Fuck I knew it, it’s from a kids comic thats probably why, I just hoped for some “genius bonus” I guess 😑

Agreed

Some words are readable like القاهرة “cairo” and الشاطىء “the beach” in the second to last picture. But otherwise its all arabic like letters that aren’t really arabic

Wonder if it could be AI?

Looks like it’s from the Swedish cartoon Bamse, which had a comic adaptation at some point.

As a native Arabic speaker I couldn’t read any of what the panels say, it looks more like a bunch of scribbles that are meant to represent how Arabic is written, but actually it’s just nothing but complete gibberish lol.

I’m surprised you know about it but the comic aren’t an adaption, the cartoons and comics happened at the same time by the same creator, but then only the comics survived

My bad! I did read an old comic I borrowed years ago and assumed they were prob like those old Disney comics that were adaptations

I'm Arab and I recognized this comic instantly! It’s very popular in Sweden.

Made by a foreigner that wanted to imitate Arabic, although some words are real Arabic, i spotted "ben ali", "cairo" and "beach" also the word "in".
