Try a four-beat comic

In The Paper Moon, the cat plans a trip, folds a paper rocket and launches it. The final panel reveals that the cardboard box was the best destination all along.

Write one sentence for each beat before you draw. Leave space for speech bubbles as you sketch and read the whole strip once before adding the lettering.

Use the comic strip script generator to draft your beats, or follow the story-to-comic guide to turn a longer scene into panels.
