(EDIT - just realized that I didn't enter a reason - it's supposed to be "suggestion", not "needs help")

Gracie Lizzy made a suggestion on the main thread, namely...

I'd like to propose this one from xkcd:

I'm more keen to 1.1. There's more motion to it, and it isn't just a Wall of Text.

Also the reason I went with 1.1 is because I felt calling out a Big Brother Bully was really satisfying to read even without context (because the example gives just enough context to figure out it's a relative he's calling out), I feel 1.2 is weaker as she's just calling out some dude. Don't get me wrong he deserves it when you read the full strip and realise he's a pick up artist who was trying to neg her but it hits less for me without that context.

Very well, although I think that the panels in the third row can be removed, since they don't seem to add anything.

1.1 [tup]...I can take or leave the third row's panels.

1.1 without the third panel [tup]

Here it is with the third panel removed and also cleaned up some little bits of white background that were still hanging around.

It's from Heartstopper incidentally.

XKCD is boring and just a giant wall of text. 1.1 shows more motion and is split up more evenly.

It's been 5 days since there was thread activity, and it seems that everyone is unanimously in favor of Image 9. Can the discussion be considered done and the thread morgued?

[up] We'll still need to discuss the caption

Not sure if it needs a caption but perhaps:

"A Big Little Brother finally stands up to his Big Brother Bully"

Maybe?

I don't really think it needs a caption personally

Whilst I'm here though I noticed a bit of speech bubble stalk between the two last bubbles was accidentally made transparent so I've added it back in:

We're now at a week, I think the Heartstopper suggestion's been sufficiently workshopped so 18 is in and tagged. Caption?

My suggestion was:

"A Big Little Brother finally stands up to his Big Brother Bully"

But I'll admit it's kinda weak

Yeah I think captionless is fine too
