One of the fun things about graphic novels is that you can sneak in small details that aren’t really important to the story and that the reader might not notice, but they add a bit of depth. In this panel you can see a “The Berenstein Bears” book laying on the floor, which many people realized later was actually spelled “Berenstain” and we all misinterpreted it. I wanted the misspelling because the illustrations in the book are showing what I saw as a child, rather than the narrative text primarily explaining what I know now. You can also see that little me is drawing left handed, but I’m actually right handed. When I was really little I wanted to be left handed, so I kept practicing. ✍🏻
