Cracked has an image lampshading this trope. (Number 7) Might make a decent page image.

Maybe...cropped to the center cop and the ones on the right side of the pic?

I like the idea, but not the image quality. (Cropping doesn't really help on that front.)

Eddie's reconfirmed the need for decent image quality recently in the Plucky Girl thread. I'd gonna say this one is out on that basis. Again: nice idea, but we need a better quality pic than that.

I think it's pretty good, and prefer that pic over just leaving the page blank.

That's excellent.

No, the photo quality isn't the greatest, but the image content quality more than makes up for it, and it looks like a screencap from a low-budget cop movie.

[up] I really like that. The poster in the police office is harder to read.

[up][up] But isn't that the full comic? If so, we can't use it without permission, as all three panels are needed for it to work.

[up] Really? Reading the description, it seems like just the first panel could work fine.

The first panel of Artistic Platypus's suggestion encapsulates this trope perfectly, and the quality is good. The last two panels of [up]that comic would probably be illegible when reduced to 350 pixels. So the cop comic gets my vote.

They'll be perfectly legible when stacked.

Well yeah, but the other comic still 1) illustrates the trope in a more straighforward way, and 2) does it in one panel.

My problem with The Order Of The Stick suggestion is that it is not clear the characters are cops.

Here's the first panel of AP's suggestion. I think it sums it up, too.

Permission to put that panel up then? There's still no image there.
