Is that a gleam of hope or...?

This drawing was originally published on the Iraqi newspaper as-Sabah al-Jadid.

Man to the right: Maybe I'm seeing a ray of hope...
Man to the left: Nope... It's just the smoke of my cigarette...

Dear Skylark, I liked your blog alot and injoyed its various colourful contents, and was surprised that you had read the iraqi newspaper AL SABBAH AL JADEED....

well am iraqi and did not think that iraqi newspapers are read outside iraq...

About your translation to the word اورث" AUARITH " which came in the drawing .. it does not mean in iraqi SMOKE as you said... it means the spark of fire wich comes from the lighter...

with my best wishes...

yours SAMI

Dear Sami, I received this drawing, among others, via email. I picked up this one because it seemed both less controversial and more enlightening than the others.

I apologize for the poor translation. My Arabic is still shaky, unfortunately.

I am glad that you appreciated the content of this blog and I look forward to hearing from you again. Your feedback is really appreciated.
