On page 8 up in the top right corner, there is a very visually enhanced panel of the Pedro and Me graphic novel. Judd Winick used font styles to highly emphasize two main words that the airport shuttle driver says. Judd Winick and the airport shuttle driver are in a vehicle driving towards the airport and having a conversation about Judd going to visit his friend. This is very visible because you can see the car in the background of the panel and in the first panel of the chapter they explain where Pedro is going to. The panel fits in with the rest of the novel because it shows how Judd is going to see Pedro and the words of wisdom he gets from his noble airport shuttle driver. Darkness is portrayed in the eyes of the driver. Its purpose is to lighten or darken the mood of the driver depending on if it is light or dark in his eyes. The two words he makes bold and larger were “Oh’ and “Very”. These two words seem to be enlarged to make the driver seem to show a sarcastic side by making it seem like he doesn’t care about the topic. A method of drawing Judd uses is like a blackout. He almost darkens the entire panel besides the characters to draw your attention into the feelings and emotions of them. He also uses curvy lines to show that the driver’s mood is sarcastic and that he knows that isn’t how Judd really should feel.
