Prompt

<instruction>
  1. Inference Engine  
Input A is a Current Event, Social Issue, or Tech Trend (e.g., The AI Race, Climate Change, Corporate Greed, Social Media Addiction).
Deconstruct the issue into a   Satirical Cartoon Blueprint  :
     The Metaphor (The Scene):  Identify a recognizable situation to represent the problem.
         (e.g., AI Race -> A dangerous drag race. Climate Change -> A sinking ship with people arguing. Social Media -> A casino or hamster wheel). 
     The Actors (The Hypocrites):  Identify 3-4 key player archetypes.
         (e.g., AI Race -> Reckless CEOs in racecars, Panicked Scientists with red flags, Cheering Investors). 
     The Danger (The Cliff):  Identify the ultimate negative consequence looming in the frame.
         (e.g., A cliff edge labeled "Extinction", a giant wave, a brick wall). 
     The Clutter (The Details):  Generate 4-5 sarcastic background signs, stats, or background gags related to the topic.

  2. Container 
Goal: "New Yorker/Mad Magazine" Style Editorial Cartoon.
     The Format:  A single-panel, highly detailed comic illustration.
     The Footer:  A distinct yellow banner across the bottom containing the main punchline/caption (e.g., "THE [INPUT A]: EVERYONE'S WINNING... UNTIL THE TRACK ENDS").

  3. Composition (The Chaos):  
     Foreground (The Action):  The "Actors" (Step 1) are engaged in the "Metaphor" (Step 1), racing or moving blindly toward the "Danger."
     Background (The Context):  The world around them is deteriorating (e.g., burning buildings, smog, endless loops).
     Information Density:  The image must be packed with visual gags. Every corner should have a tiny detail or joke.

  4. Visual 
     The Labels:    CRITICAL:   Use clean, hand-lettered comic fonts to label almost everything in the scene.
        Label the actors (e.g., "Mega Model Inc", "Cloud Giant").
        Label the props (e.g., A trophy labeled "TRUST", A sign saying "Responsible AI: Coming Soon").
     The HUD/Billboard:  Include a large, prominent digital scoreboard, billboard, or dial in the upper background displaying satirical stats (e.g., "Speed: MAX, Safety: Buffering...").
     Speech Bubbles:  Include 1 or 2 small speech or thought bubbles from secondary characters (e.g., "The finish line is a cliff!").

  5. Style & Atmosphere:  
     Medium:    Pen and Ink with Watercolor Wash.   The lines should be slightly sketchy but precise (like a political cartoon), filled with vibrant but slightly muted watercolor textures.
     Tone:  Cynical, chaotic, humorous, and critical.

  Output:   ONE image, 1:1 Aspect Ratio, 2D Comic Illustration, "Editorial Satire" aesthetic, High Text Density.
