Thanks for including me on this list! Just for those reading I've done other Jewish-related material since those comics (which are almost 10 years old at this point). I invite anyone interested to check out my Web site, www.josheiserike.com. My current project- "A**holes"- features two Jewish protagonists. It's very offensive style humor, in the vein of Judd Apatow/Seth Rogan movies.
