Another option...
@designthinkingcomic This one works well too!

@designthinkingcomic If you can do it, have all the text within the light beam and don't spill it over the edges into the dark. Or vice versa (though this wouldn't work as well), all the text in the dark areas to left and right but none in the light.

This works well. You already have the same grey in the character shading so it fits. -

@designthinkingcomic sorry, but head office wants to see it in red, and run 26 sponsor logos across the bottom. And change the guy to a Shrek lookalike that won't get a copyright strike. Other than that all good
