The adventures of Benzoyl peroxide

In my Cure course we were assigned to create our own comic strip focused on a specific medicament and the treatment to a specific disease/disorder. We were instructed to developed our story and characters, following the rubric. The purpose of this action project is to represent the collateral effects of a medicament and its active agent/principle in our comic strip. My comic strip follows the adventures of Benzoyl peroxide, a medicament used to treat acne. I enjoyed learning how to develop a story line. I am proud of completing my comic strip in time.

Below is my comic strip and script, enjoy!

Michael: (gets an idea) Let me text Marshall, maybe he could help.

(Texting)

Michael: Hey, bro. Have a date, but got a zit. Need help!

(one minute later Michael receives a text back from Marshall)

Marshall: Use benzoyl peroxide!!

Michael: Let's check the cabinet.

(after receiving the text message from Marshall, Michael searches for benzoyl peroxide in his medicine cabinet. He founds the benzoyl peroxide)

Michael: (he applies the cream on his face) Let's see how fast you work.

Benzoyl peroxide bottle: Go soldiers fight, go fight these pinheads!!

Benzoyl peroxide(ninja): I am going to kill these suckers! (loudly) World star.

Mr. Pimple: (frighteningly) Dear god, it is here! Pimples evacuate!!

Mr. Pimple: (angrily) You murdered so many of us already! What have we ever done to you? When will this end?

Mr. Pimple: (bravely) Hey! Over here! It's me you want.

Mr. Pimple: God I return to you!

(As Mr. Pimple is killed Mrs. Pimple wishes her husband farewell)

Pimple family: (crying)  Farewell my love

(After killing all of the pimples, the benzoyl peroxide ninja has a conversation with Hairies (hair))

Hair: (mesmerized by benzoyl peroxide ninja's strength) Benzoyl peroxide you are so cool!

       Why are you so powerful?

Benzoyl peroxide ninja: (proudly) It is because of our active agent Benzoyl peroxide.

                                   Benzoyl peroxide is a topical treatment. It kills bacteria by changing the bacteria anaerobic system into an aerobic system.

                                    Unfortunately, we can also cause some damages.

Side effects:

- Dry skin

- Redness

- Swollen

Michael: (happily) OMG! My confidence is through the roof!!
Yes, the benzoyl peroxide left my skin dry and a little red, but I can use Aveeno, my moisturizing lotion to solve that.

             OMG, my date with Monica will be great!!
