A Friendship to remember
It’s true that all friendships have their ups and down. When it came to my friendship with my best friend in high school, I felt like we had more negative than positive aspects to our relationship. While we were in school, she was extremely competitive. It seemed like her only aim was to be better than me. However outside of school we got along perfectly; no one could mistake that we were best friends. I was inspired by Alison Bechdel's use of irony between the speech bubbles and what was actually going on in her comic "Fun Home," so I incorporated that into my comic to show my best friend's competitive nature. I tried to portray both the bad and good parts of our friendship using our interactions with mutual friends, classes, and hobbies. By overcoming all the bumpy roads in our friendship, we managed to stay friends throughout high school and into college.
