Default Anyone here a Jack Chick fan?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum but I guess those little cartoons are biblical propaganda.

Anyway, is anyone else here a Jack Chick fan? I recently started reading his site after seeing someone link one of his cartoons to another message board. It took me a while to understand that it wasn't satire, but a serious attempt to preach the word of god to a variety of heathens. (Personally, I think his target audience is the people passing out the tracts and not the people they want to "save").

Anyway, sorry if this thread has been started someplace else. I just have gotten countless hours of entertainment reading those things (especially when the sinners grovel in front of god and then get tossed into the lake o' fire). Maybe there are some other like minded people here?

Chick is a paranoid xenophob and rarely sticks his head out from his filthy hole in the ground. Jack Chick's high school year book picture...



and Jimmy Akin's rendition after he met him recently (devil horns removed)...

I wonder what Jack Chick has to say about the second commandment?

"You shall not make for yourself an image, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth."

In plenty of his tracks he depicts angels and God, heaven, etc. Is this not against what God teaches?

I think the original commandment refers to graven images. Curiously enough, btw, Chick's depiction of Jebus is always faceless.
