Observations

The style combines energetic cartoon drawing with thick black ink contours, simplified graphic forms, and highly exaggerated facial expressions and poses. Most panels use cream paper and near-monochrome ink, while selected scenes add vivid red, orange, green, and ochre accents with rough painterly background texture.
