| | There is one particular panel in the comic where you can briefly see a Jewish person, an older gentleman who appears to be a Hasidic Jew, walking hand in hand with a child, also a Jew wearing traditional Hasidic clothing. What catches my attention is that they are depicted as mice. I know that depicting Jews as rats or mice is an antisemitic trope. But I also know there are works about the Holocaust, like “Maus” by Art Spiegelman, in which Jews are depicted as mice, but with a different connotation, but I don’t know what to think of this particular case. Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees is an horror graphic novel written by Patrick Horvath. This graphic novel follows Samantha, the small-town bear who lives a double life. By day, she’s the helpful hardware store owner; by night, she’s a serial killer with one rule—don’t murder the locals. But when another killer arrives, disturbing her peace, Samantha’s cozy cover risks unraveling in some very bloody ways. submitted by /u/reddituser0108 |
