   This independent comic was released by established PNW comickeer Donna Barr for the 2017 winter season. The excerpts provided above are provided for academic purposes and for the sake of providing an informed review. The art in this comic is quintessential modern Barr. I am especially impressed by the note on the endpage that explains this comic was done in freehand. There are very few artists who are able to draw elk, rhinoceroses, and most particularly these beautiful horses without so much as an underlying sketch. The animals are vivacious and expressive. Every page exemplifies her strong compositional sensibilities. I was also taken by the non-linear structure in which case footprints may appear on the page prior. This zine can be enjoyed by any route the reader selects, even right-to-left, as may be more comfortable for those who are accustomed to Eastern comics. As such, there is a range of potential page orders and a reader can explore. The reader is free to find their preferred narrative mode. The metaphors in this zine range from the familiar to the exotic. While everyone has seen a bear, it is not everyone who considers the unique perspective of the metaphorically Jewish rhinoceros. That said, there is a perhaps overly equine dimension to most of the animals we see. Though there are Jewish birds and fish, we are not given insight into the challenges of the Jewish invertebrate. That said, it is comforting that she remembered to be broad-based in this respect, as we often see a preponderance of mammals in "animal-metaphor" works such as Animal Farm and The Animals of Farthing Wood. The binding is well-done for a small run comic. The printing is crisp and the yellow cover stock is sturdy. The construction of this zine means it can last without special handling instructions. The zine itself is 12 pages, not including the front and back (which present the title and the author information, respectively). Animal Jews by Donna Barr, 2017 They're $2 ea plus s/h ($5 in the USA for any amount of zines I think) to donnabarr01@gmail.com if you would like a copy yourself.

I recommend this comic for artists, indie comics enthusiasts, and as a most exceptional white elephant gift exchange selection.

Animals aren't circumcized and thus cannot be Jewish.

Also comparing Jewish people to animals is problematic, to say the least.

She also invited the creator of Antique White House to her small comic-con, which is amazing, because "Diana Kennedy" loves JFK* like Donna Barr loves Rommel. I don't know what that way is because I am not sure it can be explained with words that we can understand. *a version of JFK that rides horses on the moon and has married multiple elves Pick fucked around with this message at 22:41 on Dec 22, 2017 |

how does she square the Jewish horses with the well-established Barr fact that all centaurs are Nazis?

These read like those parody comics Alan Moore would put in-between chapters of the league of extraordinary gentlemen, only the punchline is that the author is a crazy woman. Well, Alan Moore is crazy too but he found better cover.

That brings up an "interesting" question of what constitutes a foreskin on a horse and how, or how much, you would remove it.
