Poster: A hand-drawn crossword puzzle populated by animated people

Use a warm cream paper background with dense black crossword lines and chunky filled squares. Render diverse characters in a vintage comic-book illustration style with flat mustard, orange, green, blue, and red accents. Add rough ink hatching, imperfect outlines, and visible paper grain for a printed editorial finish. Keep the composition energetic and diagonally oriented, with the pencil and coffee cup creating a lived-in tabletop scene.
