Posting Froggy Postcards

Salam, Dear Friends of the Sufi Frogs! Mim, Nanan and Phil will frog with the Cartoonist on a sort of pilgrimage to California until the 4th of August. They will post some froggy postcards of their trip, as they do not want to discontinue the strip but their studio facilities will be very limited. It will be a sort of a much more spontaneous art, which could perhaps be termed as a Shaduli approach, and a break from their usual Naqshbandi carefully planned style. When back at home the postcards will be scanned and reposted for a better viewing, since while traveling they will post them through their cell phone, a smart froggy trick they learned from a prominent cartoonist they hope to meet at the Comic Con.
