The runaway oranges
Playful comic storyboard: a cheerful vendor in an orange apron catches a rolling orange beside a market cart; a smaller inset shows another orange reaching a curious dog. Cool blue-green city backdrop, warm red-orange figures, varied line weights, light watercolor texture, clear gutters, no text.
Warm-cool separation keeps two actions readable within an urban setting.
Before you publish
- The detailed source suggests composition rather than guaranteeing panel placement.
- Too many background shops can overwhelm the expressive figure.

- Why vary line weight?
- Heavy foreground lines make the lead readable while lighter city details recede.
- How many actions should I describe?
- Start with the main incident and one supporting beat, then verify reading order.
