When I Read "once Upon A Time" As The First Sentence In The Book Of Lost Things By John Connolly It Blew

Black and white comic with simple drawings.
Text: When I was in elementary school, my teachers told us not to start stories with "Once upon a time."
Panel 1: Adult holding a finger up and talking to 3 kids sitting at a rectangular desk. On the desk there is lined paper, 3 markers, an eraser, and the kid in the middle is holding a pencil. They are all looking at the adult and don't have any features except dot eyes.
Panel 2: The middle kid is writing on a lined piece of paper.
Text: I didn't mind so much back then.
Arrow pointing at the kid labeled: should be doing math sheets
Two pieces of paper with 3 hole punches on the sides of each. The second has a folded corner in the top right. 
Text on them: I think it was nice to know that isn't the only way to start a story, but
Papers trail into five falling books. The background fades into black as you scroll.
The text between the books: I think it's also nice to know you're sharing a beginning with so many others.
Black background fades into white again.
Panel 3: Close up of an open book on someone's lap. They have a hand spread on the pages.
Text: being told in different voices.
An adult sitting on a bed with the book on their lap. They're signing in ASL "once upon a time" to a kid sitting against a pillow with their hands over the covers.
Panel 4: An adult sitting in front of 5 kids. One kid is sat on a chair and the rest are on the ground. The adult has a speech bubble that says, "むかしむかし..."
Text: and different languages
Panel 5: The inside of an open book. On the right page in the right side there is text going down that reads, "εΎˆδΉ…εΎˆδΉ…δ»₯前"
Text: and well-loved storybooks.
Panel 6: The kid at the desk holding a pencil over a lined piece of paper looking to the right.
Panel 7: The kid looks to the left, checking if the coast is clear.
Panel 8: The kid looks down at the paper and smiles.
Panel 9: Close up of a lined piece of paper with 3 hole punches. A hand holding a pencil hovers next to it on the right. On the first line of the page there is writing that reads, "Once upon a time"
Watermark in the bottom right corner: @yeehawpim

Digitally painted illustration of Palestinians resting beneath a large olive tree against a bright blue sky. Both adults and children rest against the tree's trunk, hold hands, chat, play, and pick olives. They're dressed in shades of red, green, black, white, and blue. A black and white cat also rests curled against the tree's base. The olive tree grows large and lush above them with a twisting trunk indicating its age. "Palestine will be free" is written beneath the illustration.

There will be Palestinian futures on Palestinian land.
