Autumns Cleaning - The Silent Leaders (2020)

The sectarian parties are the physical manifestations of the Lebanese civil war and social disconnectedness and the source of all our woes. Time for an overhaul, to dust up our flag and country and remember our roots as a united people, revolting, dancing, and building a country together in the watchful shade of our Cedar.

The Blehs (2018-Ongoing)

The Blehs are amorphous creatures leading a perpetually misfortunate existence, in a world where happiness is fleeting and misery is right around the corner. I made this dark humor comic as a cathartic endeavour to take a satirical look at my failings and misgivings, as well as society’s in general.
