Panel 1
Alex, holding a prototype, excitedly points at the device. Sam, nodding, Alex, smugly,
Alex: And here it is, my invention of the year! A fitness tracker that doesn't need a screen, because people can't afford to wear a watch.
Sam: Good thinking, Alex. No need for a watch. You can just count your steps, right?
Alex: Exactly, Sam. And you know what? They're already making it!
Panel 2
Robins, appearing out of nowhere, holding a Whoop tracker. Alex, flustered,
Robins: Wait a minute, Alex. Whoop already has a similar product. Maybe you should have waited for them.
Alex: Whoop? The one with the big red logo? They're a joke! They can't even keep their product's design in sync with the latest fashion trends.
Panel 3
Alex, frustrated, Sam, dryly, Robins, shrugging,
Alex: And look at that, they're already marketing it. I need to hurry and get this thing out so I can beat them to the market. Who knows, maybe I can even get a patent for it.
Sam: So, Alex? You're going to beat Whoop by making a product that looks like a band, and no one can even see? That's a pretty clever strategy there.
Robins: Maybe, but you'll still need to convince people that it's better, not just different. And remember, no screen? People won't be able to see their own steps. Good luck with that.
