According to Evelyn Hatch, “The most important variable you hope to examine is the independent variable.
They are the outcomes or results of the influence of the independent variable.45 According to Evelyn Hatch, "The dependent variable, on the other hand, is the variable that you observe and measure to determine the effect of the independent variable."48. Falmer Press, 2005), pp. The researcher uses tests as a data collection method to measure the dependent variable. Suharsimi Arikunto defines instrument as “The research tool used in each method.”50.

As previously mentioned, reading comprehension is the process in which the reader constructs meaning from the text. This means that the reader's background knowledge is very important to get the meaning of the text.

- Comic Strips as Reading Material
- The Procedures of Using Comic Strips
- Advantages And Disadvantages of Comic Strips
Over the past two decades, a number of studies have introduced techniques for using comic strips in education and, in particular, language classrooms. Cary argues that comic strips can be used as a tool to help students cope with difficulties in complex language, especially in language learning.33. 34;Those who look forward to The affective role of instructions is thus clear in comic strips: their purpose is to attract and motivate less gifted students.
June 32 Liu, "Effects of Comic Strips on L2 Learners' Reading Comprehension", , (United Statet:Tesol Quarterly), Vol. To compensate for these weaknesses, the researcher should find a way to correct these weaknesses by drawing cartoons in reading comprehension materials. In order to achieve systematic and targeted teaching using cartoon material, the teacher must plan their procedures for using cartoons in the teaching of reading comprehension.
The teacher should be careful about the content of the material and should choose the best comic material that suits the student. A teacher must be selective about the language of comic book material he uses for teaching. Comics can engage students in learning and teach them to translate a story into a picture, even if they were faced with a real context.
The Theoretical Frame Work, Paradigm, and Hypothesis

- Hypothesis
The impact of cartoons on students' reading comprehension From the figure above, it can be described whether cartoons can be used correctly in the teaching of reading comprehension, so that the students' reading comprehension gets a high result. Otherwise, if cartoons cannot be used correctly in the teaching of reading comprehension, the students' reading comprehension will get a bad low result.

The population in this study is the eleventh grade students of SMAN 1 TRIMURJO in the academic year 2016/2017. The reading comprehension of the students in class XI IPA 4 is better than XI IPS 3. The researcher measures reading comprehension through a written test to find out more about the reading comprehension of the students in the eleventh grades in the SMAN 1 TRIMURJO in the academic year 2016/2017.
To investigate whether there is a positive and significant influence of the use of comics on the student's reading comprehension in SMAN 1 TRIMURJO in the 11th grade of the academic year, the author analyzed the data using a t- test. In short, it can be concluded that the reading comprehension of the students in the pre-test is low. It means that the student's reading comprehension result after using comic strips was satisfactory.

Discussion
- Interpretation t observation
- Limitation
The writer assumed that teaching and learning by using comics as a medium can influence students' reading comprehension well. Based on the analysis of the research data, the writer in this study concludes to use comics as media is an alternative media that can affect students' reading comprehension. The students of the eleventh classes in SMA N 1 Trimurjo, especially class XI IPS 3 as experimental class and XI IPA 4 as control class.
Where ha is accepted and ho is rejected means that there is a positive and significant influence of the use of comic books on the reading comprehension of students in the eleventh graders of Primary School N 1 Trimurje in the academic year 2016/2017. Using comics to teach reading comprehension made the material easier for students to absorb. By using comics, the students will be interested so that the students will be more active in the learning process.
Furthermore, Comics can be a solution for the teacher to teach the students in Reading Comprehension, the students will be more active in the learning process. The students should be more active in learning English, especially in reading comprehension by using comics, because using comics as media can help the students enjoy following the material given by the teacher.

CONCLUSION AND SUGGESTIONS
CONCLUSION
Before the post-test, the researcher gives a treatment to the students in the experimental class and for the control class the researcher does not give a treatment. In the pre-test; the experimental class mean score is 51.53 and the post-test mean score is 79.23. In the pre-test; the mean score of the control class is 61.15 and the mean post-test score is 70.38.
The fact shows that there are changes in the number of students who get the low category and the high category. By using this medium, the teaching and learning process becomes more interesting, pleasant and relaxed, and all the students will participate actively in the teaching and learning process.

The principal should support the English learning process by preparing some facilities for teaching and learning. The teacher can choose cartoons as an alternative medium in the teaching of English, especially in reading comprehension, so that the student can understand the material that the teacher provides, because by an interesting medium in the teaching of learning, it can automatically improve the students' motivation in the learning process, and it can make them do their best to accept the material the teacher is teaching.
