"Dark Dungeons," hands down. Remember kids, D&D will turn you into a Satanic mind-control "witch" and may cause your best friend to commit suicide!
Hell, I'll bet even Chick&Co. are ashamed of that one.
And let's not forget "Angels?" Even if you sing about God, it's a sin if you do it rock'n'roll-style.

The recent one with the vampires (complete with Chick's young female author avatar turning undead D&D style) is funny as well. Speaking of D&D, of course "Dark Dungeons" is a classic: The ones about the Jews are strange. On the one hand we have "Love the Jewish People" which goes on about how much God loves the Jews and people who screw them over get shafted from on high, but on the other we have "Where's Rabbi Waxman" where we see that Jews go to Hell. Is he trying the good tract bad tract approach to converting the Jews? "Lisa" is repugnant. Reading it made me feel physically sick.

The sickest one is "Lisa" but my all time favorite is the Dark Dungeons one.

Loved dark dungeons for the sheer WTF element. I'll admit I haven't seen many, but the ones where he pretends witches are real are way better than the boring ones where Johnny Moron who somehow never heard of Jesus is converted instantly. Also, that demotivational is hilarious.

@ ausador: THANK YOU! That's been one of the things that bothers me most about "Lisa". It all starts when the mommy gets a job and stops--well, as you said, letting the guy mount her. (I can't bring myself to call it sex when somebody's enduring it rather than enjoying it.)
@ perv: Thanks!

Here's something that's bothered me about that one since I first read it years ago. Every tract is drawn with the audience in mind; many of them address specific issues or sins. You give out something like "Sin City" to homosexuals. You leave copies of "The Death Cookie" on the pews in a Catholic church. "A Love Story" is a good all purpose one. With that in mind, my concern is, first off, just who the hell were you supposed to give that one to, and how the hell would you know? The mind boggles. I didn't even think of it that way, now I'm going to have nightmares. Is this how a fundie wife says she knows what he's doing? Oh, and Somebody Loves Me is another horrible one. Somebody Loves Me used to creep the fuck out of me when I was a kid. Big Daddy was one of my favorites. This Was Your Life was a little amusing.

I'm being so totally original here, but Dark Dungeons, definitely. In fact I almost wish someone who is handing out tracts would come up to me just so I can say "Do you have Dark Dungeons? :D"

I love the D&D one as well. When I first saw it, I had not actually heard of Jack Chick, and thought it was a well thought out parody.

Does he really believe in Child sacrifices and that witches and vampires are real?
I can't believe anyone over 12 could believe that sort of shit.

He believes that a man who came back to life after being dead for three days can give him eternal life if Jack telepathically accepts him as his lord and savior, allowing him to remove an evil force from Jack's soul present there because a woman made out of a rib and a mound of dirt ate a magic apple after a talking snake told her to. I find vampires rather believable compared to that.

My favorite is "The Present." It's not insulting or offensive in any way, it's just really, really stupid.

Isn't that the one where the like six year old gets beaten to shit, then dies in an alleyway?
Yeah...can't imagine why that would have frightened you....
Time out. Jack Chick actually has RECURRING characters? I thought he just brainstormed a random gender & age, then slapped the same old shit onto their text bubbles.
As for mine, I wish I could remember what it was called...it had some guy being tortured with electrocution & microchips, and this dude in a weird-ass costume with a phallic hat called "New Age Faith Healer Man." It was all about the "tribulation," and it had this little like Hitler youth kid who sold out his grandpa, or something to that effect--which, incidently, points out how bad his parents were, if they couldn't even stand up against a public school.
