SCI: The Jewish Comics Anthology #2
"Richard of Pomegranates" is a quietly surreal tale from *SCI: The Jewish Comics Anthology #2*, written by Daniel Gold and illustrated by Shane Kirshenblatt, whose distinctive art brings a dreamlike quality to the story’s peculiar journey. When Dr. Schmoyel worries about hosting his family for Passover, his rabbi offers an unusual solution—inviting increasingly disruptive creatures into his home, turning the celebration into an escalating, almost absurd trial of patience. The cover by Andrew Thomas captures the story’s offbeat tone, making this a standout entry in the anthology’s exploration of Jewish life and lore.
