Mnemonic comic for 覀
Translation
Mnemonic
A mnemonic is a short, deliberately ridiculous scene, built to be hard to forget. Who appears in it and where it takes place are how the pronunciation is stored; the objects in it stand for the parts the character is written with. That is the Marilyn Method, and the comic below is the same scene, drawn.
Mnemonic symbol: a knuckle duster. The bar across the top is the 一, the row of finger rings below it is the 罒.

覀 character breakdown
Chinese characters are built out of smaller characters. Each component carries a mnemonic symbol - one concrete object that stands in for it - and a mnemonic story hands those objects to the person and the place that stand for the pronunciation. Learn a component once and every character that reuses it gets easier.

Prompt snippets
The knuckle duster is a single solid piece of worn brass: a flat, slightly curved bar across the top and directly beneath it a row of exactly four squarish finger rings, joined side by side, with rounded edges, small scratches and a warm, dull gleam.
