Wanda Sykes said something interesting on Oprah, that it is harder to be gay than it is to be black, I wonder if the same goes true for a middle eastern woman...
I would be interested in getting some figures on lesbianism in the middle eastern world. Does the Koran and Hadith actually adress such things? I am doing a study on Islam in my humanties class but we have only made it to the life of Muhammed so far.
Finally! A kick-ass, no-nonsense, non-stereotypical representation of a brown/Middle Eastern woman in a comic! She's neither 'seriously lapsed' & teaching future FBI agents Arabic (dtwof) nor a passive, servant-ish neo-colonial fantasy (as in this week's Curvy; tho the character in question seems to be more of a bio (mer)man). In any case, *love* it. (Any femme who can both call Jill on her !$%* *&* smile at the prospect of her reuniting w/ Chelle gets my vote!)

Wow, Jill has eyes! Does she look more like a boy with or without the shades? Either way, love the tomboy look! And wow, we got eight panels! And wow, we got a great mystery going! Sure must be fun knowing all of Paige's characters intimately, and knowing what's happening next week.
