Vintage four-panel comic: pace a small payoff
Example preview

Plan a polished vintage-looking strip around setup, attempt, complication and ending. The stored style prompt is brief, so state the panel layout explicitly.
Use four beats to turn an everyday incident into a visual joke.
When to use this template

The stubborn toast
Four-panel vintage comic: a cook lowers bread into a toaster; waits proudly with a plate; catches the toast as it springs too high; the family dog watches the empty plate in surprise. Clear borders, warm faded colors, no text.
One repeated prop connects each beat.
Before you publish
- The title does not guarantee four panels from the short stored prompt.
