't the only one with homoerotic overtones. Did Jack Carter draw them or did Chick? Anyway, somebody feel free to expand on what I added and give them their own sections if you think they deserve them. I noticed The Death Cookie has its own article. should it be merged here? 70.108.86.207 03:37, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Whatever happened to the article "Criticism of Chick Publications"?
