''[[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 <s> halfway to the Urals</s> in [[wikipedia:Moravia|Moravia]]. But all is not as it seems at Familienwald University, not least between the troubled rector and his enigmatic librarian daughter.
Read it [http://www.lutherlevy.com/ here] (although it has been on hiatus since mid-2017). 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. See also the earlier, [[Alternate Continuity]] comic ''[[Bite Me! (webcomic)||Bite Me]]'' by the same author, which also features Luther and Lucien. {{spoiler|And spoilers!!!}}

* [[Adorkable]]: Luther
* [[Christmas Cake]]: Ariana can't be more than 30, but she's considered a spinster by the standards of the time; Luther initially calls her by "frau" instead of "fräulein", assuming she must be married at her age.
