Drawn live during a workshop where Ahmad was teaching webcomics to a group of students, after he'd told them they could redraw any film or scene they loved in their own comic style. He chose the moment from Twelve Angry Men where Henry Fonda's character is the only juror standing with his hand raised, saying not guilty, a film Ahmad says he genuinely loves, having watched it more than ten times with no plans to stop. He pulled the speech bubble, and lettered it in Arabic: ahha, meaning truly, I object. “I actually didn't know at the time that ahha was already shorthand for that exact phrase, people told me that in the comments afterward. But when I drew it, that's just what it felt like he was saying.”
