Panel 1
*Setting: Alex’s garage workshop with a futuristic car dashboard and an iPad screen. Alex is tinkering with a car and Sam is looking over his shoulder.* Sam (deadpan)
Alex: I’m upgrading to CarPlay Ultra! It’s like having an iPad Pro in my dashboard.
Sam: So, it’s just a better screen?
Alex: No, it’s revolutionary!
Panel 2
*Setting: Same scene, but now Robin enters with a cardboard cutout of a car.* Robin (chaotic) Sam (skeptical) Robin (excited)
Robin: I’m making a model car to show how cool the new screen is!
Sam: And how does that work exactly?
Robin: It’s a moving picture, duh!
Panel 3
*Setting: Alex’s garage, now with Robin playing with the model car and Alex showing off a sleek car dashboard with a large, high-resolution screen. Sam is still deadpan but slightly impressed.* Sam (mildly impressed) Alex (optimistic) Robin (chaotic)
Alex: Check this out, Sam! It’s like having a personal assistant in my car!
Sam: So, it’s better maps and smoother apps?
Alex: It’s the future, man! And Robin, you should try it in a real car!
Robin: But I’m too cool for school!
