A Night The McCree Brothers Will Never Remember!

And perhaps the morning that the McCree Sisters will never forget!


One of the things I don't really like to do is make the recipient of a caption an asshole unless they specifically say they don't mind. However, in this scenario, I wrote it so that Amanda could imagine that she was whichever brother she wanted. The younger one seems to show a bit of remorse, and perhaps just went along with the big brother because .. well, that is what big brothers do sometimes. They aren't always a good influence on their siblings, and the younger ones could be just along for the ride, getting attention in any way they can.

I also tried something a bit different in design, where I set up the text around the picture, instead of just to the left or right. I didn't want to make it any smaller, and there wasn't much height to it either, so I thought I would go with something different. Luckily I think it worked out REALLY well.

It also helped that as I was composing the design, I thought it'd be best to set up the scenario with narration .. once again, something I don't often do; it's either all conversation, or mostly story exposition with perhaps a few lines of dialog. And then, I would end it right where the picture was taking place with dialog to close out the entire caption. I had it marked up in my head, and I think it was the right choice.

So, what thinks you, the readers? How'd I do with something a bit different in design? Did everything work for you, or did something fall short? Which brother would you have been? If there was another panel to this caption, what would happen next?
