The Flintstones as History

One of the joys of my college years was encountering Chick Tracts - little booklets filled with cartoon stories telling the "truth" of fundamentalist Bible thumpers. These tended to loiter on near garbage cans in public places in hopes of being found by sinners in need of salvation. Sadly, for Jack Chick, at least, many of them were found by me. Jack's organization is still at it, and has updated for the 21st Century with Chick Tracks online.

Via Respectful Insolence, we learn that a new Chick Tract is out that explains what really happened to the dinosaurs. Here's a hint - it wasn't a meteor strike. Or even smoking. Apparently whalers were involved.

Well, we saw what happened to whalers when they tried to mess with James T. Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise.

So that's what happened to the Dinosaurs? Thank you Jack Chick. You should check out www.316now.com; there are 9 short films based on actual Chick tracts. You will get a kick out them, I'm sure!
