Maybe it's just me, but it's a little hard to tell exactly what's going on here. Maybe this instead?

I think that current one is good. The suggested replacement is not better, since it doesn't illustrate the trope at all. It just talks about it.

I take one look at the image on the page now and think:

"Who are these people, and what is going on in the third panel?"

I think we got a JAFAAC, myself. The replacement isn't much better, though.

I like the current pic a little more than the suggestion.

I don't like the current. It just doesn't seem clear to me.

The suggestion is okay-ish.

[up]Agreed. I'm not sure what's going on in that picture. I see one guy running one way, another guy running the other way, and also there's a robot. The suggestions isn't awesome, but I think it's better than what's up there now.

The red things in the pic are mines. The guy in the middle is the bomb tech.

As the person who edited the current image together: context. The comic was what inspired me to YKTTW the trope but I'll grant it's maybe hard to know what's going on if you aren't familiar with who's who. Not JAFAAC though.

I don't think it's JAFAAC, the running away part is perfectly clear. It's just not clear who's running and what they're running from.

Not JAFAAC, definitely. It's clearly got aspects of the trope in there...it's just hard for me to tell exactly what's going on.

I added some better description to the caption of the existing pic for now. Carry on.

I think that the current is a better than the T-shirt.

And given the divide (Crono Inuh Teeth for tshirt, Madrugada Willbyr Adannor for current, others are not so clear), the most likely way to consensus is to find a third option. Perhaps this comic?

Just to specify, I'm not specifically voting in favor of the shirt; it has its own problems. I just think it's more clear than what's up there at the moment.

[up]That's okay, but I there's a lot of unnecessary text, and it's not entirely clear that the guy who's running is a bomb tech.

It's not the bomb tech, it's Captian Tagon, who knows exactly what sort of heat Kevyn the Mad Scientist packs.

Have hollered for a clock on the thread - there doesn't seem to be a clear consensus or other suggestions.
