The web comic "The Abominable" has been a lot on my mind lately. Charles Christopher tackled so many issues and pulled some chords in me. One page in particular caught my attention.
Charles "the snowman" heard a loud bang. He noticed that his young fox friend was missing and he ran towards the direction of the sound. When he arrived he saw his friend in the ground and he broke down when he realized he was dead. A panel in the page shows the tip of a gun pointing at Charles from some bushes, ready to shoot. Afterwards the gun was pulled back in the next panel. This symbolized that the "hunter" spared the snowman. This is an obvious sign of compassion and mercy. Something that goes beyond race, species, or any kind of physical attribute.
The pannel where the gun is pulled back is my guess as to what is my professor's favorite panel.
