Back in schooldays I used to get offered a lot of Jack Chick tracts.

I'd glance at them and then leave them on the schoolbus or somewhere. I recall that the Chick publications pretty much hate anyone or anything that isn't Jack Chick (e.g., Catholics, hippies, feminists, role-playing gamers, homosexuals, leftists, and more). I also have met several people who base their theology on these easy-to-read tracts. So here's my question for anyone knowledgable: has Chick Publications ever made a pronouncement on Mormonism? I'd be stunned if they haven't. Anyone?
