Renée French contributes to the growing subgenre of comics about medical issues and disability in her wordless text, H Day. Working with an invisible impairment, migraine, as her subject, French creates separate points of view, connecting them with overlapping imagery and externalizing focalization. Using a traditional iconography of dogs as pain proxies, the work also contributes significantly to larger discussions about agency in the identity politics of invisible disability.

Protectionism paralyzes discourse that might otherwise enable progress for children, and instead further marginalizes them. In light of this problem I investigate conflicting attitudes toward child consumer choice, especially through the trope of manipulative sweets.
