How to Generate Comic Strips with Copilot
Generate comic strips with Copilot and ToolRouter. Create educational comic strips ready for course materials and documentation.
Tool
Copilot is best when comic strips are educational tools — explaining a concept, illustrating a process, or making a documentation step memorable — and need to be embedded directly in course materials or onboarding guides.

Steps
Once connected (see setup above), use the Cartoon Maker tool:
- Describe the concept to explain, the target audience, and the number of panels needed.
- Generate the comic strip with comic_strip and embed it in the document section it illustrates.
- Confirm the comic is clear to someone with no prior knowledge of the subject.
- Add a brief text explanation below the comic for accessibility.
Example Prompt
Try this with Copilot using the Cartoon Maker tool
Use cartoon-maker to create a 4-panel comic strip explaining the concept of two-factor authentication for our security onboarding guide. Simple characters, clear actions, non-technical language. Embed it in the guide with an alt text description.
Tips
- Explain the concept in the simplest terms in the strip — educational comics should be clear to a reader with zero background.
- Ask Copilot to confirm the concept is technically accurate before the strip goes into official documentation.
- Keep art style clean and minimal for educational contexts — visual complexity distracts from the concept being taught.
