Yet another nonsense: Zebras do not eat sugar cubes!

633-b

And HUGE sugar cubes for the Zebra.

Here is the Strip for you to colour!

Enough nonsense! There are no Zebras in Switzerland!

We have a Cartoonists License.

To deal with "Der Polizist" (the Inner Cop) who stands between us and our Art, this book is helpful. The Licensing Exam is on page 56. The test is less simple than it says, especially because the Polizist will dismiss it as "too simple" in the attempt of preventing us from actually taking it.

632-c

She took fish from the lake and to the market, with the help of Zubin, her Zebra...

632-b

Lived a sweet, single Lady whose living was of ease, not unease; abundant, not scant...

Summer (estate in Italian) is indissolubly bound to memories of the creamy white of the coconuts sold on the beach and the black hot sand under a blue sky.

Coming Out

Sharky waiting for your colours!

629d

A Shaykh... a Shark... what is the difference, anyway? HA HA HA! HA HA HA!! HA HA HA!!! HA HA HA!!!!

But... you are a Shaykh! Will you go back to your darvishes as a shark?!?

For sure I will...

Yes, Dear Nûr!!! This is the effect of a glance of a Master: my Real Self awoke! A Shark am I and forever will be!! SHARKS AHOY!!!!

Gurudev Tagore is gone, but Darfish is still Shark-shaped...

Yo Ho Ho... and a Bottle of Ink!

Salam Dear Cartoon-and-Frog Lovers! The coming strip (# 629, starting tomorrow) contains a novelty: it is inked with nibs and bottled inks. A sort of "Back to the Tradition" which Marina greatly enjoyed... because the ink is BLACK and the lines are SHARP.

Speaking Heart

Froggies waiting for your colours!

628d

We are shown how stingy and cruel we can be!

628c

*And this is Love - the vertigo of heaven
Beyond the cage of words,
Suddenly to be naked in the searchlight
of truth..."

The above lines are from a poem of Rumi translated by Raficq Abdulla. See page 20 of this book: *Words of Paradise* - Viking Studio.

I mean love strips us naked, and in the searchlight of truth we are...

628b

For the sword hidden among Love's pinions, see "Love" in Gibran Kahlil Gibran's *The Prophet*.

We were talking love. And love is about cutting and being cut.
You mean that those who fear, fear the pain of the blade?

628a

It appears that Mr Darfish is quite fluent in the Tangramese language!

Apologies if I did upset you, Sir... but I was speaking heart, not mind...
Hummm Hummm

Caravan through Iran

The Tangram Ship

Froggies waiting for your colours!

627d

Right, Frog, Right! I am here because this Darfish misquoted me. What I said is: "A mind that is all logic is like a knife that is all blade!".

627c

It is true it morphs! A big "T".
"T" as... as... Tagore, may be?

627b

COOL! The Tangram Ship is coming our way; I heard it can morph at will...
