DPS Comics


Is Proud to Present


An Inspirational New Series


 


 


-Intro-


 


 


“Are you a politician who asks what others can do for you,


Or are you someone who asks what you can do for others?


If the second, then you are an oasis in the desert.”


 


Kahlil Gibran


 


 


Welcome to the Oasis


A place for both body and soul


When life has beaten you down


It’s a place you might want to go


 


The considerate Caretaker of the Oasis


Kindly and eagerly greets each visitor


Every religion nationality and creed


Here everything is serene and not all a stir


 


First this Caretaker will offer you refreshment


From your arduous journey through life’s desert


Then he will offer you refuge from life’s concerns


Here you can relax and not have to remain on alert


 


Once your body’s nutritional requirements are met


At the Oasis every guest can discuss anything they please


Here at the Oasis all violent wars and conflicts are banned


This Oasis offers safe refuge for each member of humanity


 


At the Oasis you can discuss many different topics if you desire


Or you can simply journey here to refresh your weary body and soul


Here at the Oasis the Caretaker offers you safe passage and harmony


You won’t want to miss one issue of The Oasis - a very cool place to go

Abdi-Noor Haji Mohamed


Has Graciously Accepted Our Invitation


To Sail With Us on the Ghost Cruise

An oasis is a haven where the soul is nourished. You did well in picking our peer Abdi Noor as the center of this core.
The cruise is getting better and better and harmony is a happening thing! It is you dear Dead Poet who lives aboard our cruise and takes us where your ship sails graciously.

Sounds almost like a kind of Heaven to be savored and cherished. Many will find much succor there I believe.

Personally I look forward to sampling the nutritional requirements.

Oh, what a welcomed relief, a place where serenity and peace of mind go hand-in-hand! Where one can rest, and think, and not be accosted for those thoughts.......

THE OASIS is a great addition to the Ghost Cruise, D'ED! Welcome aboard, Abdi-Noor Haji Mohamed!

In lieu of the recent onslaught of wars, and terror, and sorrow, this Granny needs all the OASIS-time, she can glean!

Beautiful layout and music, ED. Great job!
