The Friend Who Really Can Take Photos: four-panel friendship comic at a flower market where one friend takes great photos and the other takes terrible ones

Template guide

Panel-by-panel breakdown

This template has no printed dialogue. The story is told entirely through the artwork, so each panel below is described from the image.

  1. Panel 1

    A colourful flower market under a striped awning. A girl with a bob and a yellow jacket holds up her phone; the inset shows a pretty photo of her friend, who has a long braid, a lavender shirt and a bouquet of tulips, smiling with eyes closed.

  2. Panel 2

    Roles reversed: the yellow-jacket girl poses among the flower buckets with one foot kicked up and hands on her cheeks, while her friend crouches low on the pavement, snapping away.

  3. Panel 3

    A close-up of the yellow-jacket girl staring in horror at the phone screen, mouth open. The grid shows six bad shots: eyes shut, a yelling face, a flower bucket, empty sky, an extreme close-up of her nose and her hair blown across her face.

  4. Panel 4

    Both friends squeeze together laughing with their eyes closed among the flowers, the phone propped on a little stand with a timer icon above it.

Who this template suits

When it is not a good fit

It is not a match for serious stories or for characters who are strangers.

Questions about The Friend Who Really Can Take Photos

Which panel gets the laugh?

Panel 3. The grid of bad photos is the payoff, so keep six small, clearly different failures.

Why end with a timer selfie?

It turns the complaint into a warm moment: they solve it together instead of arguing.

Is there text in the image?

No. A tiny timer icon is the only symbol.
