Need a Caption

[AnyaKimlin]

Angus has just crushed Evelyn and she is on the run. She's been exposed as a wanton murderess.

Normally I'd spend months coming up with a caption, but I only have three days before the deadline for Harper Voyager. Any help to shake loose the crusty coconuts in my brain.

''I take the paper and look at the cartoon. It’s by Archie Drawembad, the same cartoonist that drew the one of me beating up my father. This one is of me and Evelyn. She’s dressed in ripped, fishnet tights and a rather tight, revealing number. She’s lying on the ground with a large, blond, character dressed as a nurse sitting on top of her. ‘Princess Evelyn exposed under King Angus the Great Weight.’'

Well, you can change Evelyn to Evilyn (or even Evil Lyn).

Off the top of my head, you could have: Exposed Evilyn Anchored by King-sized Angus's Arse.

(The 's Arse is optional)

 

[AnyaKimlin]

Arse is fine I've used it a few times in the book.

Would I get into trouble with Evil Lyn (who i confess was the inspiration for the name) - she's kind of an iconic earth character to those of us of a certain age ?

Hmm could make her Evil Evie squished by Big Angus. Ugh I'm stuck, if it wasn't such an important scene I would reconsider it...

 

[Kylara]

Evie Exposed under Angus's Arse

or

Exposed Evie under Architectural Angus

or

Evie Exposed under/beneath Royal Arse/weight

or something...give me a while, and we'll be good...

 

[Ursa major]

How long has Angus been King? If not long, try: Evil Under the Son

 

[AnyaKimlin]

ooh liking Evie exposed.

He's been king about six months by this point.

Angus the Great's healing touch?

 

[Grinnel]

Angus gets the drop on murderess.

Why is he dressed like a nurse?? Is he fat, thus Great Weight?

Big Angus solves murder-but who will deal with health care issues?
(ie. while the king is being a sleuth who is running the country?

 

[AnyaKimlin]

I have no idea why he is dressed a nurse (his wife is one) lol I think when I did it I had in mind that he had healed the nation.

He's not fat but he's a very big boy. Six-feet-eleven and solidly built.

It was more than just one murder it was a huge political situation. She killed their parents amongst others.

Too late to think right now.

Er, do you mean a caption or a logline/one sentence pitch or what?

If a logline /pitch- you're giving me not a lot here. Someone (the lady of the two names you mentioned) is exposed and chased? Did she murder an abusive husband? Murder her dog? Some random person? Her best friend? Who is Angus? Why is he chasing her? Why did he crush her


Person runs from other person could apply to soooo very many things. You need to be precise, specific usually, or capture the tone if not (hard ain't it?). Capture the essence while telling me what it's about. At the moment I have two names. One of the names murdered someone. The other one crushed her. That's it.

If it's a caption, well, I need a picture.

 

[AnyaKimlin]

I need a caption and what you have is the picture as it is for my novel The picture is in words.

There is a rather elegant lady dressed like a cheap tramp who is being sat on by a very large, blond guy who has dread-locks and an eye-patch. He's dressed as a nurse. It appears near the end of the novel when the media has changed its opinion on the two characters.. At the start he was the Royal Oaf and she was the Perfect Princess. (A bit Horrid Henry I know).

This is the short synopsis for the story:


A night of royal disasters thrust the unprepared, pampered Prince Angus onto the throne. As the youngest of three children he had never expected to inherit and quite frankly he’d rather hang out with his mates and start a brawl. He’s never left the Royal Quarter, never shown any interest in affairs of state, the press and public hate him, and his sister wants him dead.
*
His sister, Princess Evelyn, has only ever wanted one thing: to be queen. She will stop at nothing to get the crown on her head, and that includes matricide, patricide and attempted fratricide. Unlike Angus she has the people’s hearts and the media adore her. With a mix of sex and blackmail she has assured support from the country’s military leaders. She has hated Angus since he was in the womb and now he has taken her throne.
*
Angus joins forces with the senile Abbot who shows him how to wield ancient magic and together they battle to turn the tide on Evelyn. They destroy her power base and she flees – spitting blood, feathers and revenge.
*
The skills the Abbot teaches Angus combined with the intelligence he inherited from his father give him the courage to make decisions that show his potential as an exceptional monarch. A coronation allows the people of his country to show their appreciation for what he has achieved. Evelyn orders an assassination attempt, but it is foiled quickly and Angus lives to continue his majestic work.

Angus' big arse plugs the country's wounds ?

 

[prizzley]

Angus' big arse plugs the country's wounds ?

Or:

Nurse Angus plugs Evelyn's wounds

short, snappy and inoffensive.

But do you actually need a caption, if the cartoon is clear enough?

 

[AnyaKimlin]

I think because the first cartoon did need one - this one does. I'm thinking about it - still thinking lol

 

[Kissmequick]

Oh, right.

I should learn not to post late at night....

You could go all The Sun on it - lots of alliteration.

Angry Angus Averts Assassination

Kick-arse King Kiboshes Killer.

Majestic Monarch Mullers Murderer

 

[AnyaKimlin]

that sounds great Avenging Angus Purges Perfect Princess.

 

[Mark R]

"Kingship over Kinship"

 

[Venusian Broon]

How revealing is Evelyn's dress?

A bit of frontage slippage?

Then how about the simple: Angus busts Evie

 

[AnyaKimlin]

ooh VB I love it.

Our Angus busts Evil Evie is perfect It won't take much to give her a bigger chest lol And I may change him into the falcon and have him pull her dress off.

Thank you everyone else for you help I knew you'd help me get there.
