Sunday Matinee: 'God's Cartoonist: The Comic Crusade of Jack Chick'

Jack Chick's "Chick Tracts" were a big part of my adolescence as a regular church-goer. There's a lot of variety in his little religious tracts, from sentimental pleas of salvation to bizarre alternate history horror stories. I still like them, for all the reasons I did as a youth - they're fascinatingly personal and they have a very clear agenda, whether you agree with that agenda or not (and his insistence that the Pope is the Anti-Christ makes it hard to agree with his beliefs). Kurt Kuersteiner's 2008 documentary, God's Cartoonist, tries to learn more about the reclusive publisher by talking to his most hardcore devotees.
