Dave Sim Secret Project #1: Judenhas

Dave Sim's got a website for his other current project, entiteld Judenhass, German for anti-semitism or, literally, Jew-Hate.

A 48 page single issue, out in May.

Why do you think Jew hatred didn’t transmit itself to you?

Because of comic books. Superman was created by Jews. Batman was created by a Jew. Will Eisner who was my absolute idol as a writer-artist was a Jew. It was unthinkable for me to harbour any ill will towards Jews. They created the comic-book field and the comic-book field—prior to my coming to believe in God ten years ago—has always been the most important thing in my life.

edit: Previews are available in PDF and web based.

Apparently, Napanee based rural yahoo Randy Hillier's Ontario Landowners Association managed to squeeze 100 of their borderline psychotic* membership into the PC leadership review. Tory's Tories had chosen Hillier as a candidate because they felt he would have drawn enough Tory voters away if he'd run as an independant to cost them the seat. The gained the seat, and in the process dropped a viper in their laps.

Urbanization just never moves fast enough for me.

BTW, does everyone think I dislike this one too?
