Fogbound Hippo in Comic Book Fog

An enormous hippo lumbering through a dense fog, drawn in bold comic-book style. Thick black ink outlines, high-contrast lighting, and halftone dot shading for texture. Low-angle perspective as the creature strides out of the mist, its rugged form shown with exaggerated, dynamic lines. A swampy background fades into the fog: skeletal trees, tall reeds, and rippling water barely visible through the haze. Palette of desaturated blues, greens, and grays with a warm amber glow slicing through the fog from a distant moon or lantern. The hippo wears a determined, heroic expression, ready for action, with cross-hatching for depth and subtle rain streaks. Include a stylized sound-effect in a corner and a subtle speech bubble to enhance the comic-book vibe.
