How does this image apply?: Really Gets Around

I think the problematic part is not the squickiness, but that the current pic also has the implication that making people (or creatures) pregnant is a part of this trope. Also, Really Gets Around is usually about female characters, while the pic has a male one. As stated in the trope description, due to a Double Standard a different trope is generally used with male characters who have lots of sexual partners. So the tree carving pic better illustrates what the trope is about.

Is that pic a Take That! at Katy Perry?

[up] I could be wrong, but I think that comic predates Katy Perry by a good many years, so I doubt it.

To Spark 9's comment - The current pic doesn't squick me either, but the proposed comic pic is much clearer about what's going on.

It doesn't matter about squickiness. I don't even know what's going on in that picture without the caption. Plus considering some mythologies, they don't even need to be kids of differing parents.

As for the proposed picture, it's Katy Keene, which is part of Archie Comics, and has been around since the middle of the 20th century.

Also, think we might have consensus for using the picture?

Let's get one or two more yeas since we've had some votes for the current pic.

OK, yeah, that's much better than the current picture. Changing my vote to the Katy Keane image.

That's good enough. The new pic is up, potholed to Katy Keene (someone can make the page later), and tagged. Caption or no?

I'd suggest be something about how that isn't Katy Perry in the image.

I like that caption. How about replacing the clothes with shoes, though?
