p1: Autumn is stewing on the couch next to a nonchalant but pleased Summer. Autumn is also wearing an extremely tall hat that reads “I got divorced at Slick Eddy’s Legal Hut and all I got was this sexy hat and also divorced.”
p2: Autumn snaps, Summer smirks. Autumn: The whole POINT is that it’s not true, you just don’t get it! Summer: Whatever you say. Poser

A seafoam washy swimming down a floating river. There's rapids along the way. She's holding up fin almost to indicate the glowing clock that adds time while you ride her down to the island with a star. You only have so much time before it disappears and she has to take you all the way back up empty handed.

p1) an outside wide shot of the exterior of a restaurant. There's a sign that reads "Lil Joey's"
Ann: "I can't believe it,"
p2) Now viewing the inside of the establishment, we are peering at our two heroes from around a wall. They are both sitting at a diner booth with food in front of them. Ann with a cup of steaming hot coffee and a stack of pancakes while Ormer has a place of eggs and some water. There's a plaque on the wall in the foreground that reads: 'It is at this spot at this Lil' Joey's of the evening of the 4th of October 1997 that the 30th prime-minister defecated his pants.'
Ann: "You blew up a guy, and the reward from the stolen stuff, doesn't even cover breakfast."
p3) A side view of the two of them. Ormer is staring down at his meal.
Ann: "Which, if you're just going to push your eggs around, I can just eat 'em for you."Three panel Amelbury comic page.
p1-2) Ormer is holding his fork, which has a big glob of egg stuck on the end, in his hand. He's gesturing with his hands before awkwardly shoving the food into his mouth.
Ormer: "No no, I'll eat it. I've been told to eat more anyway, I'm just thinking..."
p3) different angle, now Ormer has  mouthful of egg while talking.\
Ormer: "He was our first villain, right? So I was thinkin'-"
Ann: "At least chew first!"

p1) a closeup of the stump's contents
p2) We now focus on the exploded tree. It crackles as the fire roars from within.
p3) The Dropbear lies unconscious on the ground, his rump sizzling with smoke.three panel Amelbury comic page.
p1) The perspective returns to Ann and Ormer. Ann, beat up, gives a critical look to her friend.
Ann: "What the hell?"
p2) Ormer does a sick action pose, swooshing the water bottle in his hand for emphasis.
Ormer: "After The Dropbear knocked you out, I performed some clever heroics to beat him!"
p3) The camera shot zooms in on Ormer a bit, he puts his finger and  thumb under his chin to show just how cool he is. The water bottle is still there too I guess.
Ormer: "Turns out that his diet was his very downfall!"

a two page spread splash page from Amelbury
p1) a sub panel within the larger piece. It shows a closeup of Ann finally coming to after being knocked unconscious by her villainous assailant.
p2) A full two page spread showing the aftermath of the altercation. Ann sits up, looking at the carnage while Ormer sits by, holding a water bottle in the opposite hand that's wiping the spit off his face. The background shows the tree stump still gushing items and the Dropbear laying on his face with a smoking behind in front of a burning tree.
Ormer: "Oh good, you're awake!"

p1: Autumn is sitting on a stool, addressing the audience. Autumn: Until today, the topic of AI in the workplace has gone undiscussed in this here comic strip. Given its nature, it feels like a substantial omission. Frankly, the degree to which we think it’s suck-ass makes it difficult to voice a more meaningful critique beyond “doesn’t this suck ass?” Still, we must satisfy the pedantic dweeb in our hearts. To that end, the cast of Nothing Doing now presents to you “Basically Every Comic We Would Make About AI”
p2: Harvey is reading papers at a table. Harvey: Ok, next item on the agenda. In the interest of providing the most cutting-edge service for our customers, we have secured each of you a license to use the suicide engine.
p3: Across from Harvey, the King of Sales sits tiredly while Autumn concernedly raises a hand. H: On each of your desks is a hammer, and- what’s up, Autumn? A: I don’t want to use the suicide engine
p4: Harvey rolls his eyes at an unconvinced Autumn. H: Autumn, it’s impossible for a company to stay competitive and relevant in today’s market without embracing suicide. If you don’t start killing yourselves now, we’re going to get left behind

p4) A close-up of the boot stepping onto Ormer's defenseless face. A crunch begins before cutting to a white panel.Three panel Amelbury comic page.
p1-2) SNNNIFF. This criminal, the Dropbear, notices something off wafting around his head. a cloud of gas trailing along the frame behind him. He turns.
Dropbear: "smoke?"
p3) Egads!? Ormer sits up now that the weight of the marsupial man is off of him. He poses in a cheeky way.

p2: Autumn, head in their hands, leans down towards the table as Summer pats their back. Summer: Come on, it wasn’t that bad. At least you were smiling! Or, well, you were for sure showing your teeth. A: Ugh I knew I couldn’t do this… she must think I’m such a freak
p3: Jeanie walks towards the bar, rubbing her hands together nervously. Jeanie, thinking: I can’t believe it… zines! Only the most interesting and sexually dynamic people make those! And they know themself so well -- I feel like I don’t know anything! They both must think I’m so boring… I gotta show them I’m cool… exciting!
p4: Jeanie, looking scared, slams her hands down on the bar, startling the raccoon bartender who is popping the bottlecap off a beer. J: GIVE ME AS MANY DRINKS AS IT TAKES TO MAKE ME EXCITING, please
