Beirut shopping list, from Lebanese comic artist Mazen Kerbaj

“TO BUY (quickly): water / coffee / batteries / chocolate / ink / candles (a big stock) / canned food / bread / picon cheese / toilet paper / radio powered by batteries / matches / black felt pens / rolling paper / milk (still consumable.” From comic artist/musician/blogger Mazen Kerbaj, who has decided not to evacuate, and is holed up in Beirut with family and loved ones. Link to this one, and there are many more incredible drawings in his flickr stream — like Evacuation Blues, and this one. Previous BB post on his work here. More to listen to Lebanese Music .
