Wouldn’t it have been much easier for him to just say “I’m a big self-loathing closet case”?

Did you notice how the people putting their thumbs down have left hands on their right arms? And how the little boyscout appears to be levitating AND digging his heels in? (At least, that’s what I THINK the artist was going for…)

I’m with Emily, the homophobia is eye-roll-worthy, the comic however is a crime against art.

As for the 12 year old comment: I know 12 year olds who could do better. I honestly do. Well, OK, I know one.

It’s like that sad middle-schooler who keeps writing “I am so cool” on his book covers.

Scott – I think they really meant a road’s scholar…

Yeah, I agree, Chick tracts are at least unintentionally funny, if quite pathetic and a little sad. This thing is just plain old pathetic and REALLY sad. There are some other choice grammatical errors, too, “ask’s” as the singular present conjugation of “to ask” as well as a glaring instance of “your” instead of “you’re”.

Perhaps Sherlock Holmes was right; when you fill your “brain attic” with useless junk (like this claptrap) you eventually run out of space and have to get rid of the useful stuff (like spelling, grammar, and common sense).

Or as C.S. Lewis’s character, the Professor queried, “I wonder, what DO they teach them at these schools?”

PiaSharn, thanks for clearing that up a bit. It helps me solve this mystery as to why people who say “homosexuals” never include women in their bigotry.

How terribly sad.

Chick Tracts are at least somewhat coherent and have a modicum of art value.

I thought he had a 12 year old draw it.

BTW, Brent seems to have forgotten that the SCOTUS invalidated sodomy laws in ALL fifty states (like it or not Oklahoma is one of them), the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico in 2003.

LOLZ, “chick tracks” are considered so noxious, outrageous, and ridiculous by many CHRISTIAN booksellers that they won’t even carry them.

Oh, and, art school-trained artist talking here: Chick’s artwork ranges from buffoonish to overdramatic (he has a couple ppl working for him I think). But the writing is ALWAYS ridonkulous. That’s right. I used that word. Because it’s the only word that does it justice.

Poor Oklahomans; another politico has caught “The Kern”.
