Graphic Style of Persepolis -- American Lit 261 -- Comments?

A question posed by Talia Johnson for American Lit 261.

The graphic style of the novel makes the story readable by showing illustrations that keep the reader interested. The reader's attention does not have time to wander because there is always an amusing or interesting picture on every page. The comic book style format keeps a horrible situation light enough to read.

Where are the times when the graphic style keeps the terrible situation light enough so that the reader will not quit reading or throw the book across the room in despair?
