Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

That it's really ridiculous to try and excuse it. And being a greedy capitalist out to stop socialism also tracks.
The rest of it, about purity culture and Aryan perfect women I could be convinced are wrong, because I'm out of effort to look it up. But super coincidence then, amirite?
But claiming he's not Jewish is exactly like the excuses from Rowling about her money loving, hooked nose, big eared, greedy, bank running, goblins.
The anti-semitism caricature is fair enough, whether deliberate or not, but I don't believe it really goes any further beyond that on politics. Community values are only a dogwhistle for socialism to extremely selfish nutbags completely brain rotted by Ayn Rand, and those people love shitposting about communist conspiracies in children's media. By all accounts the creator was uninterested in politics beyond whatever internalized bigotry he had going on.
