I like how Jerry is totally sober at first but takes the time to become drunk and/or stoned off-panel just before driving.

Incidently, I'm about the lamest, most whitebread person ever. But these old Archie strips always make me want to become some kind of drunken drugged-up Satan-worshipping pervert. Wonder why that is?

'Cause they're about as subtle as being clocked with a wrecking ball?

Still nicer then a Chick tract. At least the Archie Christian comics focus on the "Loving God" aspect of Christianity. Chick tracts come off more like a Mob Protection Racket "Accept Christ as your Savior, or else!"

What Jack Chick taught me

There was this one pamphlet dropped off at our house once. In it, the parents were having problems. The father has a friend over to watch a game on tv and drink beer. The friend says he knows what the father has been doing with the daughter. The friend says he doesn't want to mess up the happy home, he just wants to get in on the action. Dad gets religion and comes home, tells his wife he's been molesting his daughter. Mom angrily says she knew all along. He sincerely tells her he's turning over a new leaf for God. They cry and embrace. The little girl is called in, they tell her they're changing, and that she won't be hurt anymore. Little girl says, "Really?"

Yeah, this is a pretty infamous tract called "Lisa". It's not on the website, for obvious reasons.

Motto. It's like they are daring you.
