What happened to Jack T. Chick?
Jack T. Chick is a name I’ve not heard for some time. He’s famous for his tracts.
Probably the most famous one is “This is Your Life”, one of his older creations (the website says copyright 2002, but it’s far older than that). It contained a simple story contrasting how two men lived their lives, clearly presenting the basics of Christianity.
Then there’s “The Last Generation”. Even for someone familiar with the theology of the Rapture and Tribulation, it was bizarre, confusing and ridiculous. (If you do go read the whole thing, count the number of digs he takes at Catholicism.)
The story includes a boy wearing a neo-Nazi school uniform who learns how to sacrifice pets in class. Like I said, utterly bizarre.
You know he's evil, 'cause he's bald, dressed like one of the X-Men, and offering free drugs.
The most frightening dystopias have some connection to reality. This aspect is not captured here.
(The boy vaguely resembles me when I was about 6, but in looks only. I wasn’t into cussing and animal sacrifice.)
i don’t know which is more disturbing:
1) the round-eyed boy who I will forever see in my nightmares gnashing his teeth at my mollybee
2) the fanatic take on “to die is to live”
3) “This title requires a minimum order of 10,000 copies.”
AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Reply to annie10,000 copies really? Hahahaha.
