Pox to you!



Al Kabob is still a work in progress and the last two strips are what he will be looking like from now on.
Al Kabob like so many in the Middle East live in a true paradox.  Even as change is happening all around them in the outside, they want to cling onto way their ancestors have lived.  They like some things of modern times while .  Television, the internet mobile phones and military weapons seem to be okay to Arabs and yet western form of dress are looked down on. 
Just as Arabs look at American sitcoms and think that this is how America is, what we see in movies of the Middle East gives us our perceptions of Arabs.  Hopefully my little strip will bring these things out in the coming years to come.
