Comic Strip (Boxing Competition)

Brief introduction of my comic:

A burly, strong man and his small, confident opponent were getting ready for a boxing competition. The arrogant man on the right is showing off by insulting his opponent. However, the opponent on the left took up his challenge and was grinning from ear to ear, showing that he was confident.
When the match start, the burly boxer could not catch his fast and small opponent, who do a flick jump and karate kick the strong boxer. In the end, the proud and strong boxer lose the match miserably and regret his arrogant actions just now by shaking hands with his opponent and make friends with him.

1) I chose the background as a boxing stage as my characters are having a boxing competition. I drew the strong boxer with enormous size, strong and big muscles to show that he was mighty and have more chances to win. On the other hand, I drew his opponent with small-sized body and skinny body to emphasis on the fact that he was bound to lose in comparison of their strength and size.

In the first box, I drew the small opponent with a smile to show that he was confident while the strong boxer was enraged as he was arrogant and appeared fierce. On the second box, I drew the strong boxer with a surprised and appalled expression as he did not expected that his small opponent could escape his attack and do a counter-attack instead.

In the third box, I drew the strong boxer with his eyes half close which shows that he was getting weaker and injured by his small opponent's mighty kick. In the last box, the strong boxer had a smile on his face as he learnt something valuable in this match and his had made a new friend as well.

2) The first box shows the setting, with 2 characters getting ready for match start on a boxing stage where there were audiences in the background. The second box is the climax as the readers and the audiences did not expected the small opponent to counter-attack the strong boxer with ease.
The third and fourth box is the conclusion and the ending as the match ended with a lesson learnt and the theme displayed.

3) I made use of the fact that the arrogant boxer lost the match to emphasis to everyone that we should never be arrogant and underestimate our opponent. We should get ready at all times and not brag about our achievements or our strengths etc. I also made the small opponent smiled at the end of the match to show that even though he won the match, he was not proud about it and instead remain humble.

I purposely drew the difference in size of the two boxers and the result ending in the small boxer winning the match. This is to emphasise that we should not judge a book by its cover and made assumptions just by the appearance and our thoughts.

I also want to tell the readers that even though we are at a disadvantage situation compared to other people, such as in terms of size and strength in the comic strip, we should still give in our best and play the game with a positive mindset. Only when we believe in ourselves and determine till the end, we have a chance to win our opponent. We should not be disappointed and give up, instead we should face the challenge and be resilient, no matter how impossible the challenge is.

Lastly, I drew the boxer smiling and be friends with his small opponent as it's alright to make mistakes. Nobody is perfect and everyone is bound to commit mistakes. However, we should learnt from the strong boxer and reflect about our mistakes and action. As long as we turn over a new leaf and never commit the mistake again, people will still accept us like how the small opponent accept the strong boxer as his friend as he had already repent his mistakes.
