Today, we spent the majority of our time planning our comic and developing a storyline.  We are going to have nine pages total that focus on exaggerated advertisements.  Most electric car companies advertise their cars as being very green and healthy for the environment.  Through research, we have found that this is not the case.  We are going to start our comic with an electric car driving through nature, surrounded by trees and wildlife.  We are then going to zoom out, and have the image on a T.V. screen (like an advertisement).  There will be two people sitting on a couch watching the T.V.  One person will say something about wanting to save the earth by buying an electric car.  After the person says that, a guy will come smashing through a window, and into the room.  We will come up with some sort of superhero name for him, so he can introduce himself.  He will then say something dramatic such as “If you want to see the truth... come with me.”  He will then peel back the car advertisement on the T.V. to reveal big factories with pollution pouring out of its smokestacks.  He will then step into the T.V.  These two people will then guide the reader through the actual process and environmental effects of making electric cars.  The story will start at a lithium mine (lithium is what is used to make the batteries) and end when the car is finished.  The storyline and conversations will not be a challenge for us to make.  The biggest problem that we will have is drawing.  I am very bad at drawing, so it will be very hard for me to put my thoughts on paper.  So far, drawing has been the only challenge we have encountered.
