Too big, too much text, not focusing on the trope: Inexplicable Treasure Chests

The comic is telling us about treasure chests, but only in the last two rows. I think a simple sceenshot of a game having treasure chests at random places could work better.

I feel like this could be made into a good page image.

A composite picture showing 4-6 instances of chests in video games also would work.

I really like the comic in post 2. We could probably get away with cutting the last panel and arranging it into a 2x2 block.

Motion to pull

Even if we don't find a new pic for this page, the current one's badly artifacted and all but illegible.

Here's my first shot, sorry about the artifacting:

[up] That looks decent, it's much more legible than I was afraid it would be.

That comic is unclear unless you know Link will go inside the fish. As such, it looks just as if it's about a fish who has a weird habit of eating treasure chests.

I think it'd make sense in the context of the page...

Clock is set. Anyone for/against the pull motion?

Heh...I just now realized that I forgot to actually set the clock the last time. The pic isn't artifacted like I thought it was when I look at it in Fire Fox, but I still like #6 better.

I understand the objection that it might be unclear, but it seems clear to me. No idea about the context or who the fish is, tho I might have guessed Legend of Zelda from the boomerang mention.

Damn. I wish I still played EverQuest II. I could easily put together a screenshot of my character fighting a monster, then a shot of the monster's corpse with a treasure chest on the ground where the body lay. The game lives off this trope. You kill monsters, and a treasure chest will drop where it died.

The game is free to play, but I don't want to install it on my computer again just for a couple screenshots.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
