okay let's try this way (probably better if you're on mobile anyway)

HOT KNIGHT page 1/21
panel 1 shows two large looming magical-looking figures standing over a very small knight. one of the figures says, "Any last words before we condemn you to the Pit of Darkness for all enternity?" panel 2 shows the knight, "Yes. May I please have..." panel 3, cont. on the knight "... one last kiss?" panel 4 - the large figure on the left "uuuugh, Fine." panel 5 the figure leans down to the knight and they kiss. panel 5 the figure leans down to the knight and they kiss. panel 6, the second large figure says flustered, "... I had no idea you were together." the second figure, flustered, says "Yeeahhh..."

HOT KNIGHT page 5/21

a riveting backstory...
panel 1 - Hot Knight lounges with Gorm and Olgi, telling them their story "So then, the Moon Wizard and the Star Wizard took me in as an apprentice, in exchange for some household labor." panel 2 - Hot Knight's recalling a memory, thinking bubble shows Moon Wizard leering over at Hot Knight as they sweep a floor in a sexy cleaning uniform. "And of course, I caught the Moon Wizard's eye pretty quickly. They probably shouldnt've given me that skimpy little cleaning uniform." panel 1 - Hot Knight is recalling a memory, thinking bubble showing the Star Wizard mixing potions while the Moon Wizard and Hot Knight kiss in the background. "We hit it off- what can I say? It was fun. The Star Wizard was none the wiser..." panel 2 - Hot Knight recalls a memory, thinking bubble showing Hot Knight looking at an amulet that looks like a bug under a class container, Moon Wizard sleeping in the background. "We had a good run, but I was after something bigger- an amulet that could give me more magic than those Wizards could teach." panel 1- Hot Knight points to the amulet, which is on their chest plate, Olgi and Gorm look at it closely. "So I took it and forged it into my armor! Looks pretty cool, right?" panel 2- Hot Knight wraps up their story "Anyway, they weren't too happy about that, so they cast me into the Pit for all eternity, and now here I am! And that's my story!" Olgi blushes and claps, Gorm looks at Olgi judgmentally.

whoa nice buddy #makeaterriblecomicday2025
A three panel comic. First panel: two people are having penetrative sex in the shower, person bottoming is bent over forward and the person topping is railing them from behind. Second panel: Zoomed closer in, a spider is slowly lowering from the window pane in the shower, the person bent over has a nervous look on their face. Third panel: Close in on the spider, the spider is smiling, all eight eyes watching the people doing it. It's giving a big cartoonish thumbs up.

Anyway, this is T.V. Dad
panel 1 - A title screen akin to the sitcoms of the 1950's. It reads "Franklin Studios presents... T.V. DAD! America's favorite dad!" With the heads of the 4 characters floating around. A dad with a fedora and a pipe, a mom, a little brother and a big sister. panel 2 - Dad is sitting in the back at a kitchen table with his face covered by a newspaper, mom is in the foreground with eggs in a skillet.

Where's the fire!?" panel 4 - Son and Daughter are circling Dad, who looks confused, as audience laughs. Son says "I wasn't snooping! You left it open on your bed!" Daughter says "Did not, you little liar!" Son says "Did too!" panel 5 - Daughter: "You should learn to respect my privacy!" Son: "You should cool it! panel 6 - Son: "I don't think ROBBIE is gonna wanna date someone so violent." Audience "Oooooo"'s panel 1 - Daughter, enraged: "You DID snoop! UGH!!" panel 2 - Daughter chasing son around Dad. Daughter says "I can't BELIEVE you would do this to me! Dad, DO something!" panel 3 - Son: "She's going crazy!!

A drawing of a cute, cartoony baby black goat with big horns and a third, evil-looking eye in the middle of its forehead. He has big eyes and is smiling with a pointed tongue sticking out of its mouth. It's standing on a purple rock, in front of a background radiating red, orange and yellow.
