Description

Here’s a detailed, disability-friendly description of the comic:

Panel 1: A mother is talking to her child, who looks young and has brown hair and glasses. The background is a soft pink, and the mother’s speech bubble says, "Mom, sometimes at night I get scared of things."

Panel 2: The child is now smiling and holding a skull. The mother, also smiling, says, "This is the 'scared skull.'" The skull appears cartoonish and has a friendly expression.

Panel 3: The scene shows the mother explaining, "Instead of having all that fear, just put the scared skull under your pillow and let it do the fearing for you at night!" The mother gestures with the skull towards the child, who looks intrigued.

Panel 4: The child looks a bit sheepish and says, "Actually, I uh… I meant I'm sad, not scared." The mother responds enthusiastically, "Oh! I'll go get the sadness skull!" The child appears to be lying down, presumably in bed, with a slightly worried expression.

The overall tone of the comic is light-hearted and humorous, focusing on the playful idea of using "skulls" to manage feelings of fear and sadness.
