Jack T. Chick Quotes (1924-2016)

“It was occurring to me that, despite his friendliness, Chick might well be uncomfortable with my presence—especially if he really was the paranoid conspiracy nut he outwardly appears to be.  He probably was not looking forward to watching the film with a presumed Jesuit agent sitting by his side.”

“As I drove home, I reflected on my meeting with the king of Fundamentalist kitsch.  He came across as a kind, gentle old man.  He was nothing but polite.  He smiled.  He laughed.  Unlike the characters in his comic books, he didn't saw "Haw! Haw!" when he laughed.  From meeting him one would never suspect him to be the most infamous broadcaster of hate and paranoia in the Christian comics world.”

“Jack Chick was a graphic artist who lived his delusional life in lies, prejudice and paranoia, promoting racist, sexist credo-specific bigotry against everyone smarter than him, or who understood things better than he did: which is pretty much everyone since he was really impressively fucking stupid -even compared to other creationists. He was so bad that Chick Publications is recognized as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. So now I hear that this creepy old dogmatic fucktard has finally stopped breathing at 92 years old. I’m unapologetically glad about that. His death makes our world a better place. I think that everyone who believes the way that he did should show solidarity by burying their faces in the sand and holding their breath until Jack Chick breathes again. Because our world just doesn’t need anyone like that -making life irritating for everyone capable of rational or compassionate thought.”

“In truth, Jack Chick was the Leni Riefenstahl of American cartooning. Like the Nazi filmmaker who made Triumph of the Will, Chick was an artist of genuine skill who put his talent in the service of an odious ideology.”
