My Thesis for my M.S. was on Chick Tracts! Any interest?
Hello Fellow Tracters! I am an academic in the United States, with advanced degrees in Communication Studies. I commented on a post a while back that I wrote my thesis (a long research paper proving I know my junk) for my Master of Science Degree on Jack Chick, and the visual rhetoric in his choices for his art. I saw a few people ask if they could see it. I found my printed copy, and I am willing to anonymize (and also I'm not that worried if you find out who I am) and upload some scans. There are a few caveats that I want to reach out to a mod for clarity on before I continue.
My thesis discusses religion quite openly, as a factor of Chick's beliefs, and as an influence on his rhetoric. I know there's no religion in the rules, I wondered if there was a flair or a loophole that made those kinds of posts permissible?
Language changed from the mid 2010s when I wrote this baddie, so try not to roast me too hard for outdated community or ideological terms.
They will be scans/pictures of my hardbound copy, so it might take a few parts to get the document uploaded. The school doesnt want to just let me have a download of my own work anymore. 🙃
I think that's my bit for the moment. Idk sound off in the comments if you want to see an "ancient" rhetoric relic. Attached the first page of my introduction for aid in your deciding.
