The Doug Rule

Modern 2D cartoon: clean expressive outlines, flat bright colors, simple rounded shapes, dynamic poses, smooth contemporary animation look.

In Doug's minimalist corporate office, featuring a single framed spreadsheet on a spotless desk. Ben (Male, mid 20s, East Asian, slim build, energetic but slightly tense posture, clean-shaven, short spiky black hair, wide expressive brown eyes, wearing a light blue button-down shirt, khaki chinos, and a bright blue company lanyard) rushes in energetically, clutching his open sleek silver laptop. Doug (Male, mid 50s, Caucasian, average build, slightly imposing posture, square jaw, salt-and-pepper hair cut short and neat, wearing a crisp white button-down dress shirt with sleeves rolled up to the elbows, dark grey necktie, dark slacks, no jacket, deadpan expression, exuding tired corporate permanence) sits at the desk. Nobody is speaking, silent action.
