Jack Chick has gone on the record as saying Christian music is evil.
And then he made a tract where he outright calls it Satanic.

That is just incredibly bizarre, like does this man allow any sort of fun?

I don't think the art is that bad (at least not enough to be distracting). But the content paints an odd worldview, even to Christianity. I remember reading one where a New Age healer is portrayed as a sinister evil guy in a "crapsack world" where animals are sacrificed on Halloween:

No. And it's not even like he's a monk or anything who forsakes worldly pleasures for spiritual growth or charity; a recurring theme in his comics is that charity and good works are completely useless compared to accepting Jesus as a *personal savior. He's just a useless dead lump inside. He spits on giving and even simple human pleasures like dancing and singing.
*Even though if there was one religious figure who you'd expect to exalt charity above anything else, it'd be Jesus. But as you might have guessed, Jack Chick is crazy.

I found Nick Bates favourite tract http://www.fmh-child.org/Lisa.html

Lisa, the one tract that has been pulled from his website and it's no longer being published because people cried out that it was an awful, awful message.
Lisa is a sweet teenage girl who is repeatedly raped by her alcoholic father and his friend. God, in all his wisdom, sends an evangelist to the door to pray for him and winds up converting him with no problem. It ends with him now finding Jesus and everything is going to be okay. I think he even hugs Lisa and says so.
So let's get this straight. God knows what's going on, allows it to happen and instead of calling the cops of something like that sends an evangelist to convert him. No word if this guy is going to jail. No attempt to get the guy to confess his crimes. No talk of getting a psychiatrist for his traumatized daughter. No. He's found Jesus and that's the only thing that matters.
Jack Chick is a sick fuck.

There's another comic about a Lisa who gets raped by her father. Only Lisa in the one I'm referring to is like... 6 maybe? 5? It ends pretty much the same way.

There have actually been a few that have been pulled for their sheer awfulness, and a lot more that have been greatly edited.

in this recalled tract he shows the devil as a kind supportive man who helps gay people avoid suicide and fights against gay bashing

Isn't the definition of a lolcow "a strange, funny person on the Internet"?
Because while Chick is quite funny, I don't think he uses the Internet too much.
And besides, "a lolcow is not a celebrity", and Chick might as well count as a sort of celebrity, given how infamous he is.
Don't get me wrong, Chick's tracts are quite lol, but I just don't think he's a lolcow.
For what it's worth, here is what seems to be the only available photograph of the elusive Chick:
He's the one on the left.
He looks like my grandpa and that kind of disturbs me

Wasn't he not-so-secret secret lovers with his business partner? Or am I thinking of somebody else?

It's water under the bridge at this point, but back in the pre-Internet 2.0 days he had a large Internet footprint. For much the same reason as Scientology did. He was infamous for waging an eternal e-war against websites that hosted his comics or even just put up a panel or two for review.
You can still find remnants of Jack Chick's jihad if you look hard enough, though. Here's an example. Complete with his organization actually contacting lawyers and making phone calls. Even with The Jumping Dwarf's strict definition, he only dodges lolcow status by sheer timing.

An uncredited man by the name of Fred Carter has been Chick's artist for a long time. Like I said in the OP, the tracts that Chick personally drew look a lot like tijuana bibles. Fred is the one who does the realistic drawings. I don't doubt that a man his age could write those shitty little tracts though. I've got a grandmother who's actually older than him and could churn out this shit in a weekend.
Not that I'm aware of.

To Chick's very slight credit, while his views on race are definitely awkward, he at least tries to be better than many Southern Baptist types. For a 91-year-old conservative Southerner, claiming that all races of people CAN even get into Heaven is likely progressive.
Much more lulzy in my view is the fact that he continually cites books he himself has published as a source.

It's also been rumored that Chick almost never leaves his house, because he thinks the Vatican has assassins after him.

In any case, as @CatParty has pointed out, there's already a thread for Chick (and the one other guy who runs the Chick Publications YouTube, who might be more of a lolcow, as he uses the Internet more), so we might require a merge.
