    This is really good. I like how the tv shows a clear depiction of the (literally) stick thin model in the fashion show. She is getting all positive attention regardless of her unhealthy weight. I like how you tilted the mirror in the second panel, as well as made her reflection smaller. Very realistic.

    to be attractive; i think it also plays into our desire to be successful. But all the successful people have all the right-shaped and the right shaped bodies, and when those things are flaunted in such a way that alot of media flaunts, it can make those who are sitting back and watching feel as though they're incapable of such success/such happiness. Really makes me wondering how many people simply give up because they incapable, or unpretty, when we stop using those on TV to measure ourselves.

    You nailed it yet again. And real, it's more than TV. Sometimes the people we know can make us feel unhappy about your physical self. The empty space you leave in the second frame is really powerful, as it speaks to the emptiness that character feels. I wouldn't label this as minimalist, but i do think you have said such powerful things with so few images. The question then becomes how do we, as people, reverse this? Is there even a way To reverse it? I also think it surpasses our desire

    This represents an interesting effect of the visual in our society. I learned in psychology last semester that eating disorders and body dismorphic disorder are primarily found in Western culture. This is the result of an “ideal” form being forced on us almost everywhere visually. The second panel is also a good example of how what we see isn’t always real.

    I like the point that your making here. The second panel is really well done. I like the twisted perspective of the subject in the mirror. That was an idea that I was trying to incorporate in one of my strips.

    This must be a self portrait of what was going through your mind after your team won the debate yesterday and you got nominated MVP on the left and what do we have on the right? Hmm? I hope that's not what I think it is. Lol. I'm so just joking around. No I get it. We all get a little secure about our own appearance when we look in the mirror.

    I like the parallelism between the two panels. In other words, I like how the reader's forced stare into the television corresponds to the girl's stare at the mirror. I'm interested to know how you gave her a pot belly... Or is that a totally separate icon? This adds a bit of a fresh twist on a common theme.
