TRANSCRIPT
(NOTE: Mick's artwork is so poor I have no idea who most of the people in this comic are.)
A queue of people. One appears to be Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. One must be Kamala Harris because she has a name tag saying "Kamala".
Man at head of line (thinking): My lawyers will beat this.
Man behind him wearing helmet: We demand to be at the head of the line!
"Alexandria": Escalators to the moon would speed it up!
Woman wearing headdress (maybe Elizabeth Warren?): White throne judgment is racist!
Man at back of line (possibly Bernie Sanders) (thinking): I have a weird feeling about this...
MICK WILLIAMS
'To The Bitter End.'
Space doesn't permit showing the extent of this rogue's gallery, but it extends for uncounted miles--and that's just for Washington D C.
LADY CHECKMATE
I'm still embarrassed to admit that I voted for Obama. I'm also still apologizing for that mistake.
MICK WILLIAMS
Still have liberal tendencies? We're pulling for you!
LADY CHECKMATE
LOL. Actually, I do still have a few liberal tendencies, but only those that align with God's word. The truth is that some of those "beliefs" or "policies" are grounded in truth, but have been perverted by the alt-left. Consider feeding the poor, housing orphans, caring for widows, etc. We can't deny that that pleases God. I may come across as a soft-touch, but I truly believe that pleases God.

As awful as Mick's artwork is I can tell who these folks are.
FROM LEFT TO RIGHT: Bernie Sanders, Chuck Schummer (nose and glasses give it away), Elizabeth Warren (stupid 'Indian' gettup due to the 'Pocahontas' garbage), Kamala Harris (only due to name tag because she's unrecognizable, here), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (Latina who's always drawn as a toothy bug-eyed nutcase by wingnuts), Cory Booker (Mick drew him as a goofball in a Centurion Helmet. before) and....finally....the Far-Right's fave boogeyman, billionaire philanthropist extraordinaire, George Soros.
@Dr. Razark
Thanks. Glad I could help.
And, yes, I'm asking the same question as you. As far as I can tell, it's partly a "Rogue's Gallery" thing. Other than that....seems Micks been hitting the butane hard.
Why does he always draw Booker as a Flip Wilson clone in a Centurion helmet?
Careful, Dick Willy.
Your being scared of not just Kamala Harris is showing.
And how, eh SpukiKitty: FSTDT's resident Wise One. b^_^d
I wouldn't have known who half of who those people are supposed to be, based on Dick Willy's art that is total shite.
And as we've seen time & again: he puts the 'F' in Art. He's gotten that grade many times in Art class at school, methinks.
Thanks, Moose! The art is very crappy but I can make out who they are (except for Kamala, who's been replaced with a generic dark-haired white woman, for some reason).
To the other commenters: What's happening in the cartoon is that they are facing the 'Great White Throne' judgement, a thing which some Christians (notably the Raptards) believe will come at the end of the world where all the bad people (namely the ones Mick Williams doesn't like) get thrown into the lake of fire.
It would have been easier to deduce if Mick had actually bothered drawing the Great White Throne. (Jack Chick, who looks like quite a good cartoonist when he is compared to Mick Williams, depicts the Great White Throne as being occupied by a giant faceless figure pointing an accusing finger.)
@Citizen Justin
Thank you!
@Citizen Justin: Jack Chick's art is the really cartoony 60's Mad Magazine wanna-be scribbles. The good art you're thinking of is his uncredited collaborator, Fred Carter.
Insane as they were, you at least knew what the hell Chick Tracts were supposed to be about. You could understand the message, even if it was vile. Mick is just all around terrible.
@ Kid Cthulhu
No it's Chick who draws the Great White Throne.

In the case of Jack Chick (top) vs Fred Carter (bottom), I know Carter's art is better but what I meant was, it's the comparison with Mick Williams that makes Chick look good.

The deal with Booker and the helmet is, I assume, a reference to his releasing confidential documents from Brett Kavanaugh, and later describing it as his "I am Spartacus" moment.
My, my, a conservative that has actually read the New Testament... Gingham isn't all bad, it seems.
Though, that stupid "alt-left" thingy drags her down again. IF there is something that could be called the "alt-left", it might be that the US politics only have two parties that would both be seen as right-wing in most other countries. By having a supposed right-wing party as "left", it's a sort of an "alternative left"... But that's probably very far from what Gingham means.
White Indians and hoplites and goblin-women, oh my!
Why are Fake-Nose-Glasses Guy and Labelled Kamala silent?
@Citizen Justin:
So that's what's supposed to be going on? It all makes sense now!
Actually, no, it still doesn't. Especially Goblin Girl's comment (or why she seems to be so enthusiastic to go to Hell).
@ Dr. Razark
Now, I'm just wondering what this is supposed to mean.
It means milieu staff needs to take away Mick's crayons again.
@ Citizen Justin
Honestly, Jack Chick's art wasn't terrible. He was a terrible human being with terrible views, but he was unfortunately skilled enough as an artist to get those views into the lives of millions of people. Particularly children, who are more likely to find his cartoonish style appealing, more susceptible than most adults to the imagery of fire and brimstone, and could easily pick up his tracts in bathrooms where "evangelists" frequently leave them.
It's worth noting that he specifically mentions children being sent to Hell in some of his comics. Their appeal to kids isn't an unintended consequence. He had an intended audience for his tracts, and the caricatured, cartoonish style gives you an idea of who it was. I get rid of these things when I see them left in public places like that (where they're technically litter anyway) not to be an edgelord, but because these things can cause real pain for children who struggle with undiagnosed anxiety and who might not be willing or able to tell a parent what's bothering them. They did for me, and I know that they hurt a lot of other people.
Oh yea, she's all for feeding the poor (as long as it doesn't involve welfare), housing orphans (as long as they only go to straight Christian parents), caring for widows (but only as long as they're straight, cisgender Christians)...
Don't act like you have kindness or empathy, LC. We all know you're just a Pharisee and a hypocrite, just like Mick.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
