Introduction
Egotism can be defined by excessive self pride and the practice of talking about self too much until ignoring other's feelings. It is an exaggerated sense of self importance. An egocentric person concerns with individual rather than a society.

The comics can be in a book form or short stories, or doodles. The examples of comic is Garfield and Spiderman (Applied Comics etc, 2017). The comic design focuses on idea development, character designing, movement of angles, scripts, storyline, storyboarding, expression, panel scene, layout design, background, (Wordpress.com, 2017). The reseacher is decided to deliver the story through comic.
