Synopsis
In
this current political climate, being an Arab is a
hazard.
I
grew up in a unique position. I'm a half-Palestinian,
and spent my childhood in a thoroughly Arab household
before circumstances led me to live in a thoroughly
American one, quite different from what I was used
to. As a result, I spend much of my time thinking
of the "eastern" and "western"
cultures and how they must learn to coexist by realizing
how ultimately similar they are.
There
are many reasons why I decided to create this comic,
but one of my driving forces is the need to speak
out, because if I don't, who the hell will?
This
comic will be compiled of short stories about my childhood,
my current life, current events, past events, anything
relevant.
And
don't worry, everyone. I'll be sure not to make it
dry.
