The Plot, by Will Eisner

Will Eisner's final work was a "graphic novel"; THE PLOT, The Secret Story of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It is far from his best work. This type of story, while I'm thankful that it is now told simply enough that even someone who believes in the veracity of The Protocols will understand it, doesn't lend itself to the comic book - uh - I mean "graphic novel"format.

The thing is, Jew-haters will always find a way to believe in it no matter how many ways it's demonstrated that The Protocols are a clumsy forgery. As Eisner points out in the story and as Umberto Eco points out in the introduction, some Jew-haters even admit The Protocols are not the real thing. They excuse the phoniness of the document with the retort that (I'm paraphrasing here) that, are you ready for this? - "OK, it's a fake, but it's an accurate description of how the Jews think."

Get it? Fake! But! Accurate!

That's as far as I'm going with this. We've been down this road before.
