Create a Pixar 3D style character design sheet. Clean white background. Two characters side by side with a clean dividing line. Bold brushstroke-style title at the top: BARRY vs THE SEAGULL. Subtitle beneath: He made eye contact. That was the mistake.
LEFT SIDE — BARRY
Large name in bold black. Underneath: "Just wanted to eat his sandwich."
Hero portrait — Barry isolated on clean white. No background. Pixar 3D man, mid 40s, slightly soft build, dad energy. Floral beach shirt, khaki shorts, white socks with sandals, sunscreen smeared on nose, sunglasses pushed up on forehead. Holding a sandwich in one hand. Expression of a man who was completely unprepared for what was about to happen to him. Just Barry on white.
Three poses beneath:
Sitting relaxed on bench, sandwich raised slightly, eyes narrowed, doing a very slow cautious lean away from one seagull. Completely calm. Handling it.
Running full sprint down the beach, sandwich held above his head with both arms, mouth open in a silent scream, one seagull on his head, one on each shoulder, chaos implied by his expression
Face down flat in the sand, arms out, sandals half off, completely defeated. The sandwich is gone. He is not okay.
COMPOSURE ████░░░░░░ Gone after eye contact
SANDWICH SECURITY ░░░░░░░░░░ Gone forever
RIGHT SIDE — THE SEAGULL
Large name in bold black. Underneath: "It was never just one."
Hero portrait — one single seagull isolated on clean white. Perched perfectly still. White feathers, yellow beak, small black eyes with absolutely zero emotion in them. Just a seagull on white. Completely ordinary. Completely innocent looking. That is the problem.
Three poses beneath:
Sitting on bench beside Barry's empty spot, head tilted slightly, one black eye looking directly at camera. Still. Patient. Waiting.
Mid-dive, wings fully spread, beak pointed downward, locked onto the sandwich with surgical precision. Pure focused aggression. Beautiful and terrifying.
Back on the bench. Alone. Still. Exactly where it started. Barry gone. Sandwich gone. The seagull has no expression because it never did.
INNOCENCE ██████████ Looks like it
REMORSE ░░░░░░░░░░ It is a seagull. It will do this again tomorrow.
BOTTOM STRIP:
Barry and the seagull in the original standoff, both leaning toward each other — Barry nervous, seagull motionless · Barry's piece of bread flying through the air, seagull watching it land, looking back at Barry, completely uninterested · The sky turning white — forty seagulls appearing from nowhere in diving formation · Barry mid-sprint, sandwich above his head, full seagull chaos, one riding his head · Barry face down in the sand, single seagull back on the bench, staring at him, everything quiet
THE SANDWICH IS GONE. BARRY IS GONE. THE SEAGULL IS STILL THERE.
STYLE NOTES: Pixar 3D vivid rendering. Bright beach setting visible in bottom strip panels only — white sand, clear blue sky, deep blue ocean, golden sunlight. Both hero portraits isolated on clean white. Barry's expressions at full Pixar exaggeration across all three poses. The seagull identical and emotionless in every single frame. Forty seagulls in the aerial assault panel rendered as a dense white screaming cloud descending on Barry. The contrast between Barry's total chaos and the seagull's complete stillness is the entire joke.
