While the current image isn't horrible, it's not terribly demonstrative. Maybe the last two panels of this XKCD would be better. Thoughts?

Current image:

I like the xkcd comic option too. The current picture just looks like a guy wearing a mask playing with someone.

The XKCD one is on Rules Lawyer, for one, where it fits at least as well, and which was much more difficult to find a page image for, and for two, the Chess With Death Scene in The Seventh Seal is the freaking Trope Codifier. There's no reason to replace it with something newer "just because".

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.

How is the current image not demonstrative?

A: It's not just because. It's not demonstrative (it's not clear what he's doing or who he's doing it with). But B: Fair point on the duplicate image. I'm hollering for a lock, if someone else thinks of one, they can open another thread.
