It's a picture of Yoda. While he is a well-known example of the trope, the picture does not illustrate it. Perhaps an image containing dialogue would be better.

Motion to pull

Yoda's a good example but the pic doesn't demonstrate the trope.

Suggested replacement: an image of Yoda from Darths And Droids that includes a speech balloon that demonstrates his weird speech.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

[up] My GIS for comic book images of Yoda speaking turned up diddlysquat so that may be the best route to take.

[up] That works really well, we just need to decide what to use.

Panels 3, 4, and 5 or just panels 3 and 5? I want to retain the punchline. Caption could be like, "HA HA SHORT JOKE."

3 and 5 would work well enough.

It's too bad we can't use a meme for a picture. I saw one the other day that shows Yoda, and it says: "In Soviet Russia, I speak perfectly normal!"

Anyways, I like the comic, but I think panel four is needed to get to the punchline better.

That looks about like what I wanted. Too bad that the panels aren't all the same size.

[up] We could cut the last panel, but I like that as the punchline.

Yeah, I agree that it needs the punchline.
