Don't do witchcraft...Do your HOMEWORK!

bethje recently alerted me to the existence of this new Chick Tract. Just a few thoughts I have on it:

• Apparently Charlie Brown turned to witchcraft when he learned that it would allow him to finally grow a full head of hair.
  
• "Magic" being misspelled on the book cover is probably the only INTENTIONALLY funny bit in this tract.
  
• This isn't the first tract where some kids wanted to sacrifice a cat on Halloween. I wonder if this is referencing an actual incident (it does sound like the kind of thing some sicko would do), or just a straw man. Even if it DID happen, Chick probably threw some highly inaccurate details into the mix, like how he apparently thinks people putting razor blades in apples is a common occurrence perpetrated by Satanists. I know that most self-identified witches I've known and heard about were total animal lovers, but they also didn't worship Satan.
  
• If this is a public school, Miss Johnson (who appears to be wearing dark sunglasses indoors) is going to get in big trouble for preaching to a kid. And if it's a Christian school, shouldn't she have covered Jesus long before this?
  
• Poor Pig-Pen can't get into Heaven. Seriously, the drawing style is a total Peanuts rip-off.
  
• What's with that animal that looks like a cross-breed between a dog, a rabbit, an alligator, and a diseased sewer rat?
  
• Probably the best part of the whole thing is that the kids want to sacrifice a cat in order to GET GOOD GRADES. Boy, they do the darnedest things, don't they?
