Panel 1 : Int. Police Squad Room – Day

A tech sits in front of a monitor and keyboard. A police sergeant leans over his sholder.

Tech
Sergeant! We have security camera footage from the crime scene!
Sergeant
Show me.
Panel 2 : Int. Police Squad Room – Continuous

Close on the monitor: grainy footage of a parking garage. The sergeant points at a small, dark silhouette of a figure walking.

Sergeant
There’s our perp. Enhance!
Panel 3 : Int. Police Squad Room – Continuous

The footage zooms in 200% on the silhouette. Not much more detail.

Sergeant
Enhance again!
Panel 4 : Int. Police Squad Room – Continuous

The footage zooms in to 400%. A little contrast in the figure, but still not enough.

Sergeant
Enhance using generative A.I.!
Panel 5 : Int. Police Squad Room – Continuous

The footage transforms into a purple-haired anime waifu with… a rather large chest. She winks and throws up the “peace” sign.

Panel 6 : Int. Police Squad Room – Continuous

Back to the tech and the sergeant.

Sergeant
Nice.

Notes

Fun fact: this is actually a redraw of a comic I first drew over 10 years ago. The original was part of an earlier version of my comics website called Funny Comics For Cool People. I produced about a dozen comics for it, but never actually launched the site. I always liked this idea, though. So I thought I’d take another swing at it.

All loved ones alive and well.

Well that’s no fun.
