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.
Panel 1
A bright office lobby. A curly-haired worker in an orange jacket, white tee and navy trousers walks in smiling with a takeaway coffee and a shoulder bag. A receptionist sits at the front desk. The battery icon shows four full green bars.
Panel 2
A round meeting table. Colleagues gesture at a pie chart on the wall screen while the worker takes notes with a slightly blank stare. The battery is down to three bars.
Panel 3
At a desk, chin in hand, the worker stares at a spreadsheet on a big monitor with a scribble cloud above their head. The battery has one red bar and is blinking.
Panel 4
The worker bursts out through open elevator doors mid-leap, bag flying and fist pumped, while a colleague waves behind them. The battery is fully green again.

Who this template suits
This template suits office workers, students and anyone with a very specific energy curve. The battery icon in the corner of each panel tracks the mood without words, and the final full charge at home time is a universally relatable punchline. It fits workplace humour, Monday posts and productivity accounts.
When it is not a good fit
It is not built for romance or emotional stories, and it does not need dialogue.
How to remix The Monday Battery Report
- 1Keep the battery icon in the top-left of all four panels.
- 2Drain it through two work scenes: a meeting, then a spreadsheet.
- 3Refill it to full in the last panel as your character dashes out.
Ways to make it your own
Change the drain
Use a long lecture, a family gathering or a group project call.
Change the charger
Instead of home time, end on a lunch break, a pay day notice or a cancelled meeting.
Add a rival battery
Give a coworker a battery that stays full all day as a contrast.
Questions about The Monday Battery Report
Why keep the battery in the same spot?
Readers learn to check the top-left corner, so the drop and the sudden refill land instantly.
What is the punchline?
Panel 4. The battery jumps straight from red to full the moment work ends.
Does the character need the orange jacket?
A single bold colour keeps them visible in busy office scenes, so choose one signature colour.
