Vicewriter Hey, do you Gargs know what a Chick Tract is? They’re little paper pamphlets made (in)famous by Jack T. Chick, an evangelical, fundamentalist Christian publisher, writer, and comic book artist. They are “equal parts hate literature and fire-and-brimstone sermonizing,” according to Robert Ito.

Which means they are AWESOME.

Chick Tracts are so infamously bad– so one-sided and crazy in their dialogue, and so unabashedly simple in their artwork– “good” people are handsome and well-kept, “evil” or “misled” people are ugly and disheveled, for instance– that one can’t help but enjoy them as utter, unabashed propaganda pieces.

Naturally, as an Indie Comics guy, it’s only natural that I would want to subvert this format for the joy and pleasure of promoting independent comics! Namely, the Two Gargoyles line!

Thanks to Mike Rieger’s art and technical expertise, Two Gargoyles has now produced its very own “Garg Tract”– A Litany of Vice. I’m preparing to mass-produce them for promotional purposes. Want one? Watch this space, and I’ll tell you how to get one of your very own!

Excitedly yours,

Michael

Years ago, there was a Molson Canadian beer commercial where a character named Joe rants about what it means to be Canadian. It electrified Canada, as it was to date the most national pride ever espoused publicly; we are, after all, a quiet and reserved bunch. But “I am Canadian” became a standard, an oft-quoted piece of Canadiana that served to unite us, to remind us of who we were, and to stand proudly because of it.

A beer commercial, for god’s sake, but a classic rant for the ages, nonetheless! Here, today, I present my Canadian super hero, Thunder, with his own version of the classic rant. Words by Michael McAdam, art by Joe Davis.

THUNDER: I AM CANADIAN

I drink Slurpees in wintertime.

I put on a toque, not a beanie.

I wear shorts when it’s snowing outside.

I know the difference between “poutine” and “Putin.”

If I break my arm, it’s free to have it fixed.

I live where a moose can walk through the drive-thru at the Tim Horton’s.

I have a Prime Minister, not a Governor, and we will NEVER be the 51st state.

I believe in the rule of law, not a cult of personality.

I am polite, but I am in no way weak.

We are the first nation of “fool around and find out,” and our country is as vast as our courage.

We do not tolerate intolerance; we accept all people as they are, in our cultural mosaic.

We are the country of Anne of Green Gables, and Anne Murray. We produced Captain Kirk and Superman. We invented basketball, the zipper, the telephone and insulin, among others.

Canada is the True North, Strong and Free, and we are second to no one.

My name is Thunder, and I AM CANADIAN.
