What about the roger rabbit image on the first page(last post)? Same as well?

Also not a clear example of the trope. That's more Interspecies Romance.

... bumping this because the thread seemed to have falled behind.

Anyway I'm tentatively guessing INUH was referring to the former, but for what it's worth I think its benefit to each is that it shows a girl in some blue action suit (it's called the "zero suit" but I'm not sure what the name is of the KIND of suit it is) kissing a guy with angel wings. That's easily Pink Boy, Blue Girl, (the latter half almost literally!) but I would have thought showing that level of contrast would be fitting to the Opposites Attract as well. If not, how DO you demonstrate it exactly?

We have an entire page of examples, so clearly a screenshot of at least one of them should be decent enough.

Showing the trope is far more important than simply being an example.

[up] Not crazy about any of those, but if we could get a pic of a dog and a cat sleeping or playing together, that might work.

I don't like the dog and cat images. They aren't really opposites.

[up] Considering the old stereotype of dogs and cats being mortal enemies, I'd say either of those would work fine.

I did suggest dogs and cats earlier, did that picture work to anybody's liking?

Enemies isn't the same as opposites. Cats and dogs are Star-Crossed Lovers, and Interspecies Romance. Not this trope.

I think it's simple enough that a cats-dogs thing wouldn't confuse anyone. We don't need to look too deep into this.

Besides....people usually DO refer to cats and dogs as opposites.

Like its already been said, no need to get TOO deep about something like cats and dogs. I personally think it's being overthinked about.

I fail to see why getting into Interspecies Romance is necessary here, especially if my Samus X Pit example from earlier on is not good enough.

What about Criminy (meek, nerdy bookworm) and Fuschia (hot succubus) from Sinfest?

[down] Added the first best color strip that had the two of them together that I could find.

Someone suggested a punk and a girl next door earlier. I like that one best.

Well, so far.

The image is a hotlinked one....not showing....

And not quite a fan of the punk and girl next door.

I dunno. I see the extreme with the punk, but I don't see too much "Opposite" from the girl. (maybe I'm picky and dumb >.<) But I get the feeling she should be....girlier looking. Please smack me if I'm wrong in this thought process.
