==Overview==
The "story", if you can even call it that, involves an Aryan boy named Billy who is adopted by the Rothsteins, a Jewish family. As befitting for the kind of work this is, the Rothsteins are portrayed as greedy, big-nosed, and at the center of an International Jewish Conspiracy. However, due to the terrible artstyle, the Jewish characters more resemble cartoon vampires than the Le Happy Merchant look the creators were going for, which is especially noticeable in the Halloween strip where they dress up as vampires (which also gives the artist another excuse to be lazy, not that he needed one of course). The main problem with the story, however, is that it's just really boring. Despite constantly alleging conspiracies, very little of it is actually shown and it just leads to being a bland regurgitation of neo-Nazi talking points. What makes it worse is how even ignoring his bigotry, Billy is just a really unlikable character, as he is a petulant, abusive bully, and he comes across as less likeable than his Jewish family, who are intentionally written to be unlikeable.The Good, Bad and Ugly of Webcomics, Out of the Quicksand archived 31 August 2023 It doesn't help that many of the Rothsteins' "evil" actions, such as supporting LGBTQ+ equality, civil rights, and donating to fight AIDS in Africa, only look bad if you subscribe to the extreme neo-Nazi views of the creator. But what makes the comic particularly infamous is the horrible art. The art is incredibly lazy and doesn't have any color, and in one comic that is supposed to critique affirmative action, Billy's dad gives all his dark-skinned workers a raise, but because there is no color or even shading it looks like he's giving everyone a raise.My Dad doesn't lilke racists very much. Billy the Heretic archived 21 December 2021 In another, Billy and his father are supposed to be reading newspapers, but the artist just draws their heads floating above the newspapers.My dad moved most of his manufacturing companies overseas., Billy the Heretic archived 9 June 2023 It says something when even people who like Ben Garrison and Stonetoss don't take this stuff seriously.
