- Panel 1 · Setup. Show who the character is and where they are.
- Panel 2 · Development. Something happens: a problem, a wish or a question.
- Panel 3 · Twist. The situation changes unexpectedly.
- Panel 4 · Punchline. The ending: a joke, a surprise or the solution.
Four-panel strips are the newspaper comic strip format: they almost always end with a joke or a surprise in the last panel.
