   What an expressive comic, it says a lot. I don’t really want to look into it too much. It’s really a bad practice to point the blame at others at work when something goes bad at work. But I do view this as a political comic in a sense. Saudi sense of self righteousness comes to mind, especially our situation with the neighboring countries, sex tourism and how now generations of those countries came to spite the gulf region. For example lately when Shoura tried to rein in Saudis who were marrying other nationalities instead of looking into why Saudis are heading in that direction.. they decided there is something wrong with those Saudis instead of looking why it is becoming hard for Saudis to marry their own skin. I know I am looking through this with my own view, it would be nice to see what the artist really meant.

   edit: I just checked Al Watan after this comment, wow! I think I am a psychic, I know many leaders have think tanks.. I really appreciate it if His highness Prince Naif gets his think tanks to talk more.

   Why is it becoming so hard for Saudis to marry their own skin?

   There are scores of reasons, from men as well as women, why a Saudi marrying another Saudi is less favored. They range from some men’s believing that Saudi women are too demanding (!!) to women’s preference for men with higher education levels.
