Yet another trope image tip: historical examples only make good images if they show the trope.

I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!Doesn't that apply to everything (not just historical examples)?
This one had an IP thread before. I think we decided to keep that one, and the Fast One might be involved, if I recall correctly. Not sure whether it's an admin veto or he's just giving his two cents. But it was kept.
Might want to dig up that thread for reference.
EDIT: Here it is. Please read it first for prior suggestions, opinions, etc.

The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.Panels 1 & 4 of this Hark A Vagrant were suggested last time and I still like it.
Dramaturg, troper, theatre reviewer. (Please hire me.)It was put back only so that the Lion King JAFAAC image would not be put up. If I had been in that thread, I would've suggested imageless.
That suggestion is okay, definitely better than the current pic. I'd support it.

I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!Agreeing with .
The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.They are of different widths, though, so if we are to arrange them vertically we should resize one or the other.
"The Daily Show has to be right 100% of the time; FOX News only has to be right once." - Jon StewartI third the notion of adding the Hark A Vagrant pic; it does a fine job of illustrating the trope.

Here's a quick stab at the 1-4 panel combo suggested:
Yeah, unwritten rule number one: follow all the unwritten procedures. - Camacan
I like it.
The words above are to be read as if they are narrated by Morgan Freeman.Same guy, and this time he's actually doing something. I like it.
I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!Works for me.
So I guess we can put this one up, right?
Done, potholed, and tagged. Caption or no? Maybe "With arsenic icing!"...
Note that, as mentioned in the title but not explicitly in the thread, the book cover is Just A Face And A Caption. Captions appear in places other than right below an image.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Yup, that's why I didn't really like that image at all.
Support Gravitaz on Kickstarter!Hearing nothing further on a caption idea, let's lock up and move on.
For those who don't know, this is the current page image for evil uncle:
This may be just me, but I don't think it tells the reader anything about the trope. Unless you know who Richard the Third is, all you're going to see is an old guy with a scowl. There's nothing there to indicate that he's particularly evil (or, in fact, an uncle).
Thoughts? Personally, I don't think the page needs an image at all.
