Creationists - Jack Chick, Kent Hovind, etc.

Here's a little random thought: Maybe Nookie Bear could somehow copy Chick's business model? I mean, his art is actually a tiny bit better than Chick's and like him he's trying to get a message across. So why couldn't Dobbie create handy little proselytizing SJW tracts starring his shit bear and friends?

OH WAIT. This would give him too much stress. The big difference between Chick and a number of other lolcows lies in the fact that Chick is at least pretty diligent and keeps pumping out nutty comic after nutty comic.
 
Well, Chick doesn't do the artwork anymore, does he? Didn't he have a stroke a while back?
 
I have to say that Chick guy's stance on salvation through grave vis-a-vis works is confusing. If he's in favor of grace, what's with his homophobia? Is grace not enough to "excuse" homosexuals if it works for murderers and rapists?
You can't really expect consistency or logic from someone as insane as Chick. About the only constant in his theology is his concept of sin, which basically boils down to disagreeing with Jack T. Chick.
he still acknowledges that a lot of the big-name televangelists out there are just self-indulgent douches.
I chalk that up to him dissing his competition. Doesn't Chick run his operation on donations? There's probably only so much gullible christian charity money to go around.

I think he makes most of his money from people buying his stuff, either seriously or as a joke. In any case, Chick strikes me as crazy but sincere; I don't think he's denouncing megachurch televangelists to help his business.
 
He wouldn't need very many buyers to make a decent profit. As long as there are enough people who not only buy into his crazy brand of Christianity but believe this will convert all non-believers he'll at least break even and churn out even more.
 
Ah, Jack Chick. I remember at my grandpa's funeral, there was this really fat guy handing them out. Even though I was only 15 at the time, I was still quite aware of Jack Chick and his bullshit. My mom wasn't though, so I had to explain it to her at lunch after the funeral. I blame my mom's stepmom for this, considering she was quite the bible thumper and republican wheras most of my family is rather liberal and not very religious (Hell, my grandma was very far left and a atheist, the anti thesis to his other wife. Made his later marriage kinda amusing to me, to say the least).

I think my favorite thing about Chick Tracks is the fact that he race changes the casts of his more popular comics and revamps it's to appeal to that demographic. For example, he has an older comic called Charlie's Ants in which a little white boy named is the protagonist. Recently, he did a "black" version of it called Kura's Ants in which a little black boy named Kura is the protagonist. The story is exactly the same as Charlie's Ants except everyone in it is black. Racist implications aside, I don't think Kura's even a name. In fact, I looked it up on Google and the closest thing I could find was that Ikea sells some kind of bed called Kura. Did Chick come up with the most pseudo African name instead of doing research? Or that black people can have ordinary names as well? I guess I shouldn't be asking these questions because I already know the answer.

Also Dude is old as balls. He's 91 and I think he even outlived his own daughter. He's probably going to croak in the next couple of years.

The sad thing is I think he's genuinely trying to appeal to black audiences but is just too damn old and crazy to know how.

Mostly too crazy.


Like holy shit.

Like I said before, I'm going to have to somewhat defend Chick here, because I imagine that among 91-year-old conservative white Southerners whose formative years were pre-Civil Rights Movement Chick's actually pretty progressive. At least he tries. He doesn't succeed, but he tries.
 
The one and only known photograph of Chick to grace the interwebz (from 2007):

He's the freaky dude on the left.
 
I was once handed hi
He seems way too enthusiastic.

I wonder how this got on the Internet at all. He's paranoid that the Vatican has him on their hit list, so he won't give interviews or have photos taken of him.
@Brad Watson_Miami doesn't give interviews either. Frankly, I'm pretty sure it's just a sign of someone who knows their schtick wouldn't stand up to any level of criticism.
