The hyphenator adds a hyphen if the text is of sufficient length. Unfortunately, if the url for the image, even if hosted on the image server, is too long, the url gets hyphenated and the image won't display.

I still don't see the problem. I know the wiki parser will hyphenate it, I just want to view what the image was.

What's the problem with using all four panels?

I still have the image; I can reupload it under a shorter name if you'd like.

Alternatively, if you go into the images list, it works fine that way.

Deboss, why would you prefer vertically arranged panels? More clarity, I presume?

I think vertical looks better if we can't do horizontal. The panels look too wide to fit into a horizontal alignment very well.

Fine then. Reuploaded; you be the judge.

Hm, more legible than I thought. I'm happy with it.

Actually, I'm not convinced Calvin And Hobbes depicts the trope well (it's more of a Batman Gambit on Susie's part), although anything is better than the current image.

Is it possible to get snippets off of something else? Like [1]?

Bump...anyone else for the last C&H pic?

I consider the C&H image Keep Until Better Image Suggested territory, myself, but that's all.

Mt gripe with the C&H pic is that The Tape Knew You Would Say That typically results in a functional two-way dialogue, so Calvin And Hobbes is not actually an example. (But I probably said this already.)

[up]You're right. It's a Sister Trope. There was a similar gag in How I Met Your Mother, and Grandia.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.

Not even remotely. It's another JAFAAC if you can't add some speech balloons to explain it.

[up]I think it is remotely related. The problem is it could be interpreted many ways (though it is a legit example, I agree it doesn't come through that well.)

Anyways, what's wrong with your earlier suggestion? I did a crop:[1]

Or would people complain it was text dependent? (I like pictures with speech bubbles, personally.)

I don't recall anyone even noticing my suggestion. Speech balloons are only a problem if they start taking up the majority of the panel. (Cropped version looks nice, by the way)

Crowner? It is a shame the text is too small to simply resize the top three panels altogether.
