Poll: Regarding POV comics
🕑 Added 2021-11-30 07:49:30 +0000 UTCI'm in a bit of a conundrum in how I want to handle a couple of my comics.
As you might know already, all the "Suki's Stories" comics (And Leiko's Life, if I get around to making another) are purely POV experiences where the POV character interacts with Suki/Leiko in some way.
In "Science of Suki" we hear the dialogue of the POV character "Miss C"
In "Suki's Sleepover" we don't hear the thoughts or words of the POV character "Leiko's Boyfriend"
Here are examples of what each looks like:
POV w/ dialogue
POV w/o dialogue:
My question comes from some of the comics where I honestly could go either way. Suki's Swimsuit takes place at night when Suki ends up staying late at a pool party because she's too embarrassed to get out of the pool with a hard-on. The POV character is the host of that party who's come out to check on her.
While that character is intended to be someone who will be introduced later, the general sense of the story isn't lost if no dialogue from the POV character is included.
Since I could go either way, I ask you all what you would prefer to see in a POV story.
For a side by side example, I'm going to provide some "prototype" panels with very basic context, for how a certain scene in "Suki's Swimsuit" would go.
The first image a 2-panel with only Suki's speech, and the second two images the same scene with some dialogue from the POV character.
POV SILENT
POV DIALOGUE
