Meet Vanessa, Nour & Ashley, the characters of my new comic that you will see every month in ELLE Oriental magazine. They’ll be discussing the month’s topic of the magazine from 3 different perspectives. They represent the different faces of the modern Arab women.

This month’s topic is love & sex. Click on the image to view it in full size. (!) Text by ELLE Oriental editorial team.
And let’s not break the tradition, I wish you a beautiful day with this song by Cat Power “Empty Shell”. Enjoy…

Really nice graphics and sense of humor, one thing though: Nour was raised in Qatar or in the Emirates? Top of page says one thing and bottom of page says another. Sorry, don’t mean to be picky:)

Why Nour, the girl with the scarf, has to be the one with the dark skin? Kinda reminds me of Disney approach
.
Lebnan
Really cool comic!! I loved it.
Are the three ladies supposed to be Lebanese? or is each one representing a different Middle Eastern Country?
Chadi
You confused us Maya.
At first Nour grew up in Doha, Qatar but then Nour, 25 ans, est avocate. Elle a grandi aux Emirats…
But I loved it
