This looks like the whole comic to me. Is it? I'm making some fewer panel variations right now, but I won't upload them unless I need to.

What panels should we use if it turns out to be the whole comic? Is it legal to use the last one, which has a copyright notice on it?

Motion to Pull

It's the whole comic in the form of a low-quality JPEG.

The quality is pretty bad, so I'm seconding a pull.

Three votes to pull and there have not been any objections. Pulled.

Maybe panels 2 & 3 from that could work.

Here's what I could do. I'm fine with the quality, but it is a bit low, which annoyed some people. The image does not give much indication of why she needs to act natural, but you can infer by the way she's nervously gripping her purse and their position in the shop that she is trying to shoplift. If that's not enough, we can add panel 1.

Edit: Now that I look at it again, I might should've increased the size too.

Thanks to Google's new search-by-image feature, I found a higher quality version of the strip. Here's panels three and four:

At this rate they're going to have to pay for that CD.

[up] Not bad, especially when paired with that caption.

I'd like panel two as well, just so it sets up what's going on without the caption doing that for it.

I agree, the third panel doesn't make much sense without the second.

That looks much better, but the second panel may need to be added.

That's the problem with four-panel cartoons: Majority of the time, all four panels are necessary to truly communicate it.

I think the third panel alone communicates the fact that "act natural" got said. Exactly why she's supposed to be doing it isn't critical to illustrating the trope.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No further action is to be taken based on this thread.
