N2, My Comic For Shortbox 2022!

An illustration of a hiking guide titled "N2", with information like "Route Type" (Loop) and "Difficulty" (Easy-Moderate) above a low-angle shot of a pine tree. Tags below the image read "Decomposition", "Scenic overlooks", and "Wildflowers". The description is "A casual stroll through one of the classic biogeochemical cycles! The nitrogen cycle is a wonderful next step after the more beginner-friendly water or rock cycles." Ferns cover the page.
Three tall panels of wood grain with holes chewed across them. In the far right panel, a fat white grub squeezes through the holes and out of the panels, next to an oblong beetle.
A two page spread of a textbook excerpt. The section header is "1.3 The Nitrogen Cycle", and diagrams show the nitrogen cycle, nitrogen-fixing bacteria, and ribbon lighting (another source of nitrogen fixation).
A two page spread showing a tree toppled into a bed of ferns. The stump and body of the tree are dotted with small holes. The border of the page depicts the longhorn beetle life cycle, from egg to cocoon to fully grown, and text at the top reads "The Nitrogen Cycle?"
A two-page closeup of a fallen log. Panels across highlight mushrooms taking root and growing across the bark. The border of the page depicts the mushroom lifecycle, from spores to fruiting bodies. A spiderweb is spun down the left side, and a longhorn beetle winds across the page to be caught in it.
Three varieties of nitrogen-fixing plant. A close up of nitrogen-fixing bacteria overlaps roots spreading into rich soil. Panels overlaid on top show sunlight, the veins of a leaf, plant cells, and a growing root system. The border of the page depicts a sunrise and a moonrise, with the nitrogen fixation process along the bottom.
A fallen log, now covered in moss and large mushrooms. Panels across the top show a bee pollinating a flower that then wilts and bears fruit. The corners of the page depict a frog's life cycle, while the bottom shows a slug progressing from eggs to fully grown. A large black bird cuts across the panels and plucks a slug from the border.
A dead bird decomposes, covered by snow then uncovered by spring rain. Panels depict a closeup of earthworms, ferns, crown shyness, and animal cells. The border of the page has wildflowers, birds, and bugs in repeating patterns, along with an intricate repeating knot of worms.
A low angle shot of a forest, with a tree stump in the foreground. Panels overlaid show a blue sky with clouds, planets, and the moon, half-obscured. A birds-eye shot of pine trees swallowed in fog. Panels overlaid show a log slowly decomposing, as a new sapling grows from it. Borders of the page depict stars, earthworms, nitrogen returning to the atmosphere, and slowly gathering stormclouds.
A single panel with a ribbon of lightning curving across it.
Blank page, text reads: shannonkao.com / twitter.com/mellifics
