Cosmo

Modal — Paul's favorite from v2 — in six American newspaper strips. Same character, varied face, his own small stories. Veteran-companion register. Dry. Quiet enough to hear.

What this is

An experimental strip series — Modal from v2, Paul's favorite, given his own small stories. Cosmo as he might appear in a Sunday paper. The voice is from CHARACTER.md, scenes are from PRODUCT.md moments, the bubbles use the same Geist + tail treatment as the rest of the brand surfaces.

Every panel uses the v2 Modal silhouette (head + Signal-yellow body band) with face variations defined inline as SVG <symbol>s — nothing in cosmo-pixel-v2/ or cosmo-pixel-v3/ was modified. This file is fully self-contained.

If you want to extend it

Each strip is one <article class="strip"> with a metadata bar and a panel grid. Add panels by copying the <div class="panel"> pattern; reuse any of the eight defined Modal expressions via <svg class="cosmo"><use href="#m-rest"/></svg>.

Strip ideas still on the table: "$12 / month" (pricing), "Two install targets" (Claude Code vs platform), "DESIGN.md vs SKILL.md" (the choice point), "Refused" (a longer take on what happens when a skill fails the eval gate). Tell me which to draw and I'll add them.
