Lebanese “hunting”

sareen — Mon, 16 Jan 2017 07:15:16 +0000

Today’s comic came to be through a collaboration between myself and the extremely talented and witty Claude el Khal, the writer/humorist/artist behind the insightful blog My Beirut Chronicles! A big thank you Claude for writing the joke to today’s comic! And to you dear reader, in case you’re not Lebanese (or a Lebanese living [...]

Lebanese Abroad vs At Home

sareen — Thu, 12 Jan 2017 07:06:21 +0000

The worst offender in this list is standing in line. Seriously, how hard is it to create a damn queue?

Three Seconds After Marriage

sareen — Wed, 16 Nov 2016 07:51:34 +0000

It’s not enough that Lebanese parents ask about this constantly, they also assume that there’s “something wrong” if couple want to wait first before having kids! Are you from a country where parents do this as well?

We have a new president…hooray I think?

sareen — Mon, 07 Nov 2016 07:02:18 +0000

I know I know I know, before I start getting comments I understand we have to be positive with the new president and prime minister (especially with an empty presidential seat for more than 2 years). I really do. But I’m just saying can we stop with the dancing in the streets and the “Zajal” [...]

What Lebanese Politicians Think About Women’s Rights

sareen — Wed, 24 Aug 2016 06:28:49 +0000

“What rights?! Look how beautiful they look! Why do they need rights?!”

A Guide for Lebanese Government Employees

sareen — Thu, 11 Aug 2016 06:15:51 +0000

Of course, this guide assumes you had enough wasta to actually GET a job as a civil servant!

Lebanese Proposals These Days

sareen — Tue, 02 Aug 2016 06:41:02 +0000

So this seems to be a new trend adopted from the west it seems. What are your thoughts? Any of you guys really believe those Facebook posts we keep seeing where she was completely surprised and he asked her out of the blue? An interesting blog post that explains it all from Beyond Beirut: She [...]

Lebanese in the Gulf

sareen — Tue, 26 Jul 2016 06:37:07 +0000

To the foreigners reading this, yes, Lebanese people are OBSESSED with meaningless “titles”.

If this movie happened in Lebanon

sareen — Mon, 13 Apr 2015 08:22:41 +0000

I think I’d totally watch this one! The staring as they’re stuck in traffic can get pretty intense! Meanwhile, I’m honored to say this post was a cross-collab between the highly talented and hilarious Karl Sherro and myself. Check out his hilarious article on Beirut to be turned into a parking lot! In other [...]

The ONLY Time Lebanese Religious Leaders Agree!

sareen — Mon, 23 Mar 2015 07:22:04 +0000

For all the foreigners reading, yes…we do NOT have civil marriage laws. The only way to get married without a religious organization is to travel to other countries (Cyprus being the most viable and cheap option) to get it done. And apparently it’s the ONLY thing religious figures agree on preventing! P.S there is one [...]

Women’s day? Yeah right…

sareen — Mon, 09 Mar 2015 07:33:40 +0000

I think that the media plays a huge role in how women are portrayed to the outside world. And how does the Lebanese media undertake this responsibility (Especially a day before International Women’s day)? Why, by kicking off a new show (Ikhwet khwet or something like that) about 3 brainless sisters who are exact copy [...]

I HATE Valentine’s Day

sareen — Mon, 09 Feb 2015 09:36:30 +0000

Ok so that’s not me saying the title of the post! It’s definitely the character Kareem! P.S so how bad are the rose prices this year?

Foreigner’s Guide to Gun shooting in Lebanon

sareen — Mon, 02 Feb 2015 07:08:20 +0000

Not to mention that gun shooting also happens at births! But don’t forget, if there’s no rocket launched, then it’s a baby girl that was born. I swear we live in a zoo….

Authentic Lebanese

sareen — Mon, 26 Jan 2015 07:41:20 +0000

I’m SO sick of seeing all these “trendy” foods popping up everywhere! What food is bothering you that’s in all menus right now?

How to Annoy A Lebanese Mom

sareen — Mon, 19 Jan 2015 07:35:26 +0000

By the way, how many of you dared to forget your tupperwares at work? It’s the scariest news to break to your mom!

Non-Smoker’s Revenge!

sareen — Mon, 15 Dec 2014 07:44:10 +0000

I vow to do this in every restaurant that allows smoking by bending the rules and letting the windows open. Just because you have a few glass curtain windows it doesn’t mean we’re not getting affected by the smoke for goodness sake! In other news, yesterday I found out that not only does my dad [...]

The GREATEST Distraction!

sareen — Mon, 24 Nov 2014 07:52:00 +0000

For the non-Lebanese, a few weeks ago there was a press conference in Lebanon held by the minister of health, listing which businesses and supermarkets had expired or diseased food. Which begs the question, how long have these places been poisoning us and how much was already known before it was all made public! Thankfully [...]

What to expect at a Lebanese beautician

sareen — Mon, 17 Nov 2014 07:36:38 +0000

This happens to me EVERY SINGLE time! I don’t even know why I bother anymore. Do these beauticians really think people WANT to look like this?!?!

What Lebanese Will Tell Their Grandkids in 50 years!

sareen — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 07:30:23 +0000

Any more you folks can add! Have a lovely Monday!

Our “greatest” Lebanese achievement

sareen — Mon, 29 Sep 2014 06:21:49 +0000

Before you guys complain, the point of the comic is definitely not belittling Amal Alamuddine. Goodness knows she’s a highly accomplished barrister in her own right. I just find it a shame that a lot of Lebanese people seem to ignore this and instead obsess over “celebrities” and appearances. Would any of us have even [...]

“Awesome” future advice dad!

sareen — Mon, 15 Sep 2014 07:35:36 +0000

Sorry but I agree with dad on this one. Edit: Hey guys, I don’t really agree with dad. I really do think love trumps all money! I was just being silly when I wrote that I agree with dad hehe!

I feel sorry for ALL parents

sareen — Mon, 08 Sep 2014 06:16:49 +0000

I keep hearing insane school costs and the above number is not an exaggeration. This is an actual number I heard for NURSERY! Can you believe it?!

Lebanese Guide to Complaining

sareen — Mon, 11 Aug 2014 06:17:44 +0000

For those of you who need a translation “kess ekht hal balad” can be summed up as f*ck this country although that’s not what it literally means. It’s literal definition is…somewhat confusing. P.S that awkward moment when you ask your dad to proof read and he corrects your spelling of “kess”. Thanks dad.

Oh my God you’re Armenian?!

sareen — Mon, 21 Jul 2014 06:20:11 +0000

Oh if you guys only knew the number of times I get asked these questions…

What REALLY Goes on in Lebanese Nightclubs

sareen — Mon, 14 Jul 2014 06:08:58 +0000

You’ve all seen those pictures of the “Beirut” nightlife, and what goes on in clubs, and how AMAZING it all is. Well…sorry to bust your bubble but here’s my take on it. P.S apparently I have NO idea how to draw faces that are SQUASHED together!

“Gambling” in Lebanon

sareen — Mon, 07 Jul 2014 06:22:58 +0000

Sorry if it’s too dark for a Monday morning! Have a safe week!

Oh God…it’s Wedding Season!

sareen — Mon, 30 Jun 2014 06:28:48 +0000

Dear brides, I promise we’re not jealous. We’re just broke by the time we make it to the wedding! Now can you imagine doing this 5 times in one summer?!

Lebanese CV Nightmares

sareen — Mon, 16 Jun 2014 06:19:22 +0000

On a “serious” note, what’s some weird things you’ve seen in ANY CV?

Lebanese women and eyebrows

sareen — Mon, 28 Apr 2014 06:20:31 +0000

I always resist the urge to yell “IT’S SO FLUFFY I’M GOING TO DIE!” whenever I see these women sporting these huge eyebrows! This comic is the ONLY explanation I can accept to WHY they heck they would this to themselves!

A Guide To Lebanese Politicians!

sareen — Tue, 22 Apr 2014 06:10:07 +0000

Foreigner’s Guide to the “Dabke” dance

sareen — Mon, 24 Mar 2014 07:14:06 +0000

Lebanon “Sucks”

sareen — Mon, 10 Mar 2014 07:22:49 +0000

I think we’re the only country that’s THIS bi-polar! Have a lovely week everyone!

You can’t play with him! He’s….

sareen — Mon, 17 Feb 2014 07:11:43 +0000

Is it sad that I know a LOT of parents that think this way? I bet some of you do too.

Driving safely in Lebanon

sareen — Mon, 03 Feb 2014 07:06:03 +0000

Sorry about depressing you guys on this Monday morning! But I really think this is the poster this country REALLY needs.

Killing Our Culture

sareen — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 07:38:02 +0000

A little over a week ago a library in Tripoli was burned because … well… to be honest I shouldn’t continue that sentence. There should be NO reason to burn down a library! Shame on those who have done this stupid act. There’s now a fund raising project that is trying to come up with [...]

New Years Eve Lebanon Vs the World!

sareen — Tue, 31 Dec 2013 07:23:03 +0000

Admit it, you’ve all at one point sat in front of the TV on New Year’s Eve, and listened to Michel Hayek “predict” the future and talk about a hurricane or something “huge” that’s going to happen in a big country. ADMIT IT! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!

When Lebanon Competes with Dubai

sareen — Mon, 09 Dec 2013 07:45:50 +0000

I’ve joked about this before on Twitter. I don’t understand this constant competition of Lebanon with Dubai and the constant comparison they try to make. Honestly, it’s hilarious. It’s as if Lebanese are always shouting out “Hey look at us, we’re so more awesome than you, look, LOOK, we have the biggest plate of hummus! [...]

TV crew beaten at Lebanese Customs Agency

sareen — Tue, 26 Nov 2013 17:27:11 +0000

When Phone Calls Go Wrong

sareen — Mon, 21 Oct 2013 06:20:06 +0000

When will those damn cell phone companies get their act together!? Please for the love of God, stop spending on advertising and fix your reception first! I swear my calls get dropped 5 times before I can say hello! Ok..rant over. Hope y’all have a great week!

You KNOW you’re a successful Lebanese when…

sareen — Mon, 14 Oct 2013 06:20:17 +0000

Can you guys add some more to the list? Have an awesome week everyone!

This is why we’re not smart!

sareen — Mon, 16 Sep 2013 06:17:22 +0000

For my dear non-Arabic speakers, should you ever decide to visit our beautiful country, the first phrase you’ll need to learn is “ma fi kahraba”, which means, there’s no power. That is all.

Ah yes the Lebanese “beauty” pageants

sareen — Mon, 02 Sep 2013 06:30:39 +0000

In case you’re wondering, that yellow mess in the top of the last panel were “supposed” to be hair extensions hehe. Have a wonderful week everyone!

The general mood in Lebanon after three explosions

sareen — Sat, 24 Aug 2013 07:29:20 +0000

I drew this comic last night with shaky hands. This morning I feel more hopeful. Call me naive or insane but I am. Within one week three car explosions took place in Lebanon. One in Dahye and twin bombs in Tripoli yesterday afternoon. All we can do is pray that Lebanon gets through this.

Why Some Lebanese Won’t Leave

sareen — Mon, 12 Aug 2013 06:24:15 +0000

I swear I think our country is the only one that throws congratulatory parties when someone gets a VISA! Have a great week everyone!

Lebanese Men At the Beach

sareen — Mon, 05 Aug 2013 06:34:31 +0000

So please gentlemen, if you look like you’re wearing a sweater at the beach, promise me you’ll trim a little OK? Because it’s not fair that us girls have to shave every inch of our bodies, whereas you can dip in the pool with your sweater hair floating all around!

Armenians can cause some trouble

sareen — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 06:30:01 +0000

I remember having a very awkward conversation once with someone. He asked me what “garotsa kezi” means. I told him it meant “I missed you”. However when I translated the phrase into Arabic I used the male gender term of “you”. He then had a very troubled angry look on his face. He turned and [...]

Plastic women

sareen — Mon, 22 Jul 2013 06:13:30 +0000

I can’t imagine how confused the poor girl must feel! Have a great Monday ladies and gents!

I don’t understand women…

sareen — Mon, 15 Jul 2013 06:15:20 +0000

Ok…that has got to be one of the weirdest comics I’ve ever drawn. I’ll go stand in my corner now. P.S. men, we really don’t like assholes, both FIGURATIVELY and LITERALLY.

A Lebanese Game: Who’s Happy?

Sareen — Mon, 24 Jun 2013 06:15:22 +0000

*Sigh* I’m not even going to bother going into details of the situation over here. Things have become more crazy lately (than usual). Hopefully it’ll settle down very soon! Meanwhile, today’s comic was drawn in a lot of pain so I really hope you appreciate it! I sprained my finger yesterday and even though [...]

Why she wants to be a Man!

Sareen — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 06:15:43 +0000

This topic has been bothering me for quite some time now. Equality at the workplace and the idea that just because women might have babies in their future is something that would hinder them from getting a promotion. It’s like saying that a man cannot get a promotion because he might have a skiing accident [...]

Talkin ’bout a Revolution

Sareen — Mon, 03 Jun 2013 06:15:14 +0000

Dedicated to Tracy Chapman, I’d like to link to her song with the same title.

Being a Hipster

Sareen — Mon, 20 May 2013 06:15:42 +0000

Take this comic as a warning my fellow Lebanese. Don’t follow all “hip” trends. Let’s just leave it at that.

Lebanon Vs Rest of the world

The “real meaning” of Palm Sunday

Sareen — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 07:15:59 +0000

Yesterday was Palm Sunday in many countries around the world as well as in Lebanon. Traditionally in Lebanon, Palm Sunday is the day where people give children these candles that are decorated with olive branches, and these children can hold these candles in church. However, over the years, there’s been a new trend of creative [...]

ANOTHER difference between men and women!

Sareen — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 07:15:34 +0000

Man..they kinda look evil in the first panel don’t they? Sheesh…

How Advertising Works

Sareen — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 07:15:31 +0000

I don’t want to sound all preachy here, but I’ve seriously found it SO annoying when boobs are used to advertise products that have absolutely nothing to do with them! Unless you’re selling bras, then stop using boobs, and start coming up with some CREATIVE advertising!

Lebanese Bloggers Reinvent the World!

Sareen — Fri, 01 Mar 2013 07:15:55 +0000

Surprise surprise! A comic on a Friday (again). Now you may be confused about the title of the comic so let me explain. The ministry of telecommunication is holding a competition called “Lebanese bloggers reinvent the world”. And the winner will accompany the minister Nicolas Sehnaoui to Silicon Valley! How cool is that?! So, since [...]

She just wants her rights!

Sareen — Mon, 28 Jan 2013 07:15:18 +0000

Look guys, before you say anything, you can’t judge Karen because she was only empathetic about the last piece of bad news. You don’t know how amazing Layla’s chocolate chip cookies are so don’t judge!

The Most AWESOME Way to Vote for Politicians!

Sareen — Mon, 21 Jan 2013 07:15:33 +0000

Come on guys, don’t you agree we should vote for these guys this way?!

Merry Armenian Christmas!

Sareen — Sat, 05 Jan 2013 11:44:13 +0000

As some of you might already know, today is the Armenian Christmas Eve, so YAY! Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Secret Santa (The FINALE)

Sareen — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 07:30:45 +0000

This is a very special comic to me ladies and gents. Not only is it the finale of the 5 series Christmas Special, it is also marks the 20oth comic! And as the 200th comic, I think it fits perfectly with what I love to draw best. Exploding Heads! I hope you’ve enjoyed the series [...]

A Formula for EVERY COMEDY SHOW in Lebanon

Sareen — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 07:15:46 +0000

A couple of weeks ago I went to a comedy show here in Lebanon. I swear I knew exactly where every joke was going and it just felt so …bla. There was absolutely NOTHING original and I just felt like every comedy show here in Lebanon follows the exact same formula above! Ugly male comedian [...]

Lebanese Independence Day

Sareen — Thu, 22 Nov 2012 08:35:52 +0000

Sorry for the HORRID quality but I did this in like 30 minutes! I hope you like it! Happy Independence day LEBANON!

Don’t EVER imagine them in their underwear!

Sareen — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 07:37:31 +0000

This past Saturday I gave a talk at the TEDxBeirut event about cartoons (duh)! WHAT A BLAST that was! The entire event was such an amazing experience. I want to take this chance to thank Patricia, the curator, for putting together this wonderful event and for giving us a chance to express our ideas. I also [...]

Why Lebanese Go To The Bathroom

Sareen — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 07:25:34 +0000

I’d be interested to know which rooms in the house do people in Lebanon have the best 3G signal? I know that in my case, if I’m using my phone in bed, and I’m sleeping on my right side I’ll lose my 3G connection as opposed to sleeping on my left. How ridiculous is that?

I’m Embarrassed

Sareen — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 06:46:22 +0000

Disclaimer: This comic was not created to show my political views on what;s going on in the country right now. I’m not saying I’m for or against the protesting that’s taking place. Having said that, I feel so sad to watch the news last night and see that what was supposed to be a funeral [...]

Today’s Ashrafieh Bombing

Sareen — Fri, 19 Oct 2012 19:39:12 +0000

This afternoon a car bomb exploded in the streets of Ashrafiehl. So many lives were lost. So many people were hurt whether physically or emotionally. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the people of Ashrafieh.

A Test All Guys Would Like?

Goood morning folks! Happy PINKTOBER! As you already know, this entire month is dedicated to raising Breast Cancer awareness. Ladies, get your boobs checked. Men, don’t be weird and stop offering to check our boobs for abnormal “lumps”. And I hope to God Breast Cancer Awareness is no longer done with the whole “update your [...]

Pathetic Politicians

Sareen — Mon, 01 Oct 2012 06:40:57 +0000

A few weeks ago this “wonderful” piece of news you’re reading in the last panel was announced. I swear I looked exactly like Kareem and Layla in the last panel when I first heard it. All I can say is three words: Shame on them. Have a great Monday everyone!

Lebanese Moms

Sareen — Mon, 24 Sep 2012 06:11:03 +0000

I met a girl this weekend who told me the funniest story about her mom and I just HAD to draw this comic. We as Lebanese girls go have to put up with a lot (especially with our parents) when it comes to “picking our future husband”. This girl for instance told me about how, [...]

No Smoking?! Really?

Sareen — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 06:10:45 +0000

Don’t get me wrong. Nothing delights me more than this no smoking law. But, I think my opinion is obvious from the comic above. I think those pollutants (ESPECIALLY the zouk power plant) effect us MORE than smokers.

Selective Racism

Sareen — Mon, 27 Aug 2012 06:36:21 +0000

Last week, the wonderful people of Cheyef 7alak started a campaign against racial discrimination in Lebanon. A lot of bloggers such as Blog Baladi andIvy Says have spoken out on this topic as well. I love this country. And I love the people. But we can’t go on being like this. I don’t want to be all preachy [...]

Lebanese Excuses with their Boss

Sareen — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 06:45:52 +0000

But just for the record, if my boss is reading this, I really really was stuck in traffic…and the elevator…and my water really was cut…and those aliens really did abduct me, I swear! Have a great Monday everyone!

The LEBANESE Olympics!

Sareen — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 06:11:41 +0000

Ahh yes, the Olympics have begun! And what better way to start things off than to show our own Lebanese version of the Olympics? Amiright? Have a wonderful Monday everyone! P.S. thanks dad for this comic idea!

Being Romantic (or not)

Sareen — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 06:47:34 +0000

Yay for a surprise mid-week comic! Also, what was the deal with the electricity yesterday?! It kept cutting out every 10 minutes! I swear I felt my house had turned into a Christmas tree! Have a great Wednesday! PS to all foreigners reading this, yes, in Lebanon, although we live in the 21rst century, we [...]

How to get into Lebanese Beaches

Sareen — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 06:29:57 +0000

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 [...]

LEBANON during the Euro Cup!

UFO SIGHTING IN LEBANON and MY RESPONSE!

Sareen — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 19:35:43 +0000

My response to the UFO sightings in Lebanon

A MIRACLE in Lebanon?!

Sareen — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 06:20:16 +0000

Honestly though, last week was the worst. There were days when we had government electricity for only an hour a day! Thank God for generators!

Difference between Men and Women in one image

Sareen — Mon, 28 May 2012 06:22:41 +0000

Morning everyone! How are my lovely readers doing this morning? By the way, in today’s comic, I was trying to draw the nightclub White. It took me forever to find good pics! To whoever has been there, does it look like the place?

For every Lebanese: How to drive to work

Sareen — Tue, 22 May 2012 06:11:16 +0000

I thought I might give you a little game to solve this morning. Help poor Sami find his way to work. After the bullshit we’ve been experiencing here in Lebanon (strikes, demonstrations, gun battles in the street), I thought this might blow off a little steam. Have a great day everyone!

Homosexuality (Safe for work)

Sareen — Mon, 07 May 2012 06:24:41 +0000

This comic was inspired by a recent homophobic article I read in the Outlook newspaper. A lot of my blogger friends have been talking about this issue. Any of you guys (especially in Lebanon) who wrote about this post in the last few days can link the article below in the comment section.

The Lebanese Civil War

Sareen — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 06:18:43 +0000

So last week, April 13th (Friday 13th coincidently) marked the 37th anniversary of the Lebanese Civil War. As the Lebanese people always say, “Hopefully it will be remembered but not repeated.” I’d like to thank Fadi Bitar for the wording of the first panel in this comic. He’s much better in analyzing politics then I’ll ever [...]

STOP LIRA!

Sareen — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 07:29:28 +0000

I did this comic/joke a couple of years ago about another law that was supposed to be passed with regards to regulating/banning VOIP calls in Lebanon(it never passed). But apparently some jokes can be reused over and over in this country. Now we have another issue with the introduction of the Lebanese Internet Regulation Act. [...]

Lebanon fight for YOURSELF for once

Sareen — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 12:48:15 +0000

Sorry for the midweek rant. I don’t usually post these types of comics. I’m also not saying Kony 2012 is not a good cause. It’s a VERY IMPORTANT cause. But Lebanese people should ALSO be aware of their own problems and fight for the causes of their own country. Also, excuse the poor quality of [...]

Broke this Winter? Not a problem!

Sareen — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 07:02:51 +0000

Yes yes, today’s comic is a silly and silent one. Hope you enjoyed it though! By the way, did you also notice my brand new banner? Have a great Monday everyone!

A Summary of Politics

Sareen — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 07:01:16 +0000

First post of the new year! And I think it sums things up pretty well, don’t you? Have a wonderful day everyone, and to the college students who came back from the holidays, I pity you if you have classes that start at 8.

HAPPY NEW YE-wait wha..I can’t see!

Sareen — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 08:14:49 +0000

Ok so for those of you living outside of Lebanon, let me explain. Ever since the … 80s I believe (when there was a lot of war, no need to get into details), we’ve been having power cuts in Lebanon. Pathetic isn’t it? For those living in the capital Beirut, they only experience power cuts [...]

Politicians (Enough said)

Sareen — Mon, 19 Sep 2011 06:17:37 +0000

Before you ask, I really didn’t have any specific person in mind. Lately I just feel this way about every single politician out there and the people they represent. How did they even get voted?
