Flattop Jones


Flattop Jones Sr. is a fictional character created by cartoonist Chester Gould for his Dick Tracy  detective newspaper comic strip.  Jones was a vicious contract killer loosely based on the American bank robber Charles Arthur “Pretty Boy” Floyd (1904-1934).  Flattop was drawn with a deformed skull which was completely flat on top.   Obviously, Jones was an exaggerated caricature of evil;  he just looks evil and he would kill you without a thought if someone paid him to do so.


One problem with evil is that often it does not look “evil.” Many times it is attractive, seductive, pleasant,  lucrative, even … beautiful.  2 Corinthians 11:14 says that Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. A “light angel” γγελον φωτός.
