Four newsprint panels, one gag, ben-day dots — the comics page sells the product before the punchline lands.

Vertical 4:5 newspaper comic strip: four hand-inked panels stacked two-by-two on aged newsprint, visible paper fiber, ben-day dot shading, and slightly misregistered CMYK so color bleeds a hair past the linework. The strip sells [PRODUCT — e.g. "Sonda, a memory-foam mattress-in-a-box"]. Strip masthead top-left in hand-lettered caps: "SNOOZEVILLE". Panel 1: a rumpled character lies wide-eyed in bed in the dark, alarm clock reading "3:12", thought balloon: "WHY IS MY MATTRESS MADE OF REGRET?" Panel 2: a chaotic scribble of flipping pillows and kicked blankets, sound-effect lettering: "FLIP! FLOP!" Panel 3: daytime, the same character hugging a big delivery box printed "SONDA", caption box: "TUESDAY:" Panel 4: the character asleep in blissful diagonal sprawl, a tiny "ZZZZZ" floating up, bottom caption strip: "SONDA. THE PLOT TWIST YOUR BACK DESERVES." Classic syndicated-strip art: confident brush linework, flat retro palette, squash-and-stretch expressions, balloons pointed at the right speaker. All balloon and caption text in clean comic hand-lettering, spelled exactly as written. No real comic characters or strips, no manga styling, no watermark, no garbled lettering.
