A small-town pastor keeps finding a stranger in the back pew of every service who is gone when the lights come up, and every issue one member of the congregation tells what the stranger said to them.
In the Stained Glass look
Start with this ideaA parable was always a story told to a room, and a congregation has stories of its own: the flood year, the building fund, the choir that would not quit. Put one in the premise and the studio writes it as issues and draws it in a look from stained glass to picture-book paint.

Write the parable or the story in your own words: who it's about, where it's set, what turns. Everyone as the rating for the bulletin, Teen for a youth group that wants the hard parts.
Stained Glass for the windows your building wishes it had, Storybook Gouache for the little ones, Woodland Fable for a parable set in the fields.
Give it a cast: the shepherd, the pastor, the organist, the sheep. Photos of real members are welcome with their permission, or describe them and let the studio draw them from your words.
One parable an issue, or one chapter of the church's own story. Read each script first, then download the finished issue to play at the service or its panels for the bulletin.
Press start and the premise lands in the box of a new comic with its look already picked. Change every word, or the look, before anything is drawn.

Start with this ideaOr in any of the twenty-eight. A comic picks one look on its second step, and every panel of every issue keeps it.




Yes. The old stories belong to everyone — retell one in your own words with your own cast, in your own town if you like. Named characters someone else owns are the ones that aren't drawn.
Yes, with their permission. Each photo asks you to confirm you have it for anyone in it, and the person is drawn in your look from it, the same face in every panel.
Yes. Every comic keeps its own schedule, so a new issue can come each week for the bulletin from the ideas you place on its dates, and you read each script before it's drawn.
