Jack Chick goes back to the garden of Eden in his latest tract

 
 
 
Um.... The chimp is an ape. That's a lot like Adam, really.

Then it looks like there's a scene of an orangutan trying to seduce a gorilla. I thought everything was supposed to keep after their own kind?
 
The guy waving goodbye to Mom and Dad to go get married ... is older than his Mom. Looks about the same age as his Dad, I'd say. Is that his Stepmom, a child bride for Pops in his old age?
 
That faceless deity in that cartoon sure is dumb. He tries to hook up Adam with all sorts of farm animals before finally deciding to hook him up with another human. Maybe another human would be the first choice? I guess part of "god's plan" was to be indecisive about who or what Adam should have as a mate.

Fairly certain that is Bart Ehrman waving goodbye to his parents.

God is The Fonz and The Fonz is God, and they dwell within the Kingdom of Arnold's Diner. And one day the Angels Potsy and Ralph Mouth did sing...

Anyway, has no one ever bothered to tell Jack that maybe he should reconsider those super Jew-y noses he puts on most of Christ's enemies?

That's because being an atheist causes you to age unnaturally fast. That's how you know atheism is false. ;)
 
Serpents have legs? Wouldn't that make them lizards or something?
 
Pre-Fall, THE Serpent had legs. That's what makes it ironic. The only thing God had to change was to take his legs away. Everything else was already fully compatible with a snake lifestyle choice.

Wait, 'woman' doesn't come out of 'man.' You can get the word 'man' out of the word 'woman,' though. Maybe they got the story backwards....

Ya, most people get the story wrong. It went like this:

Adam was getting bored with the animals for company and proposed this idea to God... He said, "God, I have this idea for what would be your ultimate creation. I have a vision of a creature, beautiful, graceful, wise.. patient and limitlessly inspirational. Admon continued describing the beauty of all beauties, and grace of all things gentle, wise, and inspiring. God, intrigued with Adams proposal, responded, "I can, of course, create this. I will need from you a sacrifice. Give to me your left arm, both eyes, your nose, all the fingers on your right hand, a foot, your right lung, and your left ear." Adam thought on this and responded, "What can I get for a rib"?
 
I find one panel interesting. The Serpent says "you'll be like gods". Odd that Chick would put polytheism into the story where there is just one god that the man and woman know of.

There is a very persuasive argument against gay marriage because god brought forth Eve, not Steve. Bam!!!

And of course, man and woman were not booted from the Garden because they ate from the tree. The story is clear on that. Their punishment was birth pain, harvesting thistles, and slithering on your belly.

And why is the Mad magazine kid in one of the panels, holding a rat?

And then flash forward to year 30 when Jesus somehow he "paid for our sin". ???

The big shocker of this tract though is that god gives a thumb's up. Meaning god has thumbs. Why?! Quite the cliffhanger!

Chick may have put some odd things into the story, but the polytheism was already in it, at least according to the KJV (Gen 3:5):

"For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil."

Other English translations render the same verse differently, avoiding the plural "gods". I have no idea which version reflects the original Hebrew more accurately.

Yes, but that is generally a detail that Christians prefer to skip over.

Just looks a bit like him, that's all. No similarities otherwise. Unless you count 98% of the DNA, including such things as ERVs and broken vitamin C gene of course.

There was only one ape-kind in those days. Speciation only came after the flood. Otherwise they would not all have fitted onto the ark, see.

Well you form the word "woman" by adding a prefix to "man". By the way, that particular pub by the way works in English just like it does in Hebrew (ish, isha). That's not necessarily the case though. In German, the translators starting with Luther invent a word "Männin" to preserve the pun for example.
