Matthew Hess has created a new comic book series titled Foreskin Man, which follows the adventures of a tight-clad superhero protecting infants from circumcisions performed by his arch nemesis, Mr. Mutilator.
Hess is part of a group advocating for the legal protection from circumcisions for boys, who are defenseless from circumcisions performed every day on thousands of baby boys in the United States. Myself, I just think it’s funny that this actually can be purchased and mailed to your home.
Read the entire comic online here.

I think it’s unfortunate that the villian looks like a monster. The doctor who would deprive your infant of the most pleasure-receptive part of his genitals looks just like your other friends and neighbors.

This whole thing is just coded anti-Semitism.

More self righteous hippies sticking their noses in other people’s business to make sure we all live by their agenda; which unsurprisingly is kinda pervy – and anti-Semitic.

Could they possibly have put less thought into the name? How about The Scarlet Prepuce?

better than self righteous jews doing the same thing! maybe you guys could actually read it and post an informed comment instead of just being ignorant and assuming this is 100% about jews?

I myself am a victim of “Male Genital Mutilation” that while not as severe as the feminine version is still something that just takes something out of your life, all so “Letter of the law” religious lunatics and “Anti-Sex” moralists cant pretend they do something good.
I’m all for, simply put, making such a thing illegal for an infant. Once they turn 18, or 16 considering all the “Piercing Factories” walking around, they can modify their body how they feel is right. The only “Downside” IMO to the Jews is that most of these youths would insist on a REAL doctor with a “Medical Degree” not these bizzare specialists that frankly (apologies) creep me out worse than this caricature.
I like from the other comments how you guys play the “Anti-Semitism” card. You are wearing it out;-)

He sounds anti-Semitic and he sounds like a Pedophile.

Regardless of how crass, vulgar and generally inflammatory the comic book is, the real issue is the practice of circumcision. It is obsolete, unnecessary, and traumatic to the infant. It is a controlling practice that removes choice from the individual and programs members of the faith to accept it. Like much religious rituals, circumcision was borne of either an ancient necessity, superstition, or fear. It has no place in a free society. Questioning a forced mutilation tradition is not Anti-Semitic.

Next in line to protect SF’s children, is a ban on wet bathing until the infant is hold enough to hold up its own head. Pneumonia is the leading cause of infant mortality and anabaptists—as backers call themselves—claim the risk of aspirating bath water is too great, especially considering infants’ short airways and undeveloped immune systems. The bill contains no religious exemptions for baptism. Says anabaptist Claudia Yentser: “Those baptismal fonts are the worst! Tepid water sits in the font from the beginning of the service until the baptism, which for some churches can be over an hour! And the basins are rarely sterilized! Imagine how terrified the baby must be, not being able to swim! But this ballot initiative isn’t anti-Christian, many sects of Christianity postpone baptism until the child is old enough to speak for herself. Those other Christians just have to join the 21th century.”

The image shown above is not “Monster Mohel” – that character, however, looks just like a Nazi propaganda piece.

The comic parody, Smegna Man Gets Circumcised, (published at Smegmaman.com) is a lot funnier; has a great plot; and passes along sound information about the medical and cosmetic benefits of the procedure– and, in the end, the villains meet a very appropriate end.
