The current image.

This image is awful. If I want to read a Wall of Text describing the trope, shouldn't I just read the article? The actual panels showing him performing Gaslighting are so tiny that you can barely make out what's going on. While XKCD is one of my favorite webcomics, I consider it to be a very poor choice in general for trope images due to most of the humor relying on the writing rather than the visuals. People complain about captions doing all the work in JAFAAC pulls, yet this passes muster? It's just moving the caption into the image itself. Needs a new picture badly. Motion to pull.

Yes, I am aware of the previous discussion. I think a lot of people just like the idea of having their favorite webcomic as a page image regardless of the suitability. I think the discussion needs to be reopened.

You had ample opportunity to voice your opposition in the first thread; your failure to do so is on you, and griefing won't get you anywhere. Locking this.
