As Tine Fetz says, she does not have to invent things to put in a story, she simply gets inspired by the things happening around her and on global scale: “So, I either despair or laugh about it. Or draw a picture.”

In 2014, she released a new book titled This Is Not Uganda, for Jaja Verlag, in a limited edition of 500 copies. This 72-page graphic novel, is actually a travelogue, describing Tine’s several trips to Israel. There, she confronted herself with common people and their daily life as she traveled through colonies in occupied territories.
