4-koma is a common comic strip style often found in Japan with four panels stacked vertically. Fred has experimented with the style and provides a large left-hand side drawing, too. He first used the format in Chapter 4, all with titles that start Meanwhile (or Aida Ni... in Japanese).

Later in Chapter 9, Fred used it again in his scripts supplied to Hawk (Mohammad Haque of AppleGeeks) for a series of Guest Artist strips. These also had the Aida Ni... prominent on the left-hand side, but instead of Meanwhile a GST was used in their titles. While the right-hand side was drawn by Hawk, it followed script written by Fred as in considered canon, but the left-hand side was freed to Hawk's imagination.
