Looking at the comic as a whole, you can see that the same 2 characters appear in most frames. The They stay stationary throughout the comic, which you can tell by each frame having the same background and characters in the same position. They are engaged in dialogue, which is shown by speech bubbles and the character's body language. They are facing toward each other. In the first frame, the monster (which you know is a monster by his appearance) is towering over the girl (who you can tell is a young girl by her appearance) yelling "rarr". The girl's facial expression shows that she is not scared. In frame 2 there are symbols representing how each character feels. Question marks coming from the monster show that he is confused, and 3 periods coming from the girl mean that she is waiting for what's next. Again, you can tell by their facial expressions that the monster is confused and that the girl is not amused. In frame 3, the dialogue continues. The speech bubble comes from the monster, so he is the one speaking. His body language (arms thrown up in the air) symbolizes that he is frustrated. The girl's body lamguage and expression remains the same. In frame 4 the girl speaks for the first time in the comic. He mouth is open and the speech bubble comes from her. The monster's expression and body language tell us that he is wearily listening. His brow coming over his eyes in a U shape show that he is somewhat nervous for her answer. He has his arms timidly by his side. In the fifth frame, the comic concludes because it's the last one. There is suddenly s change from the other 4 frames: It is a close up of the monster's face and the girl is not present. You can still tell he is in the same spot, just zoomed in, because of the same green backgound. His expression has drastically changed.He looks angry (by his brow bent into a V over his eyes) and he is showing his large teeth. The girl's words in the last frame have made him angry. Small yellow stars around his mouth symbolize how shiny his teeth are. He is annoyed at this and at the girl's response, so he "sighs". You can tell he is sighing by the word "sighh" coming from him. Overall, throughout the entire comic, the monster goes through many different emotions: intimidation, confusion, frustration, nervousness, and anger. The girl has one simple bored expression the whole time.
