San Francisco's anti-circumcision measure will be decided by voters in November, but the measure's proponents have already released some supporting literature that many claim is anti-Semitic.


Some say, for instance, that the men in the background in traditional Jewish garb look sinister, but I think they're being overly sensitive. Like this superhero comes off real well, with his chest logo looking less like an uncut dick than a floral harbinger of spring.


Indeed, the supposed hero Foreskin Man doesn't seem to be playing with a full deck. Monster Mohel "has his goons with him," he says, "which can only mean one thing." The man has no retinas, and is foaming at the mouth. He has claws. If he's alone, though, he might not be dangerous? Like maybe he'd just want to drop off some cookies, or share his new Train cd?

To folks seeing anti-semiticism, I see the opposite. Circumcision is traditionally performed eight days after a boy's birth. That means the Jewish Sarah got back to looking like a tramp in record time. I stay in bed longer after Fresh Direct comes. Her husband Jethro, meanwhile, is quite handsome. It's only when he admits he's pro-circumcision that he turns into Wolverine.

Still, it's odd Jethro couldn't think of a better plan. I mean, if you need to get your wife out of the house, couldn't you just tell her Barneys is having a sale?


Who comes off badly on this page? Well, ask yourself one question: which dude apparently bought his outfit the year Flashdance came out?


Sadly, the last page just raises more questions. On the back wall, is that a print of Miro's Two People Fucking While One Holds a Cactus? On the ground in panel two, when did Sarah find time to put on a blouse? Do mohels charge extra to bring clean scissors?

Still, one thing is clear: this story isn't anti-Semitic, because Foreskin Man comes off stupider than everybody else. He flies off holding an eight-day old kid like it's a canned ham. And really, Glick will be better off with these hippies? What happens when he gets separated from them and has to tell a cop that he lives under the giant dick banner on the beach? And why did Foreskin Man have to bean the mohel with an eight-ball? What's in his utility belt?

As somebody who's been there and done that, I'm pretty sure the answer ain't soap.
