Japanese Comedy Manga Style Illustration

Scene: transform this image into a Japanese gag manga style illustration. Use a high-contrast black-and-white color palette including assertive linework and screentone (halftone) shading. Include dynamic action lines or radiating background effects. Characters should have exaggerated facial expressions, cartoonish proportions (big head, small body), and comedic intensity. The overall aesthetic should mimic retro manga from the 80s and 90s with humorous and intense emotion. Iteration: clone the same subject in a flat illustration style for thumbnails.
