http://chick.com/reading/tracts/1079/1079_01.asp
A solid but unremarkable effort this month. Another one of his stock plots, where the main character - here, a massive-eared freak of indeterminate age - is blissfully ignorant of his culture's religious background ("Soul? What's a soul?") before being preached to by a fundie, and is suddenly converted despite his initial hostility.
My favourite part:

You're given the opportunity to depict Christ descending majestically from the heavens, and you draw... a cloud with an arrow pointing at it? Really, Jack?
-
Jack's really just phoning it in isn't he?

One of the last pics made me guffaw.

The pope with 666 on his hat is a hilarious touch because the hate is so blatant.

Hmm, are they supposed to be the Four Horsemen? Communism, Catholicism, Death, and... who's the fourth one ment to be?

@ Kefka: To be fair, Ghandi was an unabashed racist.

I think the guy on the end may be meant to be a priest. A Catholic priest, of course. :P

I see Chick has got his stereotypical eeeeeeeeeeeeeevil Jews in there as well.
A mansion in heaven? And they accuse us atheists of being materialistic!

I don't know, but he looks like Voldemort.

Jack's gone completely off his rocker here. Your soul can think, speak, hear, get thirsty and remember? Any Biblical support for that Mr. Chick? Sounds a bit Animist to me....
PAGAN! SEIZE THE HERETIC!

I thought he looked kinda like Ikkaku.

Shame, looks like Chick is just phoning them in now.

Damn it, Jack! If you’re gonna start in media res, at least include Fang on panel one! I mean, then at least I might continue reading a little longer ’cause Fang hilarious. But here, you just lure me in with that title, ”Why Should I?” and I am thinking “Why should I what?” But then you start out right after that bit of context. And now I am lost and completely uninterested. Because it looks like my primary interest in even putting up with your little scribble looks like it will go unheeded.
And then right away you start throwing around your traditional strawmen with such reckless abandon that it dwarfs your mountain of previously discarded offerings on the Strawman Pyre of Faulty Logic, which, given your history, is saying a fucking lot!
So what do you get. A guy who used to find your stuff mildly entertaining. At least when paired with the dissections at Enter the Jabberwock. Now I can’t even get past panel freakin’ four.
-
This is so ridiculous it's not even funny. Seriously, the snake oil and mental manipulation is strong with this one. Also, this guy is way too easily persuaded.

I like how there's a note that says how if it doesn't say "mansions," you're using the wrong Bible. I also like how this is supposedly foretold, but still somehow a surprise.

I went to investigate and my browser refused to load the site. Thanks, Internet Explorer!
-
I thought he usually used the same stock image of Jesus in quite a few of his comics, though I've not read many. Why could h e not copy/paste an image from the last time he said that shit?
-
Sweet Luna, that's some Uncanny Valley there...
-
There was someone on Youtube animating Chick tracts as a joke.

I agree, he needs to do a Fang/antigrav cat fanservice comic.
-
That would be hilarious! I’d have to go out of my way to find a printed copy of that. (I sure as hell ain’t gonna pay him for it!)
-
On the note of Jack Chick...he's apparently getting his comics made into 3D animation.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLuWKat9jEM
It would be very hard to convince me that, to Jack Chick standards, that isn't professional.
Bonus points go to the ending, of course.
Oh man, I watched some of that guys other videos. Dude is a SUPER fundie. Has videos which include topics on how to put on the "armor of god", how non-christian men are evil, how succubi cause nocturnal emissions, etc.

So, by that guy's logic, I was given handjobs from Morrigan from Darkstalkers when I was a teen? Dude, score. =D

Give me Morrigan, Felicia or Talbain...
... ... especially Talbain. Yum <3

Jack's gone completely off his rocker here.
To quote EricTheBlue:
In order for Jack to be considered off his rocker, you're suggesting he was actually on it at one time.
-
I know that Jack Chick had a stroke at some point, and after that the quality of his artwork markedly decreased, especially in his drawings of faces. It's possible that his brain damage has simply gotten worse, and he no longer feels confident drawing people. You'll notice looking through many of his newer released tracts that they are not drawn by him, but likely by the same comic-book artist who drew the "Crusaders" series.

In order for Jack to be considered off his rocker, you're suggesting he was actually on it at one time.
Or that he ever had a rocker to begin with.

Or that the thought of anything that could possibly even resemble what we would call a rocker even existed in his twisted perception of reality. I think the existence of a rocker to Chick would be like dividing by zero to us.

There's one way to find out, but it involves something called "bath salts" and I don't want to try it.
