This comic has a very loose structure as opposed to panels. The text is contained in speech bubble boxes.
The first box is above a panel of a cutely dressed person with pigtails and bows, browsing a rack of clothes. The box reads “Thrifting is a sustainable way to buy and sell clothes along with other items.”
Next is a bubble to the right of the panel, which reads “With the advent of fast fashion and their mass production of clothes that end up in landfills, thrifting promotes recycling and reusing of clothes and other materials.”
This leads to a third box of text under the panel, which reads “Thrifting reduces carbon emissions, which is critical to stopping climate change.”
The bottom left of the page has illustrations of jewelry, two chalices, a vase, two other indecipherable items, and a wallet. The first text box above this clump of illustrations reads “Anything can be thrifted from clothes to furniture to little trinkets and decorations.”
The last box on this page is to the right of the illustrations and reads “While being good for the environment, it is also good for your wallet!”
The second page has a clump of illustrations in the top right. There are tomatoes, bananas, butter, eggs, milk, and paper towels, as well as a bill for college tuition, a grocery receipt, and a notice that rent is increasing.
The first text box is to the top left, and it reads “With prices on the rise in the housing and apartment industry, schools and college tuition getting more expensive every year, plus living expenses getting worse…”
The next box is to the lower right of the illustrations, reading “thrifting allows relief to a lot of people.”
The third bubble is to the left of another panel, this one showing a different cutely dressed person, also with a bow in her hair. They are standing in front of a rack of clothing, and staring at another one. The text bubble reads “Thrifting endorses the ability to curate your own sense of self and serves as a creative outlet that can exhibit your unique views.”
The next text box is directly below this, and reads “You can also purchase high quality and brand name goods at a more affordable price.”
The final text box takes up the bottom of the page and is more embellished than the rest of the boxes. It reads “Thrifting is good for the environment and it can be a fun, affordable activity to do with friends and family. It is also a good outlet for the stress that come from daily life!”
