Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Family Man is the story of Luther Levy, a Pietist by upbringing, half-Jew by heritage, and possible atheist by belief, living in what is now Germany in 1768. After alienating his wealthy patroness and being expelled from university for daring to turn in a paper essentially asserting that everything most people believe about God is false, Luther has little choice but to accept an acquaintance's offer of a job as a theology lecturer in an obscure university in Moravia. But all is not as it seems at Familienwald University, not least between the troubled rector and his enigmatic librarian daughter.Read it here. Comes complete with its very own notes section, in which the author recounts all the cool research she did in order to make everything historically accurate. The entire comic, in terms of art and writing, is not only beautifully done, but extremely accurate to the place and period. Lovers of history and fantasy should be pleased. Also of interest may be the author's earlier, more comedic webcomic Bite Me!, which also features Luther and Lucien; Family Man is something of an Alternate Continuity prequel.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Despite of the title, it has nothing to do with this trope. Not to be confused with Family Guy.On hiatus as of June 2017. A mirror of the comic can be found here.

As explained in the FAQs, this is in part The Artifact from Bite Me!. Luther had a long nose in that comic too, but it wasn't really because he was Jewish; it was because he was a werewolf.

Dean Bitterman: Averted in that while the cast page describes him as "bitter," Rector Nolte seems to have taken a liking for Luther; though it has been implied that you don't want to get on his bad side.

Gratuitous German: Averted, apart from a few very minor mistakes. (It should be "Guten Morgen...")

Gag Nose: Luther, his father, and his twin brother all have very noticeable noses that are just big enough to seem unrealistic while not big enough to cause real distraction. Looks like the other Jews got 'em, too. As explained in the FAQs, this is in part The Artifact from Bite Me!. Luther had a long nose in that comic too, but it wasn't really because he was Jewish; it was because he was a werewolf. It's been implied that only Luther sees these noses this way.
