this one's old, but new to me and an enjoyable read:

I noticed that the elderly gentleman on the back row was now talking with a few people in the aisle. I heard one of them say, “It’s a pleasure to meet you, sir.” I took a closer look at him. He had white hair, glasses, and was wearing white dress shirt and dark slacks. There was a tope-colored blazer in the seat next to him, and he had a fancy gold wristwatch (a Rolex?)—the kind that you could afford to wear if you’d sold half a billion tracts.
If I was Chick, what would I say to him? The apologist in me would have loved to debate him theologically. A big part of me would want to ask him futile questions like “You don’t really believe all that stuff you publish, do you?” But I decided that the most charitable thing I could do would be to simply be nice to him and chat, showing him that Catholics can be kind.
Moving a few seats closer to him, I heard him tell the people: “We got started about forty years ago . . .” Doing some quick math in my head, I realized that was when Chick Publications began.
I moved to the seat next to him (well, technically, next to his jacket), and when the well wishers moved on, I said “Excuse me, sir. Are you Jack Chick?”
“I am he replied,” smiling warmly. “What’s your name?”
“Jimmy Akin,” I replied. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, sir.”
