Hey. If you’ve checked in the last few months you would have noticed this blog has stopped updating. Yes, I’m done with it. 👹 But the strip is going to be archived, so it needs a proper sendoff :)  I might start up something similar, outside of tumblr, one day... In any case I hope to keep creating and learning about comic making. And some day, it may become possible for me to share them again.  Thanks to anyone who supported it, and If you’re new here, maybe you’ll find a few comics to be interesting.

Aside from the distinctive Arabic print on the top edge of the book “Recursive Sequence 2″ by Islam Aly displays the stylistic and varied representations of the Arabic letter “ض” (Dhaad, transliterated loosely). The different styles of “ض” are reminiscent of the scripts found in the Qur’an, mosques, street and bus signs, shops, universities, and advertisements in the Middle East, North Africa, and other Arabic speaking countries. After browsing through the book, the variation of styles also seems to give a nod to pop culture.
