The comic strip I have posted is meant to tell others that we cannot judge a person just by his looks. In the comic strip, a rich man took pity of a man who acted as if he was homeless for days. At the end, when the rich man brought the man home, the man stole all his valuables and left. Thus the rich man had nothing at the end.
The reason why I chose the different backgrounds is to better enhance each character and set the theme going. In picture 1, I used a rural area as a background to emphasize that the man is very pitiful as in such a rural area, it is very difficult to survive without any food and water. Thus the rich man would most probably take him home as he knows that the man would never survive for long in such a location where food and water cannot be easily found.
In picture 2, a good and cosy setting of the house emphasizes the rich man's wealth as his house is not normal, quite a lot of money is spent on it and this sparks the poor man's idea to steal the rich man's valuables. Do note that some expensive things are being added such as the mirror etc. to indicate that the rich man's house has perhaps more valuable things than those on the table and the poor man starts to take action when the rich man was not noticing.
In picture 3, the rich man's expression tells us that something bad has happened. The fact that the man is pointing to to door indicates that the poor man has most probably ran away with his valuables and the rich man is angry that he had been cheated.
In picture 4, the eerie background in the night suggests that the rich man has now become a poor man after the man has ran away with his valuables and he have nothing left. The once rich man folded his arms to indicate that the weather outside is very cold and he is in the state that he does not even have enough money to buy himself a jacket or sweater for himself.
Thus, there are many elements such as background, characters' expressions and actions, and things that contribute to the theme of the whole story.
