Comic: meanwhile…
A single comic-book panel: a 'MEANWHILE, AT…' caption box, Ben-Day dots and speed lines in the brand colour, a big sound-effect burst and a speech balloon from off-panel carrying the message — a story beat told like the comics.

When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Comic: meanwhile… for posts that entertain, start a conversation or announce news, when the message is a story or one sharp insight. 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.

Single image. Each size is laid out for its canvas, not cropped; the sample above is the 4:5 version.
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
- Tell one beat: the caption sets the scene, the balloon says the post's point out loud.
- The speaker stays off-panel — never name or depict a real person; facts only from the post.
Visual rules
- One comic panel with a heavy black border: Ben-Day dots and faint speed lines in the brand colour.
- A cream caption box with a hard black shadow top left, a white speech balloon with a black outline and a tail running off-panel, a jagged sound-effect burst with outlined italic lettering.
- The logo in a small white box in the top-right corner of the panel.
