His comics have a certain camp humour, and you have to hand it to him that he certainly put his money where his mouth was and tried right up to the end to reach people.

And while his "chicklet" format is horribly dated now, in the 1960s it was kind of innovative.  Use of the new, secular medium of comic books to try and spread the Word was quite an innovation.

That said, the echoes of Gnosticism in Restorationist Christianity are fascinating. Chick himself (in his colorful illustrations of Christian history) argues that the Bogomils and Cathars were bearers of the light of the True Christian Church -- a tradition that was repressed by Constantine and survived via secret practice until the Reformation and the present.

A rabid ant-catholic.  You had a lot in common.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I'll bite: how do I have anything in common with a group of deluded people attacking other people over minor details of their delusions?

I stated that already.  Anti-Catholic.  A person with contempt for all religions differs from a person who has contempt for all religions but his own by hatred of only one religion.  So really, you only differ over the issue of one faith out of thousands.  On the others you are in agreement.
