Week 3 Comic Pitch – Kai and Kevin

Everything in this website is drawn with white outlines on a black background.

The comic starts with a gif of a car driving down an empty highway at night where faint music slightly distorted music plays to emulate a radio. clicking the gif will cause the next scene to appear where the scene starts with two people in the front seat talking about their engagement. The man is bringing the woman from los angeles to san francisco to meet his parents once more before marriage. It’s a quiet drive and the clock says 3 am. after clicking again a text box appears where the woman starts asking about the mans childhood and how his parents raised him. flashback scenes depict his childhood where his parents where slightly distant but loving, neither side was able to truly express their feelings and so the man knows little about his parents past and life and vice versa. The radio plays and for a brief moment the static mentions an armed robbery where an older couple was shot and killed, but the man and the woman disregard the report and continue talking about his past. They stop at a gas station where the neon lights artificially brighten the previously black and white comic. The woman goes inside the gas station to pick up snacks and drinks while the man fills up gas and smokes. Time passes and the man wonders why the woman isn’t back yet. He goes into the store and finds the woman in tears and whispering into her phone. He goes up to comfort her and the woman crumbles into him and repeats “im sorry im sorry” the man doesn’t know what’s wrong but the woman is in too many tears to explain. The gas station radio repeats the news and the location of the robbery and the man realizes what had happened. In silence he helps the woman back to the car and they drive off. The next scene is identical to the first scene of the car driving down an empty highway. The point of this comic is to show the shock of death and how it can happen to anyone and cannot be prepared for.
