Belgian advertising illustrator Guy Peellaert was one of the first cartoonists to embrace Pop Art and incorporate Andy Warhol's appropriation of mass market iconography into his work. His first comic, Les aventures de Jodelle, (Jodelle's likeness modelled after yé-yé chanteuse Sylvie Vartan) appeared in 1966, swiftly followed by 'Pravda la Survireuse' (her likeness based on Françoise Hardy) for the magazine 'Hara-Kiri' in 1967.

Somewhat NSFW, more so if you click on the comics to see larger versions....
Also, this is the guy who did David Bowie's 'Diamond Dogs' LP cover. Huh.
I know there is a sterotypically nasally, smart, urban jewish persona seen in media, like Sandler or Adam Goldberg or maybe Sarah Silverman, but all jews aren't like that and that persona itself doesn't mean someone's a jew--c.f. Penny Marshall.
Is Cincinnati chili controversial?
ALL chili is controversial, but Cincinnati-style seems to incur more purist wrath than other varieties.

Cool! Peellaert did the Rock Dreams book in the seventies, IIRC.
My condolences about your grandfather, Anne.

Oh, absolutely. I have been distracted by more than one New Yorker in that regard. But "bubbly blonde" isn't a Jewish stereotype, as far as I know.
Maybe he thinks that because she played a totally formulaic J.A.P in "Privare Benjamin"? But that was, you know, a character.
There is ASL poetry. I've seen some videos of it -- it's really neat. The rhythm goes into the signs, and there's a form of rhyme in choosing signs with similar movements.
There's also ASL acrostic, which looks incredibly cool -- they tell a story using, in order, signs with handshapes for each letter.
Remember the giant pink bunny in Italy that we talked about a few years ago? (It resulted in a COMM.) Here you can see it in a photo from space: [link]
Score! Naptime has lasted long enough for me to upload & name a bunch of new pictures.
