This third book will be the final book study of the work of Shaun Tan. I will now be able to carry out a comparative assessment across the three books that have been studied. Looking into methods that are used by this particular artist, comments or interviews and academic works carried out by others are all aspects that should be considered. This will give a well rounded approach to the study of this artist and may also add any issues that have not been considered through the framework used to carry out these first three studies. The study along with further explanations and images are shown below.
The end papers show in themselves the changes from the beginning to the end of the book. These are part of my thinking as to the book being about mental health, possibly bipolar disorder as the end papers seem to be extremes of both lacklustre and dull to vibrant and intense.
A similar theme is also shown through the first and last images of the story as shown above.

The image above shows many of the repeated motifs of ladders, masks and eye that form the composition of the image and give indication towards meaning.
