Growing up reading newspaper comic strips, Ahmed draws inspiration from rubber hose animation and classic cartoons. He shared: “I try to keep things lighthearted for the most part.” His work explores a variety of themes, from dating and daily challenges to unexpected topics like biology-fitting, since he works as a lab tech by day.

So when the dentist told me to gargoyle after I brush my teeth, that's what he meant?
In a further interview with Bored Panda, Ahmed shared a bit more about his background.
“I have a Master’s in Microbiology/Immunology, so my comics sometimes do have a scientific side to them.”
He also noted how he began doodling himself as seen in newspapers: “I was a shy kid, but I found it much easier to connect with people by showing them my comics. It's the way I express myself best.”

We were wondering about Ahmed’s creative process, to which he replied: “Sorry, trade secret. Kidding! For gag comics, I usually write what's on my mind at the time, or make a note on my phone when an idea strikes. For story comics, I have a notebook with sketches, thumbnails and concepts for planning. I currently mostly work digitally.”

If spiders look scary to us, we must look super-scary to them . Be kind to spiders !
As for the audience’s takeaway, Ahmed wrote: “If I've made you laugh, or cheered you up on a bad day, then I've succeeded as a cartoonist.”
Lastly, Ahmed added: “Be nice to people posting their art online. Artists put a lot more than just time and effort into each piece, it's one of the most personal things you can do.”

'Free speech' turns out to be the speech that doesn't offend anyone at all, apparently

Yes, two years away, so guessing this isn't particularly new...not sure what Malk is though.

I still can't understand what people see in this "supermen" thing. I've tried suspending my disbelief but the ropes keep on breaking due to the load

But honestly it is simply an escape from reality into a fantasy land. Maybe you don't need to escape your reality or your mind is too logical to suspend the disbelief for a few hours but that's what it is escaping into a world where there are heros protecting normal everyday people and the bad people always get punished which is not always the case in reality

7000 years of history, but I've only got 70 years to learn and understand it all. Snif.

Why was Andrew's comment a) hidden, and b) downvoted? I gave it a like which brought it up to negative three; I can't, for the life of me, see anything wrong with it!

Buy well-run companies making popular goods, possessing a moat of brand loyalty or patents, at a good price. Then do nothing for the next ten years.
