Which of these is an example of a good microstyle headline A Flying moose lands on car's roof B Come to our store C Houston We Have An Omelette D Wiggle yer toes in Wiggler Shoes?

Answer 1

Sources for A and C: 1,000 Headlines in 460 Days by Larry Larsen

Book Review of Microstyle, the new book about “the art of writing little†by Christopher Johnson.

The correct example, from the Larsen article, is (A) Flying moose lands on car's roof. It's catchy, descriptive, and entices a reader to look further. The rest do not.
