Abstract

My thesis showcases two original comics that I created during my time at New College. In addition, I reflect on my inspirations as well as my personal relationship with creating art. “Burial Nine” illustrates the inherent compassion present in humanity through an example of Neandertals caring for one of their own despite it putting them at a detriment. In contrast, “Dr. Adam’s Last Laugh” explores the relationship between a hero and villain duo, Dr. Adam and The Impossible Snowman, in an extended, long-form comic detailing a turning point in their lives. This process has allowed me to reflect on my self and my creative endeavors that have led to this point.
