I am currently working on my thesis in Middle Eastern studies, and also a huge lover of comics. So I was thrilled to see a title like "Habibi" on a graphic novel... I am curious about your approach to the calligraphy - can you read and write Arabic yourself, or are you approaching these as drawings, and copying the shapes in the abstract? I had the opportuninty to attend a talk with Islamic calligrapher Mohammed Zakariya (an american convert who designed the "eid" postage stamp) yesterday. Is he an influence on your work at all?

I just read Blankets this morning. Really beautiful and amazing, it made my heart hurt in both the good and bad ways, I had a really similar upbringing. Thanks for capturing it like you did. PS - You're lucky to have some good celebrities to share your birthday, I only have Joe Pesci and the mom from Who's The Boss! Happy late birthday. I just read Blankets this morning.

Many of my students who read Blankets last year (and graduated fron a rural highschool in Northern Vermont) have since friended me on facebook (of all things!) and want to know what to read next and when Habibi is scheduled to come out. I always tell them to read your blog, and many do . . . Happy belated birthday, and here's to inspiration! I just wanted to say that you are quite obviously a driven man and an inspiration.
