Strange
Comic based on a story by “Zainab Zizi” (who by the way, the kids don’t call Miss since they address all adults on first name basis). Thank you for sharing this little reminder. I love raising awareness on how these “microgestures” can change the way we live together. There’s so much power in thoughtfully chosen […]
In the Bus
I heard this story months ago and laughed so hard, I just had to draw it. Thank you Jess Connor for sharing this cute observation! And thank you little anonymous girl 🙂 I wish we all could be more aware of what we have.
Protection
This one is inspired by @the.mean.jean ! Thank you so much for sharing your experience It’s interesting how the allegedly “neutral” school often is the setting … By the way, I hope you like the color change. If you are new to my page: Check out my other comics and if you like: Share your […]
Names II
Yay, finally the next comic is here. This is based on a true story by Esma, Melissa, Isra, Najah, Sara, Hiba and Lejla. I heard about this when I gave the comic workshop in Vienna. I found the story so cute that I had to ask if I can make it into a comic. It […]
I speak
This is to all the women out there who stand up and speak out.
Names
Comic based on a story by someone who prefers to stay anonymous (only revealing the last name here ?).Thank you so much for sharing! It’s so interesting to think about the way we call ourselves and others, the way we internalize things, find excuses, get lazy or show respect towards ourselves and others etc. To […]
Swiss
Beautiful and cute story by Serpil. Thank you so much for sharing it! May you have a successful and blessed life and inspire even more people! Result of my Project: #story4tuffix where I invite my followers to share stories that I turn into comics. The goal: cocreate stories that strengthen our empathy and understanding.
Sherif
I have started an exciting project on instagram: I invite you to remember the last time you were deeply touched or saddened or full of laughter. Share that moment/incident with me (on IG, fb or mail to hello@tuffix.net). I will pick a few to make comics out of them (and of course tag you if […]
Teachers
Maybe constantly reminding ourselves of the kindness we receive but also the one we have inside us is the only way for us overcome all this hate around us. It really doesn’t take much to stand up for the good or to brighten someone else’s day. This is based on a true story by a […]
Elections
Trying out a new coloring technique and sending out a message at the same time: Make sure to vote, dear German friends! . Federal elections will be held in Germany on 24 September. Looking at disastrous results of other countries we need to make sure that the far-right party AFD won’t win seats in the […]
Mi amor
It’s just so tempting. Some fun with a spontaneous idea I had in the morning. I know it’s the cutest swear word you could find in that series 😉
The rooms
Please note: I know both “rooms” have much more to offer. This is just the overall feeling I get. No claim for completeness. It’s just interesting to see how the way of communicating, trusting others, opening up and how manners in general differ between these two virtual spaces. (click next, to see room 2)
Eid decor
It’s difficult to feel festive on Eid when the society you live in is not celebrating. It is the first Eid my husband and I are not in big family gatherings. A good friend of mine once said: Sometimes you have to create yourself the things that are missing (love to the inspiring Kübra Gümüsay). […]
Silence
I am one of those people who rarely listen to Music ?. I was never able to work or study with headphones on, especially not if it’s a song. Instrumental pieces may sometimes be an exception. And when I draw I may listen to Quran recitation or audiobooks. It’s not that I don’t like music. I […]
Tennis
I drew this comic two years ago. Out of fear that it will be misunderstood I did not publish it. Today, I edited it a tiny bit. And I am ready to share because: Mental hygiene is important! It is so easy to get into the loop of reacting, explaining, declaring oneself especially when it […]
