The Orchard Scholar: A Comic Book Scene

American comic-book style illustration of a scholarly figure in an apple orchard at golden hour. A bespectacled scholar wearing a tweed waistcoat, rolled-up sleeves, and a scarf stands among sunlit trees, holding an ancient open manuscript. Bold black ink outlines, high-contrast colors, and halftone shading give a classic comic feel. Dynamic low-angle perspective with wind ruffling the leaves and motion lines behind the scholar as pages flutter. Lush emerald leaves, ripening red apples, and glowing sunlight frame the scene; a wooden ladder leans against a tree, a chalk-dusted map and a compass lie at the scholar's feet. The mood is curious and adventurous, suggesting a forgotten knowledge uncovered among fruit and foliage. Include a speech bubble: 'Knowledge bears fruit.'
