On the left side of the image, Dr. Can Do stands inside a cosy stone cottage interior, facing the viewer with a calm, determined expression and one arm extended downward, pointing at a soft carpet spread across the floor — demonstrating how sheep's wool can be turned into carpet for home improvement. He is a blocky, Minecraft-inspired character with a cube-shaped head, light beige skin, white bushy eyebrows, a thick white moustache, and small dark eyes. He wears a white lab coat over a white dress shirt with a red necktie, dark brown belt, dark navy-blue pants, and dark brown shoes, and holds a small grey hammer in his right hand. The room has stone walls, a wooden ceiling, a wooden support beam with a wall-mounted torch above, and a chest nearby. A window looks out onto green surroundings. The right ~40% of the image is plain parchment-coloured background reserved for text.

Dr. Can Do has a problem. Well, Dr. Can Do has lots of problems. Cold floors! Cold air at every window! Walls that are just... plain. 'Look at this rug,' he says in his snug cottage. He points at the floor. 'I made it from sheep wool. Soft as a cloud. Very cosy.' He taps his hammer. 'Just think if every home had one.'

On the right side of the image, Dr. Can Do stands in the foreground near the wooden fence, facing the viewer at a three-quarter angle with a thoughtful, determined expression as he surveys the flock and considers how to manage the shearing. He is a blocky, Minecraft-inspired character with a cube-shaped head, light beige skin, white bushy eyebrows, a thick white moustache, and small dark eyes. He wears a white lab coat over a white dress shirt with a red necktie, dark brown belt, dark navy-blue pants, and dark brown shoes, and holds a small grey hammer in his right hand. Behind him, several Minecraft-style sheep stand in a fenced grassy pen — one black sheep in the centre wedged between two white sheep — with a brick and wood barn structure visible in the background. The scene is set outdoors in bright daylight on a village farm. The left ~40% is a plain beige text area.

He goes straight to the farm. A flock of sheep stands behind a wooden fence. One black sheep is stuck between two white ones, looking very cross about it. He rolls up his sleeves. 'Right. I will shear the lot.' He grabs his clippers and gets to work. Five minutes later, he has done just one sheep and his arms feel like jelly. Lots more sheep stand waiting. 'There must be a better way,' he puffs. His eyes go wide. 'A machine!'

On the left side of the image, Dr. Can Do stands in the foreground of a warm wooden barn, facing the viewer with a kind, attentive expression as he oversees the sheep in their glass enclosures. He is a blocky, Minecraft-inspired character with a cube-shaped head, light beige skin, white bushy eyebrows, a thick white moustache, and small dark eyes. He wears a white lab coat over a white dress shirt with a red necktie, dark brown belt, dark navy-blue pants, and dark brown shoes, and holds a small grey hammer in his right hand. Behind him, several sheep stand inside individual glass enclosures within the barn, lit by warm glowing lanterns between the pens. The sheep face forward with calm expressions, each contained in its own transparent cage. A gentle shearing machine is visible near the enclosures. Large piles of colourful wool are stacked nearby. The scene is set indoors in a rustic wooden shelter with green grass visible at the base, under a daytime sky peeking above the roofline. The right side is plain background reserved for text.

So he builds one. Of course he does. The sheep stand in glass pens inside a cosy barn, with lanterns between each one to keep them at ease. A trusty machine hums along, gathering wool while the sheep just stand there looking bored, which is a sheep's best thing to do. He swaps them in and out. Soon he has big piles of wool, red and white and brown and black. 'Done!' he says. Then he stops. 'Wait... not done yet.'

On the right side of the image, Jill and Dr. Can Do stand together on a grassy village path near a wooden shed, facing the viewer with friendly expressions. Jill is a blocky, Minecraft-style female character with a square head, shoulder-length auburn/copper-orange hair with a side-swept fringe, large round dark eyes, light fair skin, and a small open-mouthed smile. She wears a bright orange sleeveless top with a brown belt at the waist, dark brown pants, and brown boots, and holds a grey-and-brown pickaxe in her right hand. Beside her, Dr. Can Do is a blocky, Minecraft-inspired character with a cube-shaped head, light beige skin, white bushy eyebrows, a thick white moustache, and small dark eyes with an enthusiastic expression. He wears a white lab coat over a white dress shirt with a red necktie, dark brown belt, dark navy-blue pants, and dark brown shoes, and holds a small grey hammer in his right hand. The scene is set outdoors on a bright, sunny day with green lawns, shrubs, and trees visible in the background. The left side of the image is a plain beige area reserved for text overlay.

'That is too much work for one man,' says Jill, catching up on the village path. 'I can do it,' says Dr. Can Do. Jill shakes her head. 'Three days with no sleep! Sleepy men do sloppy work. Hire a man. A shepherd. Build a proper Wool Shop and let him run it.' He grins. 'A shop! A big shop! That is a very grand plan!'

Dr. Can Do stands on the left side of the image on a flat dirt area, facing the viewer at a three-quarter angle with a determined expression as he surveys the ground where he will build the Wool Shop. He is a blocky, Minecraft-inspired character with a cube-shaped head, light beige skin, white bushy eyebrows, a thick white moustache, and small dark eyes. He wears a white lab coat over a white dress shirt with a red necktie, dark brown belt, dark navy-blue pants, and dark brown shoes, and holds a small grey hammer in his right hand. The scene is set outdoors at sunrise, with the sun low on the horizon casting a warm golden-orange glow across a village landscape in the background. The right ~40% of the image is a plain beige text overlay area.

The sun is not even up, and he is hammering. Bang. Bang. Bang-bang-bang. He paces across the dirt, planning and muttering. 'Walls go up. Roof on top. Racks, racks, more racks.' By sunrise, he has a sturdy frame up. By lunch, he has the walls. By dinner, he has the roof, the door, and a sign that says Wool Shop in big bold letters. 'Done!' he says. Then he stops. 'Well. Not quite done yet.'

Page 6
On the right side of the image, the interior of the newly finished Wool Shop is shown with warm lantern light glowing from hanging lanterns. Shepherd stands at the centre by a wooden loom, facing the viewer with a warm smile. He is a blocky, Minecraft-style character with a stocky, square-proportioned body, peach/tan skin, and dark brown hair visible beneath a brown flat cap. He has small black rectangular eyes, a small nose, dark brown eyebrows, and slight stubble on his chin. He wears a brown tunic over a white collared shirt, brown pants, and dark brown shoes, and holds a tall wooden shepherd's crook in his left hand while extending his right hand toward Jill, offering her a gorgeous green gem. Jill stands nearby, facing the viewer at a three-quarter angle with a small open-mouthed smile, holding a bundle of wool. She is a blocky, Minecraft-style female character with shoulder-length auburn/copper-orange hair with a side-swept fringe, large round dark eyes, light fair skin. She wears a bright orange sleeveless top with a brown belt, dark brown pants, and brown boots, with her grey-and-brown pickaxe resting at her side. A large pile of bright red wool sits on the floor beside the loom. Dr. Can Do stands in the background near the doorway, observing the scene with a satisfied expression. He wears a white lab coat over a white dress shirt with a red necktie, dark brown belt, dark navy-blue pants, and dark brown shoes, and holds a small grey hammer in his right hand. The room has wooden plank floors and walls with a brick accent wall. The left side is a plain beige text area.

A man peeks inside the shop. He sees the loom, the lanterns, and the huge pile of bright red wool. His eyes go wide. 'Can I have this job?' he asks. 'Hired!' says Dr. Can Do, before the man can even finish asking. The new shepherd gets to work. When Jill brings him a bundle of wool, he smiles and presses a shiny green gem into her hand. 'Pay,' he says with a wink. From the doorway, Dr. Can Do has a grin so big his lip hair goes all wavy.

Page 7
On the left side of the image, Dr. Can Do stands in the lower-left foreground, facing toward the right at a three-quarter angle with a calm, observant expression as he watches the shepherd at work. He is a blocky, Minecraft-inspired character with a cube-shaped head, light beige skin, white bushy eyebrows, a thick white moustache, and small dark eyes. He wears a white lab coat over a white dress shirt with a red necktie, dark brown belt, dark navy-blue pants, and dark brown shoes, and holds a small grey hammer in his right hand. Behind him is the wooden Wool Shop building with warm lantern lighting, where Shepherd can be seen inside tending to sheep penned behind fences, gathering bundles of wool and adding them to a growing pile. Shepherd is a blocky, Minecraft-style character with a brown flat cap, brown tunic over a white collared shirt, and holds a tall wooden shepherd's crook. Several sheep are visible in the background enclosure. The right ~40% of the image is a plain parchment-style background reserved for text overlay.

He leans on the Wool Shop wall and watches the shepherd inside. The stocky shepherd gathers wool from the sheep in their big pen, stacking bundle after bundle on a growing pile. It is working. It is really, truly working. The shepherd has it all in hand. For the first time in weeks, Dr. Can Do has nothing to fix. Nothing to build. Nothing to make better. He stands still for about four seconds. Then his fingers start tapping on his hammer.

On the right side of the image, Dr. Can Do stands indoors in a cosy village cottage with a wooden ceiling, gazing out through a window on the far right with a satisfied smile, as if imagining his next big project. He is a blocky, Minecraft-inspired character with a cube-shaped head, light beige skin, white bushy eyebrows, a thick white moustache, and small dark eyes. He wears a white lab coat over a white dress shirt with a red necktie, dark brown belt, dark navy-blue pants, and dark brown shoes, and holds a small grey hammer in his right hand. The room features gorgeous colourful paintings hanging on the walls and a soft carpet covering the floor, reflecting the village improvements made with wool. A wooden chest sits nearby. Through the window, Jill is partially visible outside on the village path, her shoulder-length auburn/copper-orange hair and bright orange sleeveless top recognisable as she calls out toward the cottage. The scene is set indoors during daytime with the village visible outside. The left side is a plain beige text area.

Back in his cottage, he looks around. Bright paintings on the walls. A soft, silky rug on the floor. Every home in the village, snug and cosy. He should be happy. He should sit and rest. But no. He looks out the window with that look. The look that means a new project. 'I have stacks of wool left,' he says. 'Enough to build a giant windmill! Think of the power! Think of the...' From outside, Jill calls in. 'Take a holiday, Dr. Can Do!' He grins. 'Not done yet!'
