Soon, hopefully, since foobonic is down and unable to take on any more photoes, our good pal, Equae Legit will post my Jack Chick Parody, "The Mallows."
It made me laugh, I hope it will do the same for you.
But beware, if you don't like cabbage or nougat jokes, or think the peanut is sacred, stay away.
Wait! I got your parody up first! And it's at a non-profit site!

...but is it funny?
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
Thor, in in the last six months or so, I've laughed at about every joke you made.
Hobbes Posted by Ethics Gradient (Member # 878) on :
Including the ones you muttered to yourself when you got out of bed in the morning. Hobbes, sadly, is not all smiles and sunshine. He's also a stalker.
Don't lie, Hobbes. Your smilies won't save you this time!

We ought to have a Jack Chick Parody contest.
(Parody, btw, is protected under copyright law, in case anybody is keeping score.)
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
Attack!
Your wrong again EG! :evil smilie:
Hobbes Posted by Eaquae Legit (Member # 3063) on :
I am willing to host any and all parodies in such a contest. This man deserves to be mocked.
Posted by The Silverblue Sun (Member # 1630) on :
If I could only EDIT on the real deal it would save me sooooooo much time.
I had to print the pages out, then cut and paste then into a Photoshop file. It took a while, if only I could erase of the orignal, that's be a sweet swell.
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
I'll donate my web space. The only reason I say this after EL has offered is that my space is very very large and I don't have to pay for any of it at all.
Hobbes Posted by Eaquae Legit (Member # 3063) on :
Mine's free too, but it has those annoying pop-ups, so if Hobbes wants to take this over, be my guest! Posted by Ethics Gradient (Member # 878) on :
Thor, can't you just open the file in Photoshop and edit it there straight away? *confused*

Well like I said I'm up for it. I think I'm limited to about 1 or 2GB of space. <grin> Just don't send me a 2 hour movie and I think we'll be OK.
My adress is wahra@babylonia.flatirons.org If we're going to do it let me know because I never check that e-mail (I check hobbes7714@hotmail.com a lot but hotmail is limited to 1MB attachments).

If you want to send me one of the Tracts, I'll parody it.

My favorite quotes:

I plan to incorporate these into my daily routine.
Posted by filetted (Member # 5048) on :
silverblue,
It "seemed" funny, but I'm not familiar with the material you're paroding. It was a little abstract.
I thought fugu had a perceptive comment when he notes that according to Chick, acceptance of Christ is all you need for salvation; also according to Chick is a truly incredible truckload of other beliefs. Very contradictory.
Thor, pretty funny but I couldn't find the original.

I submitted a parody as well. Hopefully Hobbes will have no problem assembling it (I sent individual jpegs) and posting it.

Heeheehee, that was darn funny.
Posted by The Silverblue Sun (Member # 1630) on :
Any word on Jacare's post?
Posted by Jacare Sorridente (Member # 1906) on :
Hobbes tried unsuccessfully to get it up. He promised to try again later on.
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
OK, sorry about the delay. I contacted the admins, they restarted and it's working now. Of course no one knows what the problem was but who cares?
Jacare, yours is here. Thor, I've changed the adress on yours, it's now here.

I think the tiny, hairy needle fighters were the clincher for me.
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
I thought it was just overall brilliant, the opening panel by itself made me laugh.
Hobbes Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
Where's the original?

The orginal what?
Hobbes Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
Wasn't this just another comic with the words replaced?
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
Ohh I see. Yes it was but I don't know what the orginal was. Jacare?
The list of all of the different comics Chick has made is here.
Hobbes Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
Ah, here we go.
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
That was probably the least offense thing I've read on that sight. When Chick doesn't try and bring down others, only explain what he believes it makes for much less repulsive reading.
Hobbes Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :
LOL!! I'm SO glad that I got to see that. Thank you Jacare. (wipes tear of mirth from eye)

I think the doctor looked more like Gene Shalit than Leon Trotsky. But the Crow baptism was pure gold.

You're right. Gene Shalit would have been WAY better.

This has reminded me to finish it, though. If I actually get through it, it will be a testimony to you, babycakes.

I'm the guy who volunteered, why don't you think I can handle them? Or instead of answering, just send them to me (at wahra@babylonia.flatirons.org) and I'll try.
Hobbes Posted by Maccabeus (Member # 3051) on :
Well, I'm not anywhere near finished yet...
They're something called .png files, which come from the Fireworks graphics program. There's apparently no other way to save them and I don't have another good graphics editor.
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
Hmm, I've heard of .png files but I don't know anything about them. If they don't require any serve-side help then I can handle them, other wise your pretty much out of luck.
*cough*
Hobbes Posted by Jon Boy (Member # 4284) on :
If you're using Fireworks, you have to save the file and then export it as an image. Yeah, I know; it's totally ghetto. My advice: get a better image editing program. Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :
My roomate thinks I'm nuts, I laughed so hard at Crow's baptism!
Posted by fugu13 (Member # 2859) on :
png is an excellent format. It stands for portable network graphics, and can be a drop in gif replacement, though it is (or rather, can be) many thousands of times more flexible and accurate.
It's just like any other online image format. The only quid pro quo is there is one major browser which does not support png alpha channels. Of course, that browser is IE. Luckily, gif-style binary transparency is fully supported.
Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
Well then send it on over!

Ralphie, you are brilliant! That was wonderful. And what a combo of easy/terrible tract to MST.
Posted by dkw (Member # 3264) on :
Brilliant as always, Ralphie. MST3K is definitely the way to go with these things.
I’m having a hard time getting over that appallingly bad representation of the Protestant Reformation. Makes me wonder how Jack thought Martin Luther stumbled across that Bible they’d managed to hide from everyone. After all, it’s not like he was a Roman Catholic priest assigned to teach Biblical Studies at the University of Wittenburg or anything.

I have sometimes wondered how IHS ever became an accepted abbreviation for Iesous Christos, though. Maybe if I’d taken a few more years of Latin I’d have learned about abbreviation conventions. Posted by Toni (Member # 5620) on :
Maybe you should take one of Jack's informative classes, dkw. ( )
Thanks for the praise, guys. They're fun to make, but some amount of work. And since work gives me a rash, I have to do them out of love.
However, getting positive feedback works, too.

You should get a copyright on them. Are parodies protected under copyright law? Do you need permission from Jack Chick to use his material?
[ September 08, 2003, 12:22 PM: Message edited by: sarcasticmuppet ]
Posted by saxon75 (Member # 4589) on :
Parodies are usually usually protected by fair use, although it depends on a number of factors, including the amount of the original work copied, whether the parody is being used for profit, and the amount of distribution of the parody. I'd say she's probably safe, should the issue actually come up.

Were the original tracts non-profit? I know that Wierd Al won a lawsuit that Eimenim brought against him for parodies. If the original tracts were non profit then I would think there are even fewer grounds for complaint. It isn't like it would cause a loss of livelihood.
