Description

Here’s a detailed description of the comic:

Title: How It Looked vs. How It Felt

Top Section: How It Looked

The characters are represented as simple, colorful illustrations.
The first character is a small girl with long, straight hair, wearing a white dress.
Next to her is another child, wearing a yellow shirt and pants. The child has a similar hair color and style.
Then, there’s an adult woman with wavy, reddish hair wearing a pink top and a long, dark skirt.
Finally, an elderly woman appears on the far right, wearing a long purple dress and glasses, with grey hair styled in curls.

Bottom Section: How It Felt

In this section, the same characters are illustrated differently to convey emotions.
The first character is again the little girl.
Next is a boy with curly reddish hair, illustrating a feeling of looking up to adults.
The boy’s line leads up to a tall, adult woman, who mirrors the earlier adult character.
Below, a smaller version of the same adult woman appears.
Finally, there are two younger children holding onto the taller woman, emphasizing support and attachment, with a sense of connection to their upbringing.

The comic contrasts the visual representation of growth and aging ("How It Looked") with the emotional experiences accompanying those changes ("How It Felt").
