    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 :-( .

    Really cool comic!! I loved it.

    Are the three ladies supposed to be Lebanese? or is each one representing a different Middle Eastern Country?

    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 :)

    mmm do not know what to think about the content though. Is it supposed to be sarcastic? and if not I am not sure if I should be thinking “stereotyping”… hmmm
