My webcomic is about when I was in fourth grade and my friend was using big handwriting on the board in math class. My teacher was mad at him for doing that, but I thought it was unfair because you can’t control the way your handwriting turns out(for the most part). I decided to stick up for my friend and write with big handwriting on the board as well. When I did it, the teacher said it was ok, so I asked if it was ok If my friend did it and she agreed. But, as I was walking back to my seat, my friend high-fived me for sticking up for our friend, and the teacher got very angry and started yelling and cussing at us. I chose this moment because, even though it was horrible, it showed me that I could make a change by sticking up for my beliefs and maybe even expose something new. The steps I took to develop the webcomic was to use a graphic organizer and panel planner to get the basic details out of the way, then start sketching the panels and drawings. Some  visual and writing decisions I made to communicate tone/emotion were to add black shading for sad, angry, or upset moments and to use me as a chibi for a panel that’s just inside my mind. How I balanced words and images to tell the story was by using my drawing skills to draw the panels, characters, and background, but then adding dialogue and titles along with it to add understanding. My memoir connects to the themes in Persepolis like bravery, guilt, and worry. For example, in my webcomic, I feel like I’m experiencing things that are too old for me, and in Persepolis, Marji also has that feeling with the war and revolutions surrounding her at such a young age.
