Nothing to do with the trope: What Happened To The Mouse

This page's image and caption exist solely for the purpose of making a joke about the trope's name. It nothing at all to do with the actual trope.

We've already had one IP thread about this one, and as I recall the current was the overwhelming favorite.

I still like it!

Motion to keep image

I shrunk it to 350 pixels. That being done, Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

I really can't imagine this being picturable without having a ton of text, so I'm going with Keep Until Better Image Suggested; it's not going to confuse anyone or anything.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested. I think this would be nigh unpicturable if we were to attempt a straight example.

Keep unless you've got something better to suggest.

Seriously, making an IP thread to ask for a pull for the reason "the current picture is a silly joke" when you don't have anything to suggest to replace it is kind of pointlesss. Most of the "silly joke" page images are there because no one has ever suggested something that does illustrate the trope well, or because it's virtually impossible to illustrate with a still image.

Maybe we should add that to the Criteria for valid Image Pickin' threads. Because I've seen a lot of "page image is a Visual Pun / joke image" without a replacement suggestion.

Support.

Looks fine. I think we can lock this now, since the consensus is pretty clear.

You might want to tag "Unless you have a suggestion that actually illustrates the trope" on the end of it. There's no reason to keep a joke image up somebody manages to find an image that actually manages to show the trope.

Done. Also, please go to the "sexy new way to boost forum coolness" thread in Wiki Talk and critique the suggestion I made as a PM to newcomers to IP.
