Tor's Tech Toons Ep. 1

Title: "Wi-Fried Minds"

Panel 1: "The Paranoid Buzz"

Scene: Office break room with a coffee machine, microwave, and a noticeboard with a passive-aggressive flyer (“CLEAN YOUR MUGS”).
Characters:

Bob: Slightly disheveled techie — messy hair, hoodie with binary print, paranoid eyes.

Jen: Calm, sarcastic coworker — neat business casual, holding coffee.


Layout:

Medium shot of both sipping coffee. Bob is slightly hunched and whispering.

Jen looks sideways at him, deadpan.


Dialogue:

Bob (whispering): "Ever since we upgraded to Wi-Fi 6... I feel it. The hum. The brain buzz."

Jen: "Bro, that's just caffeine and sleep deprivation."

Panel 2: "The Reveal"

Scene: Same room, but now Bob’s holding a shiny tin foil hat shaped like a Wi-Fi router (complete with fake antennas and blinking LEDs made from stickers).
Characters:

Bob is standing now, one arm extended holding the hat dramatically like it’s the One Ring.

Jen is sipping her coffee without reacting, side-eyeing him again.


Layout:

Close-up on Bob, tin foil hat in full glory, exaggerated shiny effect.

Jen in background, unimpressed.


Dialogue:

Bob: "Behold. My patented Wi-Fi dampener. Blocks interference and corporate thought control."

Panel 3: "The Surveillance Twist"

Scene: IT control room. Two IT guys watching Bob on a CCTV feed. Tech clutter everywhere: Ethernet cables, old routers, energy drinks.
Characters:

IT Guy 1: Clean-shaven, holding a tablet, slightly amused.

IT Guy 2: Bearded, rolling chair, smirking while typing.


Layout:

Over-the-shoulder shot showing the screen: Bob in the break room, proudly wearing the hat.

IT guys in foreground, laughing quietly.


Dialogue:

IT Guy 1: "Should we tell him the hat actually amplifies the signal?"

IT Guy 2: "Nah, his download speeds are incredible now."
