Finally, someone's pointed out the ONE thing that I've always found unbelievable in Chick Tracts. from: http://www.monsterwax.com/chickreviews55.html#god%20with%20us
quote:
Forgive me, but I'm going to veer off topic for a second. One of the problems that I've always had with the sinners in Chick Tracts is that they believe EVERYTHING they're told at face value. It's one thing when they're talking with Faceless God right before they get sent to hell, but it's quite another when it's the truck driver in The Sissy? or Bob Williams in It's The Law, The Last Judge, or almost every tract that Bob shows up in. The Christian tells someone they've met for the first time, "This is who God is and this is what He did." The sinner's response is basically, "Whoa, you're telling me this, so it must be true." Some sinners go on to be saved, and some sinners react with, "I know God is real, but I just luuuuv to sin, so I'm going to ignore what you just said." Nobody ever says, "So you want me to believe that this is how God is, just because you said so? The bible is God's word because you say it is? Do I even know you?" If people had this much faith in other people, evangelism would be a walk in the skating park.
That and of course, no one ever runs into anyone who's ever able to argue against the xtian's spiel in those books.

Egg-xactically! It doesn't get much better than a Chick tract! Love 'em!
But, I fear Jack's slipping a bit. His art seems to have gotten sloppier and he seems stuck on a meager handful of themes.
Bob looks like he's straight out of a '50's vintage, skin flick.
Actually, all it proves is that the gullible are always with us, as stated.

Terry, I cannot believe you're not familiar with Jack Chick! Please allow me to enlighten you:
Biography of Jack Chick
From early childhood, it was obvious that Jack Chick had an ability to draw. He even failed the first grade because he was so busy drawing airplanes in battle. As he grew, Jack was constantly drawing, and honing skills that God would later use in a great way.
While in high school, none of the Christians would have anything to do with him because of his bad language. They all agreed not to witness to him, convinced that he was the last guy on earth who would ever accept Jesus Christ.

-------------------------------------------
Eight Reasons Why Chick Tracts Make Witnessing Easy!
#65532;CARTOON FORMAT
Before you can share the gospel with someone, you must first get their attention. The world knows how to get and hold people's attention... with pictures! Television, movies, videos, comics, etc. Chick tracts use the same technique, using irresistible cartoon pictures to grab the reader's attention. Nobody, young or old, can resist cartoons.

Well, it looks like Chick is giving up on subtlety. From:
http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/5019/5019_01.asp
See:
http://www.chick.com/tractimages57205/5019/5019_09.gif
shows how prayer fails, even in Chick tracts! Besides, the guys' got God mad at him, and they're going to talk to god about getting him out of trouble? It doesn't work by the way. The guy "dies in his sins".
http://www.chick.com/tractimages57205/5019/5019_19.gif
http://www.chick.com/tractimages57205/5019/5019_21.gif
And once again, we have the "3 days of death for one is supposed to be equal to an ETERNITY of suffering for everybody else" way of God paying of HIMSELF so that HE can save the PEOPLE whom otherwise HE would have to send to hell, even though he let them be BORN knowing that that's the fate that awaits them.
http://www.chick.com/tractimages57205/5019/5019_22.gif
As someone said somewhere on the internet infidels forums, "it looks like taking the time to think about things is wrong, while impulsive decisions based on fear are right" (something like that) The poster also noted that God is supposed to know and schedule each person's death. This guy was going to think about it. Couldn't god have held off for a few more hours with a guy's soul at stake?
