Poor kitty, always being picked on by penguin

In psychology, we're learning about interpersonal relationships, but more specifically aggression. We were to make a comic strip of someone disengaging from a conflict. You know those things we were taught in school where if someone does something you don't like, say, "I don't appreciate you doing ___ and I'd like you to stop!" thing that you would never do because no one backs off? Well, that's the gist of it.

There was this one example that was hilarious and sad at the same time because the conflict was "resolved" but the guy getting picked on killing the dude picking on him. How peaceful, no?

INTERESTING FACT: Ever hesitate to do something because you thought "someone else would do it"? Well, everyone thinks like that. Many people die because, even though people would hear whomever in peril, no one does anything (some even watch the person die). By the time the police/ambulance arrive, they're dead. So moral of the story: call the damn police.

My 1st draft drawn in class. As you can see, there are two guys looking like they're constipated. Like how I tried to draw them in a "cartoony style"? I'm not one of those people who draw anime in everything; I know when it's appropriate. I switched the people into animals, though, as animals look cool and can be drawn stupid.
On the bottom with the ear and the part with the cloud and unicorn was my attempt to do a floor-chart-esque thing like some people have done and succeeded. Unfortunately, I don't have the genius to come up with something like that.

Final Product:

Poor kitty, always being picked on my penguin!

You get it? Is it funny? I don't think it's funny. No newspaper would accept this.

Technical part:
It's been a while since I've cracked out the good ol' pencil crayons/coloured pencils. For the past little while, it's all been my dear Copics, but I figured that: one) I need to save ink, and two) I haven't used them in a while.
I'm quite happy to report that, unlike me from grade 8 and 9, when I use pencil crayons, I try to add contrast in the colours. Failed, though, for the most part.

Man, is my room ever hot? Its' almost the end of fall and beginning of winter! Why is it so hot? And I can't stand hot. Bleh, me and my hyperthyroidism.
