He's most famous for creating an [[Anti-Semitism|anti-Semitic]] caricature known variously as “Happy Merchant,” “Shlomo Shekelstein,” or “Jew bwa-ha-ha” that has become popular for Internet memes made by white supremacists. It appeared in one of his cartoons, where he promotes a world without Jews and blacks and has subsequently been frequently edited for meme use. The character also appeared on a poster in [[Resistance Records]]' video game ''Ethnic Cleansing'' under the name “Shecky Rubenstein.”

Some of his other cartoons have also inspired parody edits, which often have meanings distinct, or even directly opposite, from the original intent. Most infamously, illustrations by popular conservative political cartoonist [[Ben Garrison]] have been edited to include Mann's characters, leading some to believe that Garrison was a neo-Nazi(~~he is~~ not, ~~and~~ in ~~fact made cartoons denouncing the creators of these edits~~)

Most infamously, illustrations by popular conservative political cartoonist [[Ben Garrison]] have been edited to include Mann's characters, leading some to believe that Garrison was a neo-Nazi (despite not supporting it at the time, he would later embrace such edits in future strips).
