Diary comic. Purple ink in sketchbook. PANEL 1 A kid holds up a drawing of a round fish-looking shark with a little police hat. Kid: I made this character. It’s a shark that’s a cop. PANEL 2 The kid talks to Gale, who’s sitting at a signing table. Kid:I’ve drawn a bunch of stories about it. Shark Cop. It fights with its teeth and electricity. Gale: oh!! PANEL 3 Gale leans in. Gale: you must love drawing. Kid: yeah!! PANEL 4 The kid looks down at his Apple Watch. Kid: oh also I told my dad about Shark Cop and he got AI to make a picture. PANEL 5 Close on the watch, which is showing an image of a very rendered muscly anthropomorphic shark (as attempted by me). Kid: here it is! PA 6 Gale looks at the watch. PANEL 7 Gale looks at the kid, who brightens. Gale: you know, I like yours way better.
