I choose the different pictures in the background for an obvious reason-because the race was long and so the background could not be the same throughout. I also did change the picture of the characters a few times because I found it necessary to show the attitude of the characters. I want to tell others of how proud the main character was at first and also how shocked he was when he saw that the old man had completed the race long before him.
The theme of this story is that one must not be too proud. I choose the pictures based on the theme. The main character was depicted as a very strong athlete in a few frames, while the old man has his back hunched and had to rely on a walking stick. People may wonder, if the old man can't even walk without support, how can he beat the young, muscular athlete?Also, one might realise that all the backgrounds I choose are without the sun, as I want to show how effortless it is to run then, without the strong and 'resisting' presence of the Sun. All these were done by me just to show that the powerful athlete should have won, but he didn't. So, his loss must be due to another factor, namely his pride.
I can tell that your comic relates to the story of the race between the tortoise and rabbit. I agree with your point that one should not be complacent and should do their very best in order to strive better. Also, one should never lower their guards down. It is a simple comic that relates to us a lot of moral! Good job!
