A different kind of cartoon.

[superisis]

I'd like to globalize the cartoon presented on this forum a tad. So here goes:

Persepolis

 

[Maniacal]

I like that, it's good, link?

 

[The Person]

She makes a valid point. Why hide your body when people can just stop looking at it?

 

[LLXerxes]

Lol... it's funny and it makes a point.

@ super: Are these by that same Palestinian graphic novelist, whose name totally escapes me right now? Either way, they are very on the button and funny to boot!

the cartoon says 1979 revolution so it sounds like iran, but of course it could be a palestinian girl living in iran.

ehh. from the link posted:

Marjane Satrapi dazzled us with her heartrending memoir-in-comic-strips about growing up in Iran during the Islamic Revolution.

some more info, same site:

Marjane Satrapi was born in 1969 in Rasht, Iran. She grew up in Tehran, where she studied at the Lycee Francais before leaving for Vienna and then going to Strasbourg to study illustration. She currently lives in Paris, where she is at work on the sequel to Persepolis and where her illustrations appear regularly in newspapers and magazines. She is also the author of several children's books.
