A Day at Sunrise Farm
by Gayathri Nejimon
A warm, “edutainment” comic about a small family-run sunflower farm and how the Canadian energy sector keeps it running.
About this work
My short comic shows how a small, family-run sunflower farm benefits from the Canadian energy sector. I tried to make it as entertaining as possible while also being educational, informing the reader of facts and misconceptions about this industry. I took inspiration from the “edutainment” shows I’ve watched before. I’m especially proud of the laid-back and relaxing vibe of the comic, which makes it fun and enjoyable for the reader while also learning about the Canadian energy sector. The wholesome dynamic between the characters creates natural and down-to-earth scenes.
To summarize, I think my comic shows the importance of the energy sector by using wholesome and cute characters who benefit from the industry, helping readers understand how it supports people from different backgrounds, by focusing on how it helps this particular family in their specific situation.
