This research aims to prove the great contribution and significant relationship between the ability to sketch with the ability of drawing comic illustrations in the class VIII MTs Al-Wardah. The data is collected using test techniques, i.e. the test creates sketches and creates comic illustrations, the test results are then observed and evaluated by three evaluators, whose results are expressed in the form of decimals. The data was then analyzed using correlational research, data normality test using the liliefors technique, and data linearity test with the regression of the small quantum method. The results of the research showed that there was a significant relationship between the ability to sketch with the comic illustration proof of T_{count} 5,365 and T_ {table} for the degree of freedom (no) = n-k-1 = 24 on the real level (α) = 0.05 T _{table} = 2.064 was F_{count\ }> F_ {tabel\ }(31.44 > 4.22). The great relationship between the ability to sketch and the capacity to draw comic illustrations is collateral 0.76, and the great contribution or contribution is 59%.

This study limits the problem its problem to the issue of social dehumanization depicted in the comic Maus, which as a reflection of the Jewish community’s condition in Germany during the Nazi regime.

Smoking has very negative health consequences. The dangers of smoking must be recognized from school age. The snakes and ladders game is an interesting type of educational media that can be used to increase students' knowledge about the dangers of smoking. The aim of this research is to find out how the use of the snakes and ladders game impacts junior high school students' knowledge about the dangers of smoking.This research is considered quasi-experimental with a non-randomized control group pretest and posttest approach. The number of respondents in this study was 90 students, where respondents were divided into 2 groups, namely the treatment group who were given health education using comic-based Photonovella media and the comparison group using conventional methods (posters). Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Test and Mann Whitney U Test. The results of the Wilcoxon test showed a significant increase in the post test scores for the knowledge and behavior variables in both the treatment and comparison groups, but there was no significant increase in the post test scores for the attitude variables. Then the results of the Mann Whitney U Test (sig.2-tailed) on knowledge (0.007 < 0.05), attitudes (0.217 > 0.05), and behavior (0.024 < 0.05). This indicates that there is a significant difference between the scores of the treatment group and the comparison group on the knowledge and behavior variables, but there is no significant difference on the attitude variable.Comic-based photonovella can be used in the learning process because they are very effective in increasing children's knowledge, attitudes and behavior about the dangers of smoking. Therefore, this can be used as an alternative learning media to increase students' knowledge of health by increasing their knowledge about health.

Phonology is one of the main subjects that make up the study of language, which is called the scientific study of the structure of language. One way to understand the meaning of language is to compare it to other parts of language. Basically, phonology is a science that studies the sound structure of language, as opposed to the study of sentence structure (grammar), word structure (morphology), and language variation over time (history). This definition is too simplistic and unnecessary. The research method used in writing this article is library research, this method is to search for reference materials through previous scientific works, in the form of journals, theses, books, etc. According to Seewoester (2009), humor is the manipulation of language at the linguistic level. Creating confusion and ambiguity with your words can influence many reactions from your audience, including laughter and confusion. Be careful with your language. Some strategies for creating humor in comic situations use sound effects such as sound substitution, deletion, addition, deductive pairing, metathesis, and sound compatibility.
