Panel 1: Drawing of a happy Palestinian couple at their wedding. There is a tall wedding cake in the background. Narration: Sami and his wife Muna had a beautiful summer wedding. Caption: Gaza, 2023. Panel 2: Five men link arms to form a line as they hop and stomp in sync. This is a traditional folk dance with origins in Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, Iraq, and Syria. Narration: We had a dabkeh band, which was a hit with the crowd! Panel 3: Sami and Muna, who holds a flower bouquet, ponder to themselves. Floating words surround them, which say “curtains?” “Paint color?” “Furniture?” And “accents?” Narration: Furnishing their house took a long time. Panel 4: A beautiful, ornate living room with four fancy upholstered couches. Multi-layered curtains adorn the far wall, and a chandelier hangs from the ceiling. Narration: The result was breathtaking.

Panel 5: The same living room is now rubble as a gaping hole now shows the neighboring building. In the corner, one of the upholstered couches still stands, covered in ash and debris. Narration: Today, nothing remains except one sofa. It's as if the house itself just evaporated.

A Comic for the Elawa Family.

[scribbles bordering a quote by youth activist Greta Thunberg] Quote: Once we start to act, hope is everywhere. So instead of looking for hope, look for action. Then, and only then, hope will come.

[The words “hope is an action” written nine times on a page of an old marble notebook]

[Drawing of Clem, masked and holding a sign that says “NY HEAT NOW!”. They are marching amongst many others.] Narration:I’ve been an activist since 2021.

[The drawing of Clem marching becomes a silhouetted scribble] Narration: I thought I’d be more prepared mentally.

[Drawing of Clem holding their smartphone as far from their face as possible, and only peeking through their fingers] Narration: But the collective panic and despair has been getting to me, kinda.

Narration: I know I need to get my hands moving, my feet stepping, my pen gliding- messy, loud, imperfect

[Ballpoint pen drawing of Clem who stares at the reader with a blank expression] Narration: My comics are allowed to be ugly.

[The drawing becomes looser and more scribbly] Narration: They elected a fascist so evil, I have no words to describe it.

[The drawing becomes mostly abstract] Narration: I very well may meet my demise at the hands of my own government.

[The drawing is now literally a scribble] Narration: So screw it. The U.S. plutocracy will always be uglier than my scribbles.

It's strange being on a platform where I have a very small audience again (Twitter doesn't count because people are extra evil on there and I deliberately didn't want a following). It's been years. Time to post ugly shit that I'd be too afraid to post on insta

Panel 5 Exterior of the tent. Shahid walks alone, away from the beachside tent camp and toward the ocean. The sky is filled with stars. Narration: I can’t sleep. Every night I sit alone in front of the stars. Panel 6 Close-up of Shahed and she gazes toward the sky and holds a hand to her heart. There is a shooting star in the distance. Narration: I don’t want to lose another child. It’s terrifying.

Panel 1 Heba, a cheerful little girl with curled hair, runs out the door wearing a backpack. She looks behind her and cheerfully waves to her mother, Shahed. She is holding a cloth sack labeled “extra food”. Narration: This is Heba, 10 years old, from Gaza. Panel 2 Heba kneels in an alleyway and feeds a cat some food from the sack. Narration: Every day on the way to school, she’d feed the cat in the street. Heba: Here you go! Panel 3 Close-up of Heba as she smiles next to a tuxedo cat. Narration: Her dream is to become a vet who helps stray cats and dogs. Panel 4 Scene switches to the interior of a tent. Amidst household items, a sickly Heba lays under a blanket as a concerned Shahed touches her forehead. From the top of the tent dangles a phone with its flashlight on, which is the interior’s only source of light.

Heba has $1,600 left to raise for her hepatitis treatment! 🧵 1/2
