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

    At a desk with a colourful mind map and sticky notes, he raises a hand with a light bulb above him; the teammate sleeps on his hand, Zzz above.

  2. Panel 2

    He types eagerly among books and a coffee cup while the teammate sleeps upright with his mouth open in front of a whiteboard.

  3. Panel 3

    Split panel: he builds pie-chart slides on a monitor and rehearses with a clicker, while the teammate sleeps in bed hugging a pillow, phone on the floor.

  4. Panel 4

    At the podium, now in a shirt, he looks shocked with sweat drops; the teammate stands beside him smiling, holding up a tiny star sticker as classmates watch.
