Turn any story into a cartoon, then pick which kind.

Matching the look to the story

Every cartoon look is a Clippie style, so all of them work in either frame:

• Polished cartoon: Clean and bright. Good for Reddit stories, confessions and workplace drama.
• Vibrant cartoon: The same style, with louder colours, for comedy and fast shorts.
• 90s Disney: Warm and hand-drawn, for fairy tales and fables.
• Adult cartoon: Bold outlines and exaggerated faces, for grown-up humour.
• Corporate satire: Dark 2D with office humour, for work and money stories.
• Creepy and Dark cartoon: Shadows and wide eyes, for horror. See the creepy cartoon page.

Keeping one character the same

A cartoon falls apart if the hero changes shirt between scenes. Add a character with a name and a “Looks like” line, and mention them with @ in your script. Be specific: “short man, red beanie, green jacket, big glasses”. Then look through the scenes and redraw any that drifted.

Writing for a drawn scene

Each line usually becomes its own picture, so it helps to write things that can be seen. “He was angry” gives the picture little. “He slammed the phone on the table” gives it a scene. For more control, add instructions to a scene and steer how it gets drawn.
