SHERIF ADEL: Egyptian Dentist & Cartoonist Making Comics in Japan
In Episode 9 of the NNC podcast, Egyptian dentist/cartoonist Sherif Adel shares about how he got his start making humor-based comics, how he brought this interest to Japan with him as he worked toward his PhD in dentistry, and how he uses his work to make observations and share commentary. Sherif describes how comic books in Egypt are a kind of “alternative art” and explains why he chose to poke fun at aspects of everyday life in Egypt through humor and imperfect characters. You’ll also hear about how he began creating Gaijin Falafel, an English comic about his experiences in Japan.
