EVACOMICS BLOG

I used to do Hari Raya greeting illustrations many years ago. Initially I didn't know that dogs were sort of "forbidden" in Muslim religion because it is regarded as dirty. I was later advised by many non-Muslim friends not to put it. But on the other hand, my Muslim readers said it was alright because Kopi the dog is part of my comic series and not something I came up only for Hari Raya. In fact, after removing him from the picture, they felt quite sad because it feels as if a family member was missing. In the following year, I posted another one with me, Kopi and Matcha, wishing all Muslim fans Happy Hari Raya. But again, I was accused by non-Muslim readers as being insensitive and they told me to remove Kopi. I had to reply and explain that I checked with my Muslim friends and fans that it was ok... :( So although I greatly appreciate advises, but sometimes we may assume too much. Because I was always accused of being insensitive and need to explain every single time

I'm not sure about you, but I really cannot remember some of my FB "friends", like how and when we met (if ever)... So I would just click like on their engagement photo, wedding photo or newborn baby photo without remembering who they are... ... ...

I'm not afraid if it doesn't fly, but once it does, I'm doomed...

I used to be really happy when I get sick and can take medical leave from work. Now I just hope never to get sick...

Generation snowflake is the term for people born after the Strawberry generation. In Singapore, they are also called Durian generation to represent that the kids are soft (inside) and their parents are hard and spiky (outside). It will be tough if bosses need to hire young energetic people for the businesses...
