A four-panel comic strip shows a man struggling in a cramped kitchen with a tiny counter space between the sink and stove, then dreaming of a spacious kitchen.

Comic strip style, 4 panels. Art style: Clean lines, expressive characters. Panel 1: Wide shot of a cramped kitchen corner.

The counter is otherwise empty to highlight the lack of space, not clutter. Visual emphasis on the tight squeeze between the sink basin and the bulky cast iron stove top. Panel 2: Close-up action shot. The person tries to place a hot pot on the counter next to the stove, but there is no room. Their hand accidentally bumps the sink faucet or knocks a dish into the water because the gap is too small. Show the physical impossibility of having a workspace between the two appliances. The stove clearly shows heavy black cast iron rings, not glass or gas grates. Panel 3: The person leans against the counter, looking exhausted and defeated. They stare at the tiny 10cm strip of counter between the sink and the classic stove. Thought bubble shows a chaotic mess of wet dishes and burning pans because there is no buffer zone. Text bubble (internal monologue): "How do I cook when the sink and this old stove are fighting for the same spot?" Panel 4: The person closes their eyes and waves a hand magically over the stove.
