Abstract
This study was intended to determine the feasibility of Chemtoon comic that was developed as a
chemistry learning media on acid-base matter. It was conducted at SMAN 1 Wringinanom on 15
students in XI IPA 2 with heterogeneous abilities. The comic designed according to the criteria for
learning media. The Method using research and development until the limited trial test. The results
will ultimately be analyzed using the feasibility rule of Nieven, from aspects of validity,
practicality, and effectiveness. The validity was obtained from two media expert lecturers and
material experts. The result was showed validity 82,5% of content criteria, 80% of language
criteria and 87,5% of presentation criteria. Practicality is obtained from the response questionnaire
given to students and supported by observation sheets of student activities. The result was showed
practicality 95,2% of students respond positively to the comic. While the effectiveness obtained
from the results of the pretest and posttest during the limited trial test. The result of effectiveness
was showed as much as 80% of students who were succesfuly achieved minimum completeness
criteria that apply in school.
