It would be fitting if the obituary has done in the form of a comic strip, with the final panel having him in heaven... with Catholics, Jews, atheists, etc.
He's probably very confused right now. "This is not what I expected!?"
A few of Chick’s views, specifically on abortion, evolution, and LGBT people, possess a pernicious longevity. He celebrated AIDS as just deserts for anyone who didn’t adhere to his stringent sexual standards—a sentiment 14 percent of Americans still believe:
This guy was a very nasty dude.
But he did bring joy to millions, unintentionally, through his unconscious campiness. Let's remember him not for the hate, or the craziness, but for the precious gift of laughter. Haw haw!
Well at least Mr Chick will finally get proof positive that all his voluminous crap that he has been spouting for the last few decades is actually nothing but bunch of crap.
The lovers of great art will mourn no doubt, but do not worry as I'm sure he went straight up to heaven.
RIP Jack.
He's withJesusZeus now.
