Undemonstrative, wordy and awkwardly sized.

The pic is fine.

I had a feeling Tweedly Dee was going to be the OP. Just saying... The only complain I can find with the image is, if one's not familiar with the "read right to left" rule of mangas, the order of the panel might be confusing. Maybe it would work better mirrored, so that it can be read clockwise, and that's easily achievable.

I agree with mirroring the image. If this were a primarily Japanese-languaged wiki, right-to-left would be fine, but in English most folks read left-to-right. Period.

I added "read right to left" which can be as temporary or as permanent as other people want it.

I approve of the picture. Apathetic on the mirroring suggestion.

[up] When the caption has to explain anything it's a flaw.

[up]When the caption has to explain everything it's a flaw. If it's just a funny retort that's fine, but if it helps with getting the whole picture, the better. Otherwhise we wouldn't have captions in the first place I guess. At any rate, I went ahead and flipped the current image: Clicky. Looks good to me. smile

[up][up]I like the flipped picture.

@Tweedle: As has been said, the caption is only a problem when it does everything. As long as the picture adds something (which this one obviously does), it's fine.

I'm liking flipped as well.

If nobody has anything against the flipped version of the current one we should probably put it up and remove the right to left comment.

Should we wait for more suggestions or just do it?

Nobody's raised any complaints, so I'd say go for it.
