It's a guy with stubble, but it doesn't show how it never changes over time.

I'm not sure how we'd go about pic'ing this otherwise, unless someone wanted to get screencaps from every season of one show.

Tweedly Dee, if you are going to raise objections to page images like this one, please also make a valid suggestion about what you think would work.

What do you think would show, in a static image, that the stubble doesn't change over time?

I'm tempted to make a collage of Mr. Kohei from Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi. He has perma-stubble in every world that he shows up in.

Actually, I'd like to suggest somebody break out the camera for this. We need somebody to use the "stubble" setting of their electric razor. Then soap up their face and then wipe sections of it off so it looks like they're shaving, but stubble is left over.

The current image was chosen by an Image Pickin' thread within the last six months. I'd suggest another change so soon isn't called for.

Really? You need multiple pictures of the same guy to prove that it's permastubble?

No PC atthe moment, but there's a Simpsons ep where five seconds aftr Homer shaves he re-stubbles.

I don't see a need to change the current one. The trope is "Character always is seen with stubble" not "Stubble grows back immediately on shaving."

The Simpson's example is deceptively limiting and doesn't show the trope.

I don't think we need a new image. The current one is fine as it is.

No consensus to change it. Original objection appears to be based on a misunderstanding of the trope.
