The punch part is present, but there is nothing indicating that the guy on the right was talking. The image in itself is pretty good though, so I suggest we move it to Pre-Mortem One-Liner.

This implies, quite correctly, that my mind is dark and damp and full of tiny translucent fish.

[up] I don't think that would work well with the panel on the page since they're not uniform widths.

If people learned from their mistakes, there wouldn't be this thing called bad habits.

I think a vertical arrangement would make the text more readable. Also, Qwertz, I'm impressed. Did you scan it or find it?

[up][up][up] I stand corrected...try a vertical arrangement, that might work better for getting more detail in the panels.

I don't know how to make it vertical without making it look worse on the page.

How's this? I figured the fist going through the other guy's head and the speech balloon were the most important parts of the second panel, so most of Dredd's body is gone.

Ehh, do we have a pic of a victim who's actually speaking when he gets owned? That doesn't look like an interruption.

Share it so that people can get into this conversation, 'cause we're not the only ones who think like this.

[up] Not bad...I guess it depends on if you want to see Dredd's fist going through his head or not.

I prefer Catalogue's. Cropping Dredd's head messes up the composition too much.

[up] I like Catalogue's version better because the text in the first panel isn't so obviously squished.

I agree, though is there anyway to make it vertically aligned?

We can enlarge the speech bubbles.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

I like the vertical one more because it's bigger, but the last horizontal one should also be fine.

The left bubble looks weird.

No I meant like how the red part doesn't go around the entire bubble.

It's abruptly cut off on the right side.
