I was very excited to see the American Reunion movie. I saw American Pie just after college and remembered it was quite funny.

I like that Chick feels that, in order for these pamphlets to reach as many poor, uneducated slobs as possible, he has to translate certain terms when quoting the Good Book. It's great because it seems that this might make it clear to him how easily "God's Word" might have been twisted around over the years. Or not.
Ahh, yes, Jack Chick tracts. These things piss me off to no end, because they aren't some kind of joke. There's actual people out there who believe this crap. Of course, I'm a Catholic, so what would I know, I worship the devil.
It is with great sadness that we learnt last week of the shocking death of our dear friend Jack T Chick. Jack, who had been a great supporter of SIDES since we sent him a copy of issue 1, and had begun to write us a regular column exposing the works of Satan in these last days passed into his Maker's arms from Ita Nim Mulli asylum last Monday.
It was not until Thursday that the shocking facts behind his death were made known. Jack's long time friend and companion Alberto Rivera broke down and confessed to a hideous plot to rid the world of Jack's scathing attacks on the Catholic Church. Apparently Dr Rivera, who had written many books for Chick publications had all along been playing the role of a double agent, and was in fact still a top Jesuit, answerable directly to the Black Pope in the Vatican. In a cunning ploy to destroy the ministry of Chick, Alberto had dreamed up a plan whereby he would pretend to have seen the light of Christ and "reveal" to Jack the truth behind Catholicism. Top Jesuit brains believed that by having the truth revealed by someone who would be viewed as a religious loony then no-one would ever believe it! Unfortunately their plan backfired and Chick's comic book stories of the horrors cooked up by the Jesuits and Masons had tremendous influence, and led many out of the Catholic Church. Desperate to stop this trend Alberto revealed more and more of the secrets of the Vatican, each more surprising and unbelievable than the previous, hoping that eventually the truth would be too much for people to take. Eventually, with Chick's tracts being directly responsible for thousands leaving Catholicism every week the Black Pope ordered drastic action.
A crack team of Jesuit trained soldiers infiltrated Jack's house late Saturday night and abducted Jack's wife. They then took over a nearby radio transmitter and started beaming fake reports of the disappearance of millions of Christians during the night. As Jack awoke he found his wife missing, a tap in the kitchen running, and radio reports of missing Christians. For the first time in several decades he suddenly experienced doubt. Those articles that had sought to expose him as a deluded freak suddenly flooded through his head. The resulting mental breakdown saw him admitted to the nearby Jesuit owned Ita Nim Mulli asylum. There he was administered large quantities of drugs over several days - a combination that was eventually lethal. Police are holding Dr Rivera for further questioning.
Jack's funeral was a quiet affair. He had lived alone with his wife for over twenty years, and had few friends. It is believed that Bill Schnoebelen, who had previously escaped a life of vampirism with Jack's help, will take over at Chick Publications. However Jack's flair, and eye for the truth will undoubtedly be missed.
No, they're making fun of him. I can see why maybe that's not obvious, seeing that people like Chick actually sound even more ridiculous while being serious.

I figured the crack team of web-folk would've mentioned such in his Wikipedia article, but in Chick's kooky world it read like the Gospel.
I wonder what would happen if you made a tract showing how the Joshua and Miryam cult (Jesus and Mary) had been around long before Christ. Or how badly Mithra was ripped off by Christians.
The longer comic books they have are even more outrageous, although they concentrate mainly on the Catholic Church. It turns out the Pope invented Islam, and Pope John Paul II was actually a Communist!
Those comics are so disturbing- especially the gay one. Yeesh! And how about the unattractive female teacher, painted as a villain because she told a boy not to use the word 'queer'. the mini kissing devils were funny tho. props to the comic's writers for not saying that gays are child-molesters- progress, I guess.
This is nothing, you should see Chick's anti Catholic "tracts", those are even worse!
I agree. It not that Chick hates only Non Christians,he hates Christians who do not agree with him on every point.His booklets about how all modern translatations of the Bible are the work of hte devil is rich.
And yes,I am a Catholic.Call me biased against Chick.
