Cool!
Founded even earlier I see, November 18878.
We might as well talk about football in a Jack Chick thread.

Aha! Your distracting talk about the past has failed to disguise your true nature: you are time-travelers from the future!
It's a conspiracy of future-dwellers meddling with our contemporary religious thinkings, and stuff!
And now that I have unmasked you… er… well, uh…
I think Celtic was probably founded by time travellers from the past, come to meddle with religious thinking in Glasgow. Rangers even more so!Aha! Your distracting talk about the past has failed to disguise your true nature: you are time-travelers from the future!

Here's a really weird site, that is clearly arguing the opposite.

But probably they didn't read that stuff in the Catholic Church you were raised in. Or I hope not, anyway.
Once the Blessed Virgin has had a chat with the demons, well you can believe every word that comes out of Hell. They're a bit "pre-conciliar" down there, by the way. Don't think the Church should introduce innovations. I can't imagine what they think of Pope Francis!

This one has a good amount of Fang, with Fang briefly prevailing against his old rival, The Cat Whose Name I Don't Know (TCWNIDK). Fang has TCWNIDK up a tree, but he takes advantage of a brief lapse of concentration on Fang's part, and near the end is seen chasing Fang out of the panel, where yet another cat-on-dog rape will certainly take place. Oh, Fang, you scatterbrained scamp, will you ever win?
The problem is that the Fang plot is recycled directly from Cathy, but leaves out Fang's famous "crapping on the lawn" and "sleeping standing up" scenes that made Cathy an all-time classic of Fangdom. I give Mary's Kids a five out of ten.
I guess there was some stuff about Jesus and Mary or something too. I don't really pay attention to those parts.

That's interesting - I've always thought of the Old Testament God as the abusive alcoholic father, and Jesus as his shy, under-achieving son. Now you've described Mary as the co-dependent wife who can settle him down from his drunken rampages.
What a dysfunctional family!

Like the fact that the flood was the result of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost going on a monstrous beer bash?

And the heavenly urinal was all stopped up by the enormous cigarette butts carelessly discarded by the nephilim.

I find Chick's entire body of work offensive. Not just the tracts, but the paintings, too.

You just know he gets up to some weird stuff, like pits dug in his basement, puts the lotion on its skin, fat girl skin suits weird. I suspect this a public battle with private demons.

Jack Chick has always had a beef with Catholicism, viewing it as a false version of Christianity full of made-up doctrines intended to control the members.
For example, the anti-Communion tract "The Death Cookie".
For example, the anti-Communion tract "The Death Cookie".
That is a quite astounding cartoon. According to Chick the letters IHS on the host stand for "Isis, Horus and Seb, the Gods of Egypt". The RCC hasn't taken this stuff lying down of course. For its response see http://www.catholic.com/documents/the-nightmare-world-of-jack-t-chick

Doesn't this dispute date back to Pope Leo XIII's Testem Benevolentiae Nostrae on the heresy of Americanism in 1899?
Even today, you can find references to this. For example:
How to Address Priests and Religious: Titles and Signs of Respect
For the same reason, it is inconvenient for a Catholic to call a Protestant preacher “reverend,” because this is to indirectly confer legitimacy to his heretical confession. It is much better to call a Lutheran Mr. Jones instead of reverend Jones, or use the title Doctor or Professor, if it is applicable. In writing, it is sometimes necessary to refer to a Protestant as bishop, but the title should be lower case, e.g. bishop Philip Robinson, or Protestant bishop Robinson, as a sign of differentiation from the Catholic Bishop.
The same general rule regarding Protestants – that is, to avoid the religious title in direct address – would apply to the hierarchy in other heretical or schismatic confessions. If a title is used in writing, it should be lower case, e.g. rabbi Jacob Levinsky, or for an “orthodox” bishop, bishop Michael Baldwin, etc.

This was very much Leo XIII's view, and not only as regards Americanism. See his On the Nullity of Anglican Orders 1896. http://www.papalencyclicals.net/Leo13/l13curae.htm.
The Catholic defence against Chick's absurd conspiracy theories, referred to in my last post, while it seeks Protestant support against Chick, is unyielding on the invalidity of Protestant ritual.

I always wondered what it actually stood for, aside from that. From Wikipedia: "IHS" or "IHC", denoting the first three letters of the Greek name of Jesus, IHΣΟΥΣ, iota-eta-sigma, or ΙΗΣ.
Where the sigma changed form to the lunate sigma C (lunate like a moon slice) in medieval Greek, and S sigma finally.
I wonder if the vernacular thought it stood for Jesus (something) Christ, hence Jesus H. Christ.
