'''Jack Chick''' is an [[American]] [[Evangelical]] [[Christian]] cartoonist.
His works are featured in "Chick Tracts," inexpensive [[comic books]] designed to be left in public places and to reach out to unsaved souls who might be passing by. A major theme in his tracts are emotionally wrought protrayals of [[God| God's]] perfect love for his children alongside somewhat more violent images, like [[homosexuality| homosexuals]] writhing in agony while being burned alive in the streets of [[Sodom and Gomorrah]]<ref>http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1052/1052_01.asp</ref>.

Critics have argues that Chick's tracts are heavy-handed, clumsy morality tales whose reliance on stereotypes and faulty logic to make points is not nearly as odious as his flair for the overdramatic, questionable sense of decency, and strange obsession with conspiracy theories<ref>http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0007/0007_01.asp</ref>.
