Newspaper Strip comic style

Cozy, gentle, slice-of-life — the Sunday-morning comic feel.

The Newspaper Strip style mimics warm 1960s Sunday comics: cream-paper backgrounds, blue-black ink, restrained spot color, and expressive but simple character art. It feels nostalgic and intimate, like a comic that always lived on the kitchen table.
