| x-entertainment.com | CHICK COMICS THEATER: Tossing The Damned liquorhead - 07/25/00 With numerous Jack Chick comics produced in the last 30 years, one of the most common scenes are depictions of what happens to you after you die. One of my favorite recurring events are when a soul, cursed to Hell, is thrown into the fiery abyss by a more than willing angel. This toss from "Creator or Liar" (1976) is a little half-hearted, almost a drop, but it gets the job done. Probably the end of the day for this angel, or that's how fat people are thrown into Hell. Another example of the drop technique, only this guy is stripped naked first. The angel must have really dug his Armani suit and didn't want to see it wasted. This one's a hall of famer. He's thrown the unfortunate damned soul so far you can barely even see him. This one is a personal favorite. Lots of distance and grace, and as a finishing touch, the poor schmuck's glasses fall off. With everything blurry in Hell, maybe he can just pretend he's in Sacramento. Angels usually get all the credit for good throws, but you have to give this guy credit for making the most of it and showing good diving form. A rare double toss from "Flight 144" (1998) with a good arc, lots of air time, and plenty of distance. These angels are definitely on the All-Star team. Another recurring scene is when the angel takes the recently departed up to heaven for judgement. This is where Jack Chick reveals that it's not the same for everyone. Sometimes when you die, and angel takes you straight up into space. But when blacks die, a special black angel comes to get you, as shown in "Going Home" (1991). And as shown in "The Tycoon" (1993) Asians get special Asian angels, too. I want to see what those Eskimo and Pygmy angels look like! You'd think there'd be a little baby angel for this heavenbound tot. If he went to Hell, Hot-Stuff The Tuff Little Devil might be waiting for him. Of course, when Armageddon finally comes, those Angels would be working overtime throwing people all day, so God invented a super CONVEYOR BELT TO HELL that dumps ya right in. And the Devil's even waiting for you, with a mysterious Colonel Sanders mask on. The devil sure likes using that mask trick a lot, must be a big MISSION IMPOSSIBLE fan. -liquorhead
