B727 failed to intercept the sbj 100 degree radial while flying the arthur kill SID with the parke transition out of ewr. Reporter says the chart of this new SID is complex and hard to read. A later revision makes it much clrer that the radial is to be intercepted.

Narrative:
New procedure on the arthur kill 1 departure out of ewr. Now it says to intercept a radial, instead of hold heading. I didn't read the whole departure text for our transition. ATC corrected us and said we were not the only culprits to make this mistake since the new procedure came out. Suggest that text be added to ACARS clearance or to tower's takeoff clearance to intercept the solberg 100 degree radial on departure. Perhaps chart could be made more readable as well.
