Oh my God, the timing on this couldn't have been any more ironic! Jack Chick died Sunday, Oct 23 2016 a fact I was unaware of until reading this. Last Thursday, Oct 20th, after not having seen a real life Chick comic in person since around 1994, I was handed a real life religious themed comic by some Evangelical Christians who organized a protest at my lady friend's college. I was picking her up that day and was like 45 minutes early and hungry, so instead of waiting in the car like normal, I decided to indulge in the campus Chick-fil-A (haha, Chick-fil-A, get it!!!!!)
Since I live in a rural community in the South, and the city this college is in has only around 25,000 people at most, as you can imagine, the protest was not very large. It wasn't like those large scale protests you see at the big universities in other places, but it was a nice protest, none the less.
So of course, me being me, I said fuck going to eat, I gotta check this shit out. There were plenty onlookers, a few little groups broke off with people having largely civil disagreements with the fundamentalist protester's methods, and one loud mouth protester (gotta have one of them, right?) that had the most vocal students surrounding him. There were only a small group of obnoxious counter protesters, like a gay boy with no shirt on and rainbow hair coloring in his hair and some kind of writing on his naked chest proclaiming his homosexuality, as if that was any mystery to anyone. There was also a girl there with a sign that said "I like girls" and a very large, heavy set, bulldyke marching around with "sign girl" and "no-shirt fag" in a circle around the very obnoxious, loud mouth fundamentalist.
I approached a few of the more civil fundamentalists and talked it out with them, and when they found out I wasn't a meanie who hated them just for the fact that they had the nerve to show up there, they gave me a mini bible that contained only Psalms and the New Testament, and also, to my glee, a small, little Christian themed comic.
I flipped through the comic a bit, then got to the back cover, and to my utmost excitement, there it was: Copyright Jack Chick!!!
Every part of this story, including me wanting to go eat at Chick-fil-A is 100% accurate. This shit is too nonsensical to make up. The strange thing about this is, this type of shit happens to me all the damn time. I feel like Forrest Gump sometimes, an exceptional individual who just happens to show up at the right places at the right times, except, unlike Gump, instead of being there for assassinations and schools getting desegregated by the National Guard, I just happen to show up around asinine, dumb shit. For instance, one time at Mardi Gras, I got to shake David Duke's hand lmao.
@Legatus Lanius thank you for this post, my good man. Since I happen to know that you are a fellow Romanist, could you be a dear and post some of Chick's anti-Papist propaganda for this thread? If you don't feel like, I understand. A simple Google search would probably get me there. I just think it would fit well with this thread since I know there are quite a few Roman Catholic Kiwi's in this bitch.
