[1] Some panels from this would make a good image, they are cut kinda funny so need some help with that.

"You're". It hurts to see it.

It's actually the set-up for one of the punchlines of the strip. But yeah, I really want to fix it...

If we don't want to lampshade the error in the caption, we can go with this for the sake of pedantry:

By itself, I don't think that's a good picture. It's just two meaningless figures, and one saying a Yo Mama quote. The picture doesn't add anything to the quote, and we should find a picture that does.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

There's an exchange in Gotham Central that I believe would serve as a good page image, it features both insult and retort, giving the full trope. I'm at work right now so I can't get it on-line, but it's from the "Half a Life" arc where Renee is insulted and responds, in what i personally feel was the perfect possible response, "That's what your mother tells me."

I'll try and post a link later tonight so that you can actually see what I'm talking about.

Tick tock...

EDIT: You can PM me with threads that you think need to be clocked; a holler isn't necessary.

^I'm a bit wary of PMs as the green bar can be intimidating, and also as it's spelled out that a holler is faster than a PM sinc ethe Pm'ed person may not be online at the moment.

Going back to the image, the proposal of @5 looks like the visuals don't add anything.

[up] Agreed on #5.

I don't mind the green bar at all, but your other point is spot-on.

Honestly, I don't know what "read pictures" means. I'd be fine leaving this one imageless.
