Persepolis (2007)

“If I have one message to give to the secular American people, it’s that the world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.”

― Marjane Satrapi, Iranian graphic novelist

“I realized then that I didn’t understand anything. I read all the books I could.” —The Complete Persepolis, Marjane Satrapi

A chronicle of the Iranian Revolution, a feminist manifesto, and a coming-of-age story in one, Persepolis has simultaneously become a classroom staple and a hot-button banned book, both lauded and challenged for its unflinching look at Iran’s history and the universal trials of growing up.

They had a kid!

[When the people knew that Ulysses (Odysseus) had come, they welcomed him back and showed that they favored his cause; and from them he learned everything that had happened at home. Ulysses repaid the faithful with gifts, the unfaithful with punishments. As for Penelope, her reputation for virtue is famous. Soon afterwards, in answer to Ulysses' hopes and prayers, Nausicaa, the daughter of Alcinous, was married to Telemachus.] . . . [Nausicaa and Telemachus had a son, to whom Ulysses gave the name Ptoliporthus (Poliporthes) (Sacker of Cities).]

(I know that in some versions Poliporthes is Odysseus and Penelope's second son, but I like this better because they get to be grandparents.)
