It can help people developing short comics, storyboards, character moments, or illustration concepts\. It is especially suited to story ideas that can be expressed as one compact sequence of four panels\. ### What should I enter as the story text? Enter the story or scene you want represented in the comic\. The saved example uses the premise “a frog is showing off his magic hat,” but you can replace that text with your own story in Fuser\. ### What inputs can I change in Fuser?

It is a saved example rather than a live run or a guarantee of how a new story will be represented\. ### Can I use this for emotional as well as humorous stories? Yes\.
