On: drawing paper
Another school assignment. A
thirteen-paneled (plus cover) comic about a fish, no dialogue.
The final
product was to be turned in as a two-sided accordion fold, which is why all the
pictures are so nitpickily same-size.
For those of you who find the plot
hard to follow:
A guy in a boat eats a carrot and throws away the stem.
Under water, our protagonist the fish is hungry, and is delighted to see
something sinking from the surface, thinking it to be food. It is, as our fish
is a carrot-eating kind, but unfortunately its diet doesn't include the stems.
Thus, fishy mopes.
And then the strangest thing happens - in a vast burst of
bubbles, a carrot genie appears from the stem offering to make true one of
fishy's wishes.
The fish thinks long and hard, and finally realizes what it
wishes for most is a huge edible carrot.
The end.
Partial credit for the story
goes to
Hanna.
Just a few days before this was supposed to be finished,
having no idea what my fish should do in the comic,
I asked her to say the first
thing that came to mind at that particular moment. And she said "carrot".
Plus, was a fine moral support.
