Joe Kubert’s Jewish Kids Comics from 1984
I was looking through the Chabad of Oregon website, and came across a series of Jewish-themed kids comics by Joe Kubert, entitled “Yaakov & Issac.” The comics themselves are too moralistic and religious-school-lessons in approach for my taste, but the art, as you’d expect from Kubert, is lovely. Here’s a sample:
Worth a look if you’re a big Kubert fan.

Nice morality and all. Except. What if Isaac actually noticed that next to the bird was her nest. In that case, Yaakov was clearly WRONG since Isaac in fact was performing mitzvah of driving off the mother bird. In fact, of all the Torah’s 613 mitzvot, Driving Off the Mother Bird is clearly one of the most difficult to understand. A considerable amount of rabbinic thought went into why and what the process is about.
Be that as it may, I get your point about the heavy undertone of the Chabadnik hand.
