Executive Summary – In Short

Concept: An episodic video, animated news satire series where rotating anchors on “Cox Views Network” deliver “Final Reports” – darkly comedic obituaries for dying institutions, species, rights, and resources, always with the twisted consolation of “but that’s okay, we’ve gained world power and control over [whatever it supported].”

Format: Each 5-10 minute episode presents a mock news broadcast featuring individual slides and storyboards that systematically document the “final” moments of something critical – The Final Coral Reef, The Final Public School, The Final Living Wage, etc. Episodes follow a consistent structure: announce the death, explain what we’ve “gained” from its destruction, and deliver the punchline with devastating wit.

Artistic Vision: Pablo Pencil’s signature art style creates visually striking, purpose-built anchor characters for each episode. Every broadcaster embodies their specific story while the storyboard format allows for dynamic visual storytelling that enhances the satirical impact with supportive story board visuals that drive each episode’s news-cast style narrative.

Thematic Core: The series title captures our current moment – everything is ending, but corporate/authoritarian power frames each loss as progress. This “Final Report” structure provides endless material while maintaining a consistent dark humor framework.

Target Audience: Politically aware adults seeking intelligent commentary on current events, fans of shows like “Last Week Tonight,” “The Daily Show,” and animated satire like “BoJack Horseman.”

Distribution Strategy: Web-first release via thefinal.report, with episodes optimized for social media sharing through compelling storyboard visuals and quotable anchor moments.

Mission: Use animation and satirical news format to expose how power structures celebrate destruction as advancement, making unbearable truths both digestible and memorable through Pablo Pencil’s distinctive artistic lens.
