An abbreviated history of Libya
Young Qadhafi and the Coup
Free Libya
The struggle for Unity
Enjoy! God bless Qadhafi and god bless YOU
As to the content, it all seems well and good. My only real gripe is that I feel as though a lot of the details here were just made up. "Byzantine domination is going to last... I hope it will." was one such exchange. First of all, wouldn't these men have spoken Greek? It's standard comic practice to add an asterix and note the translation from another language, but here it seems as though these people are actually speaking English. Very confusing to the casual reader.
As to the later panels, I can't help but feel that they don't take a particularly objective viewpoint. As I read them I think, "Wow Qadaffi was really great, everything he did was excellent." but then I'm forced to consider, is there another side to this Qadaffi fellow that I'm not hearing? Not to play fast and loose with conspiracy theories, and I don't mean to impugn your comic in any way, I hope you'll keep drawing them and publishing stuff like this in the future. Best wishes.

wow
But this dream world of global acceptance wasn't going to last. Gaddafi had managed to redeem himself by manipulating a simplified vision of the world that was divided into goodies and baddies in such a way that he became a goodie. But that simple universe had a remorseless logic to it - and Gaddafi was about to be brought down and destroyed by that logic.
Western elites by now saw much of the world through that goodies and baddies prism, so when the Arab Spring began in 2011 it was simply understood as the uprising of the good people against the bad rulers. Two months later the Libyan people rose up against Gaddafi, and that mindset automatically saw the Libyan people as Goodies.
Which meant that Colonel Gaddafi must be a baddie. So everyone switched sides yet again, just like that. And the last dance began.
brilliant

actually the green book is brilliant and serves of the philosophical foundation of my nascent commune?
A breathy voice from off-camera recites the words from a book in a low, sultry tone.
Women are females and men are males. According to gynaecologists, women menstruate every month or so, while men, being male, do not menstruate or suffer during the monthly period. A woman, being a female, is naturally subject to monthly bleeding. When a woman does not menstruate, she is pregnant. If she is pregnant, she becomes, due to pregnancy, less active for about a year, which means that all her natural activities are seriously reduced until she delivers her baby. When she delivers her baby or has a miscarriage, she suffers puerperium, a condition attendant on delivery or miscarriage. As man does not get pregnant, he is not liable to the conditions which women, being female, suffer. Afterwards a woman may breast-feed the baby she bore. Breast-feeding continues for about two years. Breastfeeding means that a woman is so inseparable from her baby that her activity is seriously reduced. She becomes directly responsible for another person whom she assists in his or her biological functions; without this assistance that person would die. The man, on the other hand, neither conceives nor breast-feeds. End of gynaecological statement!
A knock is heard at the door, which simultaneously begins to open. AKBAR shoves THE GREEN BOOK under his pillow as his MOTHER enters. Numerous wet and sticky stains can be seen, the pages nearly having melted together.

Is that how you knock on someone's door mom?? Muhammed!!
It's sad that those people who should be interested (anarchists, syndicalists, occupiers, etc) are blinded by 1st world chauvinism or maybe the fear of success, and it's far too soon for the herd of intellectuals to approach the topic with scientific rigor. Basically I'm saying it's quite possible nothing exists, I'll accept that answer too.

it's to show time went by as the friends grew together, I noticed it too, because i'm observant, and then i figured it out, because i'm quick-witted
tentativelurkeraccount posted:what do your quick wits have to say about the fact that the other boys are wearing the same clothes as the previous panel?
^^^^^
This fancy ass fucker has friends with multiple sets of clothes. Disgusting
