Making Art Saves the Day
Comfort is hard to come by these days, but art can still save the day.
Description: 4-panel comic strip of a cartoon girl with a bun talking to an elephant about stress. In panel 1, the girl is extremely agitated and says to the placid elephant, "I feel really sad and stressed out...Does it ever stop?" In panel 2, she continues her opine: "IS COMFORT ANYWHERE TO BE FOUND?!" Panel 3 shows a close-up of the girl, who suddenly declares, "I need to draw something." In the last panel, the elephant is posing uncomfortably on a stool, asking, "When's lunch?" while the girl is painting on an easel in the foreground. She responds, "5 more minutes." The canvas she is painting has barely a sketch of the elephant with "The Elephant Thinker" as a bold caption. Cartoon title: "Making Art Saves the Day," ink and watercolor on paper.
