Who is that? Why should I care? How does it demonstrate the trope?

Motion to pull. Reason: completely undemonstrative.

I suppose the idea is that she's patting her flat chest and looking proud while doing so.

Not that I'm attached to the image, mind you, but I can at least see the relation.

Don't take life too seriously. It's only a temporary situation.

Yeah, but I've seen that pose on people who were just looking proud in general.

I'm not down with a pull right now, but I wouldn't mind to see some other options.

Not a fan. The patting oneself on the chest is a gesture I normally associate with arrogance, so she just looks arrogant to me.

I say find a better one, but leave this one up until we do. I've never seen the series, and I think it makes sense with the caption. I'm also sure there's a better one out there.

I would say not to pull immediately, but keep looking for a better one.

She's flat and she looks proud of that fact.

Yes it could be interpreted a different way, but given the context I don't think it will be misinterpreted.

Is there a better option?

If not, I say we leave it.

Does anyone know which episode/volume Konata says that line in?

One of the early ones I think.

[up][up][up] Well she also looks like an 10-year-old, 90% of whom are flat-chested. It's too esoteric and not illustrative in any way.*

[up]She's older than she looks because of genetics.tongue

But on a more serious note, it's not so awful as to warrent leaving the page imageless.

[up] You are missing the point. All the girls in Lucky Star are older than they look because the animators drew them as lolis. The image only makes sense to people who watch the show, and they're a minority. Think of the normal people!

Calm down, I was making a joke(hence the smiley). My opinion that it's good enough pro tempore was separate, though considering there are ten-year-old examples on A-Cup Angst(and no, I'm not thinking of Eiken), your objection isn't as strong as you think.

[up]Don't patronize me, the point is it's obscure and the caption does all the work. Textbook Just A Face And A Caption.

I haven't seen a single episode, and it makes perfect sense to me. Either find a better one (I'm sure there are many) or this thread has no purpose. And either way, stop yelling.

If you want, I can get a screenshot of the actual source anime that Konata is referencing...

Let's have some calm in here, please. Tweedle Dee, please do not abuse capslock in that way. It's very rude and has absolutely no place in a civil discussion. Further such abuses here will result in post thumpings, regardless of post content.

[up][up][up] They're oversized and too wordy. Bonus JAFAAC points for coming from equally obscure sources as the last image. Even if they were resized the text would be too small to be legible and the caption would have to do all the work, which is the same problem the Lucky Star image has.

Obscure does not equal JAFAAC...

Anyway. probably far too long but funny anyway

Obscurity does not matter at all. We've posted pictures from works we don't even have pages for before. Not to mention that those are hardly obscure.

That being said, I agree they wouldn't look good shrunk. But maybe one of the earlier panels, when Pao II was still in her armor, and thinking about how wonderful Nodoka's small chest was?
