Simple Four-Panel Comic

Create an original minimal editorial comic image for Northstar AI featuring an original character trying to automate a task that only takes one minute. Objective: Tell a complete visual joke with clear pacing and editable captions. Composition: Exactly four equal panels, consistent camera, one action per panel and blank caption bubbles. Lighting and material treatment: Controlled editorial lighting, coherent materials and a restrained palette suited to the stated medium. Typography: do not include any words, letters, numbers or signatures. Use a deliberate hierarchy, clean edges, realistic shadows where appropriate, and enough negative space for editorial reuse. Output a polished 4:5 vertical composition unless the user specifies another ratio. Required constraints: No existing meme character, rendered dialogue, brand UI or unexplained scene changes. Do not add watermarks, fake certifications, unreadable filler text, duplicated objects, distorted anatomy, or unrequested logos. Preserve any uploaded product, person, or interface as the identity reference rather than redesigning it.
