A four-panel comic strip in a classic American cartoon style that illustrates the concept of “No pain, no gain.”
Panel 1: A determined character, possibly a young adult or teenager, is shown at the starting line of a race or facing a large, challenging obstacle, like a high wall or heavy weights. They have a confident expression, but the challenge ahead is visibly daunting.
Panel 2: The character is in the midst of the challenge, struggling intensely—sweat pouring down their face, muscles straining, and a look of frustration or pain. The environment around them is exaggerated to emphasize the difficulty, such as a steep incline or an overwhelming number of weights.
Panel 3: The character begins to see progress—the obstacle is almost overcome, or they are close to the finish line. Their expression changes to one of determination mixed with surprise, realizing they are about to succeed. The background starts to lighten up, symbolizing hope.
Panel 4: The character is shown victorious, with a huge smile and triumphant pose, perhaps holding a trophy or standing at the top of the conquered obstacle. The scene is bright and celebratory, with rays of sunlight or confetti, capturing the essence of “gain” after enduring the “pain.” ‐‐s 500 ‐‐q 2 ‐‐v 6.1 ‐‐ar 4:3
