4 panel comic

Panel 1:
A post from “kavishj9611” that reads: 

“All the people who are anti-Al or want to slow Al progress, I have one question:
If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you still get through an entire workday without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
Al tool?
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
Would you actually be willing to give it up?”

Panel 2:
And Orange Guy and a Pink Guy are standing in a room that has two pipes in it. Both pipes are pumping raw sewage into the room. The characters are waist deep in it.
Orange Guy says smugly “Ok Mr “I don’t want to be in a room that’s filling up with raw sewage” let me ask you this”

Panel 3:
The sewage has reached their chests. Pink Guy is gagging. Orange Guy smugly continues “If all this sewage disappeared right now, could you get through the day without it?”

Panel 4:
The sewage is almost up to their eyeballs. Orange Guys says “Look at that shit floating past your face. Are you willing to give that up?”

Heathcliff and the Summer Mummy- a mummy wearing board shorts and sunglasses with a broad smile- both ride on surfboards next to each other. They both have small fish bowls on top of their head, and each of their fish says "Bro". Two surfers watch them shred, and one of the surfers says "Dude."

When you know the work "Weird Al" has put in throughout his career to understand and pay homage to the sound, instrumentation, and production techniques of the artists he parodies, you know he has always operated from a place of utmost love and respect for the creativity and effort of artists.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a kid stands in front of his science fair presentation on a three-sided cardboard display. The display reads: When I grow up, I want to be… THE LARGEST SEA CREATURE. Panel 2: the kid, now matured, is walking into the ocean confidently. He’s turned back toward the shore, smiling and waving at his parents who are standing a few meters behind him, right where the water meets the shore. They’re waving back to him. Panel 3: from a bird’s eye view the kid can be seen under the surface of the water. He’s massive and only a portion of his face is in frame. His father, who appears older, is paddling alone in a canoe above his son’s submerged gigantic face.

Ignoring the fact this is not how the money works re: Iran, Democrats love to post "with all the wasted money we could do all of these things that we also do not support."
@amyklobuchar
With $300 billion, we could end homelessness, fund cancer research for 40 years, and give every child free pre-K for over 7 years. Instead, Trump is sending it to Iran. This is not America First. Not even close.

Finishing up my work on season 2 of THE DEAD (coming this summer wherever podcasts are sold) and I can't recall if I've shared this or not but here are the writers guidelines I developed for the show. Good rules of thumb for any podcast though, my two cents as a pod writer for over a decade.
IT’S NOT A MOVIE!

WRITING GUIDELINES for THE DEAD: SEASON 2

Something exciting must happen in the first 5 pages.

THERE MUST BE AN AD BREAK AT THE HALFWAY POINT WITH A ‘DON’T TOUCH THAT DIAL!’ MOMENT.

Go ahead and make that ending punchy too. 
These are one shots, let’s make every shot count.

Any action line that doesn't include a sound is not effective! Keep action lines as simple as possible with a focus on the audio, not the visual. The audience isn’t reading it and the visual atmosphere built in these lines doesn’t exist in podcasts.

25 - 30 pages. The tighter the better. 

Respect the listener’s attention and geography. 
A gang of 6 with 3 lines each is less effective than a gang of 3 with 6 lines each. Limit characters for clarity

Just call them zombies or ‘the dead’. Unless you have a very good, interesting, fresh, and narrative or thematic NECESSARY reason to find a new synonym for walking or biting, just call them zombies. 
The George A. Romero Foundation has outright banned words like ‘Walker’ or ‘Zed’ from other big zombie franchises!

BEWARE OF FOOTSTEPS. Footsteps are implied. Scenes should not rely on hearing footsteps. Footsteps are added as a last resort as they can be impressively distracting and tricky to build. This is The Dead, not The Walking Dead.
BEWARE OF BACKGROUND DRONE. Scenes should not have a distracting background sound to be tolerated for 4.5 minutes. (The sound of car horns in traffic is fine for example, but a car alarm will quickly ruin a scene.)

Sound design will enhance your script like seasoning a meal, but too much salt will turn the soup. 
Use it wisely. Avoid script notes longer than 5 lines per page, total. Sound design descriptors are subject to change and fluid in any podcast script, so don’t get too precious!

Target audience is 18-24 + 35-45! HORROR IS SCARY BE SCARY.

Have fun and be yourself :)

Star Trek Enterprise scene. 🎶ITS BEEN A LONG ROAD🎶
Ok, so, we're in one of those scenes where people are in a dreamlike state or maybe a liminal space between realities. Entirely white, misty foggy type backdrop, no other imagery or people or anything, just white. We see a scaley skinned flat snakey nose looking lady with no hair and some odd shaping to her noggin. (She's like a slightly reptilian humanoid alien lady) We see her in two views, soap opera style, one blurry in the background, and then her in focus face up close. Closed caption reads, "The favorable timelines continue to diminish."
