Hana Hajjar (Arabic: هناء حجار) is a Saudi artist and political cartoonist for the Arab News. She is the youngest of nine children, and started drawing political cartoons at age 12.[1] Her earliest cartoons dealt with the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict and called for an end to it.[2] Hajjar is one of a few female figures working for the Arab News and the only female political cartoonist in Saudi Arabia.[3] Her caricatures deal with a varied range of subjects. She critiques both political figures as well as societal practices, including gender inequality, politics, and economics. She has stated also, that while her cartoons reflect discontent within society, she is careful not to push too hard so as to retain both her job and be able to continue publishing her work.[4]

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
