Comics as a political issue In newspapers, caricatures and cartoons are often the first response to political events in many Arab nations. The Palestinian Naji al Ali is regarded as one of the most influential artists of the last century and his work serves as a great inspiration to many. His best-known character is Handala, who always has his back to the reader. Handala is barefoot and wears patched up clothes. He is a small boy from a Palestinian refugee camp. Together with the readers, he observes the experiences of his people, which Naji al Ali has drawn using heavily symbolic images.
