Strong rule: style --- Comic Book ---. Comic Book style, horizontal landscape. A highly relatable, stressful montage. A close-up of a gas pump meter spinning wildly out of control; a hand holding a grocery receipt with an impossibly high total; and a glowing, ominous utility bill stamped with 'PAST DUE' in bold red ink. The perspective is tight and claustrophobic, using heavy shadows and anxious, jagged linework to make the viewer viscerally feel the financial squeeze of basic survival essentials.
