Graphic Cultures class description with detail from p. 36 of Thi Bui’s The Best We Could Do: An Illustrated Memoir showing the author at a table with a pen and notebook drawing. This is the moment she begins to “record our family history.” Thi Bui’s avatar, table, and notebook are in black and white. Behind her, and overflowing the panel, in light orange watercolor wash, are waves in a rough sea with a rickety boat floating on a wave.
