Talk:Chick Publications

new navbox
Hi everyone,

I have created a navbox, Chick Publications Navbox, with the purpose of holding pages related to Chick Publications.

There used to be a category for this. See Categories for discussion/Log/2008 February 19.

Porn link removed
One of the links added to the page (Footnote #63) now leads to a porn site - the link hasn't been changed but for some reason it now redirects to the improper page. I have left the URL up, just removed the hotlink; perhaps someone more familiar with the original source can update the URL. 68.146.64.9 (talk) 22:21, 26 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I tried using Internet Archive but it kept timing out. I removed the URL altogether and replaced it with the the actual name of the original site.  I will keep trying to see if I can get a Internet Archive reference we can use but it generally doesn't have much luck with picture heavy sites.--BruceGrubb (talk) 18:25, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

things to be added
There should be a little bit more about factually and objectively verifiably preposterous nonsense in Chick publications, such as IHS standing for Isis-Horus-Set (or whatever it is), etc. Also, some of the tracts (such as "The Death Cookie") have developed a kind of camp status among a decidedly non-pious audience...

 * The problem here is there are few reliable sources that talk about the details of the tracks and those that do don't go into enough detail.


 * Trick Tracts: The Truth Behind Those Little Comics which points out factual errors in the tracts is borderline and enter the jabberwock has much the same problems.


 * A related problem is that many times there are no reference to any of the claims in the tracks other than scripture and the few times there are (such as Big Daddy) the source is of very poor quality.


 * Many of the tracks are sloppy in their handling of their subject matter (such as There go the Dinosaurs) that anyone with a reasonable reference book can rip the track to shreds just on the grounds of basic logic. In the case of There go the Dinosaurs it is claimed that the flood wiped out most of the plants reducing the amount of oxygen available to the dinosaurs making them lethargic.  The problem is the track either ignores or is ignorant of the fact that not all Dinosaurs were big-- Archaeopteryx discovered in 1861 is about the size of a modern chicken, Velociraptor discovered in 1923 is the size of a small dog,  and Deinonychus discovered in 1931 is roughly man sized.  The whole premise of the track falls about with the smallest bit of actual research.  This is the case with many of the tracks and explains why there is so little in reliable sources against them--any good armchair researcher can tear most of them apart.--BruceGrubb (talk) 06:23, 22 May 2011 (UTC
