I’ve often wondered what goes through the mind of an angler, when they hug their catch for the camera. I guess now we know.

This is how it is:

I tried “Doin’ it!” which was an improvement, but seemed somehow too mannered. There is a simple, unaffected optimism in the lower case d and the fully written “doing”. Also, I’ve shifted the text over to the left which seems to fit better with Baxter’s mouth, and with the flow of the idea.

This stuff is important.

(Thank you Sean for your useful thoughts).

Here is a Baxter question. Which cartoon is “better”.

Version a) no text:

baxter_leap.bmp

Version b) with added “Woooah!”

I think I’m going to have to live with both for a time until I can decide.

Supplementary question: is “Woooah!” the right yell? Or should it be “Doin’ it!” or “For sure!” or simply “Yeah!”? I’m currently most comfortable with “Woooah!” although I toyed for a while with “Totally!”
