Yes, this is a Chick tract, which are real comics you are supposed to give to people to convince them to become (Jack Chick’s specific variety of) Christian.
Wow. I did not know of this. Thanks for posting. It's kind of frightening knowing it's a real comic for the purpose you mentioned. I used to be religious (as a kid) but have never come across these (thankfully).
I can't comment further on the subject matter, other than: Christianity (well at least some [most?] of it) is a terrible invention.
Glad I'm far removed from it now.
I grew up reading these. So fucked up. One of them was pulled from print for advocating that CSA victims stay at home with their abusers and forgive them (or else), so long as their abuser believes in Jesus.
Lisa. (Which I wonder if it inspired the video game Lisa at all - similar themes). It’s horrifically fucked up, but of note is that the doctor doesn’t report the dad for letting his friend fuck his daughter (giving her herpes), because the dad finds Jesus and promises never to do it again.
This is how it often happens to this day in parts of the Southern US - like they pulled it because of bad PR, not because they didn’t stand behind the message: it’s not “wow this was fucked up and we’re sorry to have ever thought this was a good idea” but just “we no longer stock Lisa”
It looks like the internet archive took down their copy, which is concerning. It’s been out of print for decades.
Is that one of those comic books the religious nuts hand out on Halloween?
Those are unhinged! I like the Catholic/Jewish/communism conspiracy ones though.
The worst was "Lisa," where the father sexually abused his daughter, let's his friend rape her as well, gives her herpes, then blames it on a porn addiction and his wife being cold to him. Oh, and Jesus forgives him so there's no need to actually do anything with regards to his daughter.
yes, they are called Chick Tracts
Well maybe if they didn't send their kid off dressed like a member of the Hitler youth they wouldn't have these issues...
Wait, this isn't just someone's fever dream?
Chick Publications has produced over 250 different titles, about 100 of which are still in print and available in over 100 languages.
Millions of these are getting printed every year.
Chick Tracts have successfully created a very real current of evangelical hostility vs. Catholics, Mormons, Jews, Muslims and other faiths, but especially against women, the poor, social liberalism, queerness, modernity, science, scepticism, atheism, freemasonry, and racial equality, but also rock music, D&D, the british, immigrants and (of course) Europe in general.
