A couple of updates on Jack Chick:
1) I hadn’t realized, but the Catholic Answers Special Report that I wrote on Chick Tracts is online. (This isn’t the same as the article on my meeting with Chick. I’ll get that online soon.)
2) I finally found a copy of Jack Chick’s high school yearbook photo. This is a photo that I knew existed (one of two) but that I couldn’t find a copy of. Here is the original courtesy of the Jack T. Chick Museum of Fine Art:
Now here’s a comparison of how Chick looked back about 1942 with how he looks today:

I was pretty pleased at how the drawing I did came out. It shows the same wide mouth, prominent cheek bones, and broad forehead that struck me when I met Chick. There are signs of aging (of course!), and his eyes look larger when he is wearing his glasses (which he doesn’t all the time; he had them both on and off during our meeting), but it came out pretty nicely.
