Bakra Mubarak(?)

Monday, December 8, 2008

A demon that became a bakra that became a statue

Now this is what a bakra should look like.

Or at least, this is what a bakra who knows what’s going to happen to him should look like.

Or even if a bakra is happy about his fate, he should permanently adopt this look, if only to keep the “innocent” kids (who like to treat these poor animals like soulless robots) 10 steps away from him. God knows how much these goats and cows swear at us while we make them perform all sorts of gymnastics.

Anyway…

Eid Mubarak, everyone. As always, enjoy the spirit of sacrifice; and enjoy the tikkas as well.

P.S. I wish I had found this picture last year while creating The Bakra Comic.

Eid mubarak, again, everyone!

Asma,
A bit in ghussa? This one is in a lot of ghussa!

ڈفر،
نہ صرف بکرا ہے، بلکہ کچھ زیادہ ہی بکرا ہے!

Mahwash,
Who?!

Karachiwali,
Absolutely. Bakras should look exactly like this, so a qasayee could have a sense of accomplishment.

Hira,
You are welcome. :P

Yesterdaywazbetter,
Not a blast, but it went well. Hope you had fun too.

Farooq,
Hahaha! Perhaps that’s what made him like that.

Sana,
Horror show?! :shock: Did you even click on the comic’s link, lady?!

Humaira,
My point exactly!

Specs,
LOL, badma’ash bakra! Don Bakrato should have met this one before sacrificing his life. ;)

No One,
No worries, kiddo!

Purple,
Aha! Looks like your Karachi plans are all getting successful one by one!

Kamran

Hey Saadi.. EM to you man! I watched Momento! excellent art man! =) so different and well, it looked awesome.. were you able to figure out the truth? :)

omygosh creepy.
But bet it’s right yummy,eh?
;)

Saadat

Dec 13, 2008 at 2:38 pm

Wakas Mir,
Yep. Bull-type bakra, indeed. But I wonder if it’s nice as well.

Kamran,
Khair mubarak, Kami! And yay, I told you Memento was brilliant. It took me a while to figure out what was happening in the beginning, but after a couple of scenes, I got the hang of it, and after that it was just a marvellous experience. Specially the split second shots inserted by Nolan. :)

hfm,
Oh I am sure it’s super yummy! Welcome to Ulta Seedha. :)

I’d hang that type of Bakra’s head in my room .. or paste it on my room’s door … the bakra’s expression are far more expressive than the ones I’ll ever express. :)

Sana

Belated Eid Mubarak bro!

Saadat

Aamir,
Khair mubarak! :)

Hina,
*chuckles* Hai na?! :) I am sure it will look great hanging on your room’s door. By the way, do you still have those bones you once used to have in your room?!

Sana,
Ah, right. But come on, that comic could use an evil bakra!

SAWJ,
To you too, man!

utp

Dec 14, 2008 at 7:42 pm

well…I guess thats how they did look like in the GREEK age…!!! Thats a scary goat and looks like I will be the one being sacrificed if the Qasai has to decide between him and me….

Hina

Dec 15, 2008 at 11:11 pm

No, I don’t have those bones anymore. My sister is all done with studying bones. She’s more into skin and flesh these days :P

Saadat

Dec 17, 2008 at 11:17 am

UTP,
Um, dude, I am sure that the qasai‘s prefer a shareef bakra, but are you sure that they’d prefer a shareef human over a scary goat?

Hina,
I see. But I am not sure if I can decide if it’s good or bad. :P

Qurrat

Dec 17, 2008 at 11:37 am

It looks like somethign else.. more of a something else than a bakra.

Hina

Dec 18, 2008 at 11:36 am

No, Saadat. She doesn’t bring flesh & skin home.

Saadat

Dec 18, 2008 at 12:10 pm

Qurrat,
Oh yes, it looks more like a demon. Quite savvy.

Hina,
*nods* Right.

Saadat

Mahwash, Tabendah,
Been busy at work, which leaves me totally exhausted at the end of the day. My blogistan activities are limited just to skimming through my feed reader and occasionally leaving comments. An update will come at the weekend, I hope. :)
