One of the cornerstones of being Muslim is fasting during the holy month of Ramadan. It's the time of the year where spiritual devotion excels due to heightened self discipline.

With Ramadan falling in the summertime, the long hours can get tiresome and exhausting. For those who fast, you know how hard it is to explain this exhaustion to someone who's never tried it.

But, luckily there are some cartoons that totally get the various phases a person goes through during the holy month.
