Well hello there. Next month's theme is IMITATION. We're looking for written and visual work that has to do with mimicry, replication, re-enactment, dramatization, novelization, repetition. Not to mention: camouflage, fakes, counterfeits, “authenticity,” “reality.” Send your stuff here, and thanks. ♥
YES.

Log in to replyI love this! I’m a Muslim so I can totally relate
Log in to replyI live in NYC and a lot of my friends are Muslim, so I really appreciate this.
Log in to replyUGH I love the “IM NOT GETTING MARRIED” panel, Samira’s face looks soooo “badass bitch”, it’s something I feel every day -___-
this comic strip kind of reminded me of sam shanahoys short film “skate bitches” in the way it adresses these girl hate problems in a kind of detached way. I really like suzy’s and sam’s work but i feel like these works are just driven by a thought along the lines of “make some art that shows why girl-hate is bad” and it feels kind of two-dimensional to me. I feel like a depth can be added and emotions can be explored – not only the emotions of the characters in your creations, but the emotions of the viewers, you know? I’m struggling with that kind of thing right now, but it’s something that makes me easily separate “omg this is so great ugh i’m drooling everywhere” kind of things from “huh that’s fun” kind of things.
it’s not “bad” or “good”, i guess, more of a personal preference. anyway keep up the good work, some of your comics do make me want to forward them to ALL my friends.
i don’t really know what i’m talking about anymore hrrmmmm okay

Log in to replyi like it, looks nice. But i don’t get the point it’s true that we go to the Mosque on Fridays and girls are not forced to go to Mosque nor to wear scarf on Fridays, if they choose to wear it they have to put it on all the days of the week. it’s about choice and the choice that the girl did, i don’t think it does even exist in real live !
Log in to replyI’m so sorry if I got something wrong! I consulted some friends who are practicing Muslims while drawing this. A friend of mine said she only wears her scarf on the days she goes to the Mosque. Seeing as Samira usually doesn’t wear one, it seemed fitting.
I wanted to present a situation in which Samira was unfortunately too embarrassed about her religion to discuss it with her band mates. But alas, they scheduled practice on the same day as the service. Samira, in her rush to practice, forgot about her scarf and had to face their ignorant comments. I apologize if anything I illustrated was inaccurate or unclear.
Log in to replyBut in order to go to the mosque, you have to wear a head scarf to show respect
Log in to replyAwsome!
Log in to replyI wish everybody was respectful of every culture. Great comic strip :)
Log in to replylove this!! <3
Log in to replythe last panel was really sweet, awh
Log in to replyI really liked this comic. I live in a city in a Muslim country that’s pretty international and liberal so I can understand the issue at hand. I loved how the comic managed to tackle such a sensitive and relevant issue in just a few frames! Well done Suzy X, this is amazing :D
Log in to replywhere do u live? i live in beirut so i can relate to this as well
Log in to replyHahahah! Amazing! My family’s Muslim, so I can definitely relate.
Log in to replyI really can’t see the point of the comics except being politically correct. This situation could possibly happen in real life, ok, but aren’t comics suppose to be good and not just educational?
Log in to replyThe drawings are beautiful, though.
Building a character’s background in a way that is relatable to readers, showing how they interact with each others and have something happening at last! Plus, it could possibly happens in real life, like you said… It’s better than the precedent comics, IMO, it’s just sad the conflict was resolved so fast.
