A humorous illustrated story titled "Sincerely Yours," exploring the struggle of choosing the perfect email sign-off. The visuals follow a quirky, cartoonish style with warm and earthy colors. Panel 1: A lone figure sits at a desk under a bare tree with an orange backdrop. The figure, holding a tiny umbrella, types on a computer. The caption reflects on composing an email: "The wording is proper, the subject line is okay. It's ready to send, I spent ages composing. The only thing missing is the email's closing." Panel 2: The scene shifts underground, showing various chambers representing the writer's overthinking. One chamber shows a person contemplating at a desk, while others hold filing cabinets and discarded paper. The caption continues: "There must be a line that perfectly sums it up, one that shows how I feel but not too much." Panel 3: The focus is on the writer in another underground chamber, struggling with options. They compare "Sincerely yours" and "Yours sincerely," seeking a balance of warmth and professionalism. The caption humorously notes: "I want to show I'm not too fickle and most definitely not skittish." Panel 4: Deeper underground, the chambers explore different sign-off ideas. One considers "Warm regards" but questions its sincerity. Another ponders "Forever yours" or "With love," which feels too extreme. The caption jokes about overanalyzing: "Everything I think of leads in the wrong direction." Panel 5: More chambers delve into casual and quirky sign-offs, such as "All the best" (too bold) and "XOXO" (too playful). The writer considers practical phrases like "Thanks" but second-guesses their appropriateness. Panel 6: The final panel shows the writer's internal chaos reaching its peak. They hesitate over options like "Take care" or "Stay safe," worried they might sound too personal or ominous. The story ends with the realization: "Oh wait, did I just press Send?"
