** The bit near the end where he picks up a ChickTract to "see what it says" - as the panel doesn't change, Tom's "O God, I've been a fool. Please save me" seems more like he's reading the tract's content aloud at first.

* Chick's [[GeneralRipper rants against the Catholic Church]] are at once funny and sad. To hear him tell it, an AncientConspiracy issuing from the Vatican has been responsible for the following: both [[WorldWarI World]] [[WorldWarII Wars]], the Holocaust (in which Catholics were killed), the assassinations of [[AbrahamLincoln Lincoln]] and [[JohnFKennedy Kennedy]] ([[CriticalResearchFailure the first Catholic president]]), the attempted assassination of '''[[ThePope Pope John Paul II]]''' (it was faked, don'chaknow!), the Ku Klux Klan (also anti-Catholic), UsefulNotes/{{Islam}} (the Koran would have Catholics be killed, converted, or enslaved), Communism (which is anti-religion), UsefulNotes/{{Mormonism}} (a.k.a. the Latter Day Saints, which blames Catholics for the corruption of Literature/TheBible), Jehovah's Witnesses, and more. When his claims proved so virulent and erroneous that Protestant bookstores stopped stocking his comics, he blamed the Catholics for ''that''!
