Questions

Why only black and white?

The style depends on open black lines and white paper. Gray shading, gradients or color are treated as defects and the page is revised.

Can panels contain speech?

Yes. The drawings keep empty balloons or caption strips, and the exact words are set afterwards, so they are always spelled right.

Why three pages?

Each version tries a different panel layout and staging for the same beats, so you can pick the rhythm that works.

What does it cost?

Three PopNow image tasks, quoted together; nothing runs until you say yes.
