“I want something like Bibleman, but cooler. And for Jews.”
Jeff wasn’t sure how the rabbi had heard of Bibleman. “So, you want me to create . . . Torahman?”
“No, that’s too stereotypical. I want something original. And tougher. How about The Maccabee?”
“Okay.” Jeff didn’t know how to draw a Maccabee. “Does he throw stars of David?”
“Sure.”
“And his sidekick could be Dreidl Boy.”
The rabbi frowned. “That seems stereotypical.”
“Does he kill people?”
“No! He just teaches kids about Judaism.”
“He teaches? So he’s basically. . . Torahman then.”
The rabbi looked deflated. “Fine, Torahman. And stick Dreidl Boy in there too.”
When I finished writing this, I did a Google search and apparently there is a Torahman already, although his sidekick is called Mitzvah Boy. It seems you can’t make this stuff up.
