Comic-strip pages
A story told as 'comic strip' pages: inked panels with Ben-Day dots and speed lines, each page's beat in a caption box and its detail in a speech balloon from off-panel, the page number in a burst — no characters, just the comic's grammar. Light, quick and made to be swiped.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Comic-strip pages for posts that entertain, start a conversation or teach, when the message is a story or steps or a process. It is built first to entertain.
It reads each post’s goal and shape first, then its own words, the platform and the facts you have, and offers this template only where it fits.
Who it’s for
Any business. Nothing in it assumes what you sell, so the Director can offer it to a software company, a café or a coaching centre alike — whenever the post fits.

What it needs
Only your post. It is made from your copy and your brand kit — there is nothing else to prepare.
Rules the AI follows
Word for word from the template library. The Director follows the copy rules when it writes into the template, and the visual review checks every creative against the visual rules.
Copy rules
- Only for a light story told beat by beat (a mishap, a rescue, a customer's day); not for serious news, complaints or anything sensitive.
- Captions narrate and balloons speak: the balloon's words come from the copy, never put in a real person's mouth unless the post quotes them.
- No invented characters, names, numbers or events; the closing line follows from the last beat.
Visual rules
- Inked comic panels with thick black borders and white gutters: a halftone-dotted panel with a tilted caption box holding the beat, a dark panel with speed lines and a big white speech balloon with a tail from off-panel, and a small brand panel with the page number in a burst.
- The cover has a brand masthead with the logo, the title in a tilted caption box and the subtitle in a balloon; the closing page is one dark panel with the call to action in a balloon under 'And then…'.
- No characters, faces or borrowed comic art — only panels, dots, rays, bursts and balloons.
