### Panel 1 1. Van, looking disheveled in outdated 2000s baggy jeans and a faded band tee, stares wide-eyed at a futuristic coffee menu board listing oat, almond, and soy milks. He points confidently at the barista. 2. In a dynamic comic book style with thick black ink outlines, vibrant colors, and exaggerated expressions like classic Marvel comics; a 17-year-old boy named Van with messy 2000s skater hair, baggy jeans, and a confused open-mouthed grin stands at a trendy 2026 coffee shop counter; behind the counter, a hipster barista with a man bun, tattoos, thick-rimmed glasses, and a flannel shirt smirks knowingly; glowing menu board overhead screams "OAT MILK LATTE - SUSTAINABLE VIBES"; Van points excitedly like he's ordering pizza; speech bubble from Van: "Yo, just a coffee with milk!"; background with neon plants and avocado toast signs for modern coffee culture humor.
### Panel 2 1. Barista leans in enthusiastically, holding up an oat milk carton like a trophy, while Van tilts his head in growing bewilderment, scratching his head.
2. Comic book panel in bold, exaggerated style with dynamic angles and sweat drops for confusion; hipster barista with excited wide eyes and sparkling teeth thrusts forward a carton of creamy oat milk labeled "OATLY - PLANT POWER"; Van's face shifts to puzzled squint with one eyebrow arched high and a question mark floating above his head; close-up on the carton showing oats floating in milky liquid; Van's speech bubble: "Milk? Like... cow milk?"; barista's bubble: "Nah dude, oat milk! Creamy, sustainable, no cows harmed!"; coffee shop details like macrame wall hangings and Gen Z customers sipping from reusable cups.
### Panel 3 1. Barista gestures wildly, explaining oat milk's benefits with floating icons of oats, cows with sad faces crossed out, and eco-leaves; Van's eyes bulge in horror, hands clutching his head as realization dawns that "normal milk" is gone.
2. Exaggerated comic book humor style with motion lines, onomatopoeia bursts like "WHOOSH!", and massive sweat beads; barista in manic preacher pose with arms flailing, surrounded by cartoon icons: golden oats raining down, a crying cow with X eyes, green leaf emojis exploding; Van recoils with jaw dropped to the floor, veins popping on forehead, horrified scream expression; speech bubbles overlap chaotically - barista: "It's oats blended with water! Dairy-free, gut-friendly, vibes with the planet!"; Van: "OATS? Like... HORSE FOOD? That's not milk!"; background patrons nodding approvingly, one with a "Save the Cows" pin.
### Panel 4 1. Van slams the counter in desperation, yelling for "real milk," while barista shrugs nonchalantly, pouring oat milk foam art of a sad cow; punchline: Van realizes he's doomed in 2026 coffee hell.
2. Climactic comic book panel with dramatic shading, explosion effects, and ultra-exaggerated faces for maximum hilarity; Van in full freakout mode, fists pounding counter, face beet-red with rage lines and tears streaming, 2000s slang bubble: "GIMME COW JUICE OR I'M OUTTA HERE!"; chill barista smirks while artfully pouring oat milk into a latte forming a perfect sad-face cow in the foam; final bubble from barista: "Trust me, you'll love it... or try almond?"; wide shot showing Van trapped in a sea of hipster customers with matcha bowls and airpods; title footer: "2000 vs 2026: Milkpocalypse".
