Love how there's even "smoke" in the comic even though I didn't think of requesting it.

Dang, I realized that "chicken" is overloaded as mnemonic symbol. There's rubber chicken for 从 and Chantal Chicken for chu-. I need to make sure to make both distinct in future comics.

First trial of Amazon Nova and I'm impressed by how fast the image was generated! I also like the style.

Yes, the mnemonic is ChatGPT (version 5) - it's weird and at first I didn't want to use it, but the weird elements in this story somehow make it a lot more memorable. At least for me.
Prompt: create a short and funny story with three to five sentences containing the following elements:
- Xi Shi
- A gland
- A hot water spring
- A bathroom in an anthill
- The moon

腺
=
月
+
泉
:
On a moonlit (月) night, Xi Shi (xi) booked a spa day at a hot water spring (泉) that turned out to be the bathroom in an anthill (an4). The ants were polite but insisted on a tiny towel and a strict “no cannonballs” policy. When the steam hit her, a gland (腺) in her elbow chimed in like a wellness coach, declaring this “peak exfoliation.” The moon (月), acting like a nosy neighbor, asked for a review, and Xi Shi (xi) gave it four stars—minus one for the long line of ants judging her bath-time poetry.

木
:
Mnemonic symbol from 手术: surgeon.
In the space station's bathroom (Ø4) the surgeon (术) wants to tickle Sheldon Shrimp (shu) with a petal (丶), but Sheldon thinks it's a trap and he wants to cut him open, so he hides behind a Christmas tree (木).
