When to use it
Use when you want a caption-heavy editorial-cartoon strip about a profile that backfires on its subject and only need style and outlet.
How to get the best result
- Expect the captions to keep naming the original CEO and reporter; the name slots change only the drawn figures.
- Pick a monochrome sketch style; it is the one slot that shapes all four panels of fixed cartoon-caps text.
- Write the accusation as one or two caps words; it is shouted with an exclamation mark among seven fixed shouts.
Watch-outs
- Around forty caps text items in four panels form a dense grid that raises the text-error rate; expect garbled labels.
- The long JSON skeleton leaves little weight for the five slots; only the style sits near the top, where weight is high.
