To all the Lebanese people out there, I’m sure you’ve all noticed the EXTREME hike in entrance fees to all lebanese beaches and resorts. To all the non-Lebanese readers, in Lebanon we have a phenomenon whereby all the beaches are privately owned (all illegally of course, I mean, come on, how on earth do you own a beach?!).
As a result, they’ve all been turned into resorts, resulting in less and less affordable places for people to go and enjoy the summer sun. You can read more about it here: “Open letter to all beach resorts” !
Meanwhile, I’m going to go to the roof of our building, buy a big ass umbrella and kiddie pool, and spending my summer on the roof.
.
I once bought someones soul for a rare Pokemon card.
I sold mine for a Klondike bar!
haha, i remember doing that when we were young. But sadly, there is not a pool that is big enough for me, and small enough to fit at our house.
Can you imagine how funny it would be if you did get a kiddie pool with half your legs hanging out the other end?
I’m tempted to do it and post a picture of it
Sareen, you didn’t miss anything… See, you are a talented and very Smart cartoonist because in one cartoon you Summarized all the “what a heck” society exists in Lebanon.
Specially mentionning: No food, No drink, No Maid….
YES! I’m glad someone noticed the pictures in the background! I drew those on purpose! You’re awesome!
AWESSOME!
Thanks so much man!
The only good news for the guy is that while it’s going to cost his soul, it’s not costing him a literal arm and a leg.
Heehee good one!
He forgot to get his bathing suit
You mean give the guy his bathing suit?
hahaha Sareen!! yes this is exactly what happens! I’m starting to like your kiddie pool idea!
I’ll invite you over when I get it set up heehee
Why the beach is such a social status thing in Lebanon I will never know.
Wait, why can’t maids go to the beach? We dont have that rule. I don’t think.
Glad you picked up on that Gary. Last year a couple of beaches with horrible management refused to let in maids because they thought it might ruin their image and for their “rich clientele’. There was a huge outlash of people against those beaches.
That is Lebanon indeed :/ sad truth funny comic
Private pool on a rooftop would be fun.
Sadly but true, anw it cost less than any concerts or events tickets
Don’t forget to wear your little arm floaties
I would have thought the hot babe would have been enough. You know, to class up the place.
Ouch, that sucks. Everyone should be able to enjoy the beach.
If they could charge for air, they would.
Wow, does that ever suck.
That sucks indeed.
I mean, private beaches, not the comic, of course. The comic is great
Man, that’s not fair. I hope you can find a way to stay cool this summer.
Very creative sareen! Such annoying rules those resorts impose! Kiddie pool on the rooftop?? Cool
And btw… Many beaches wouldn’t allow you to swim in the “sea” (not their “pool”) if your swisuit covers up your whole body
