Summary

Chick Tracts, what are they? You'll find out in our upcoming three-part series that covers a fundamentalist comic artist who was a hidden architect of the satanic panic, illuminati, and gay agenda hysterias. Jack Chick printed hundreds of millions of his bible tracts, small stapled together cartoon booklets full of blood sacrificing witches, evil secret societies, and sensationalized sin, based on the stories of "experts" like a druid high priest, a Catholic secret agent, and two women battling demons in a witch infested hospital. Chick Tracts are ridiculously brutal, deeply offensive, unintentionally hilarious morality plays meant to be left in random places by random Christians, in order to scare straight whatever lucky sinner happens to find them.

To listen to all three parts.

On one hand, for the good of our show, because I would love to expand what we do here and

1:12.5

give you more in-depth reporting on topics like this.

1:17.8

And on the other hand, because this is the very stuff American History is made of.

1:25.5

This lifeblood, its backbone, its heart, and mortal soul.

If you have never heard of the little evangelical cartoon booklets called Chick Tracks, named

1:50.6

after their creator, Jack Chick, that doesn't mean that you don't have some memory, deep

in your consciousness of finding one of these little black and white comic pamphlets, smaller

than a dollar bill, left sitting on a park bench or at a phone booth, or even tragically

given to you or your kids in replacement of candy during a night of trick or treating.
