Ok but can we not depict a Jewish person as a lizard person. Lizard people are an antisemitic conspiracy

While I'm with you on that, I am definitely getting more of a "sneaky snake" vibe from this comic, personally.

Fair, maybe I’m just being a bit over cautious here as I’ve noticed a huge rise in antisemitism over the past year or so and would rather err on the side of not risking coming off as such

That's fair and I've sadly noticed it too. I've recently learned what triple brackets mean.

I still see lizard people as like a crazy molemen theory or bigfoot, not Jewish people. I think the response in this thread shows the majority of people, even those quite online, don't see that connotation to it either and bringing attention to it could make it worse.
