The current image has the considerable advantage of being from media. Also, the trope is "pigs are always portrayed as messy"; no portrayals in those suggestions.
I agree that image is weak, though.

The current image doesn't portray that either.
True!
("This other thing is also bad" is not a point in favor of the first thing.)
I think being from media rather than (say) a Real Life photograph makes a page image better in general, but many other tropers disagree; so I don't push that very hard. However: that is especially important, critical perhaps, when the trope is about how pigs are portrayed in media.

Hi
I lean toward pulling the image.
IMO "no image" is the best suggestion so far...
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
Seconding motion to pull
I like the fourth image - the wallowing behavior's the origin of the stereotype after all. Yeah, unwritten rule number one: follow all the unwritten procedures. - Camacan
I support pulling the current image - it doesn't demonstrate the trope (which should be about pigs being stereotypically portrayed as messy - though at the moment it's rather a Self-Demonstrating Article, considering the total mess in its example section 
).
Btw, how about these images I found through google:

They're all fictional depictions of pigs, and they all pinpoint both a straight use of the trope, and its rather common subversion
Hi
Pulled.

First one is pretty good.
Can't use those cartoons, cuz they're watermarked.
Rhymes with "Protracted."
Can we ask for permission?

I like the second suggestion from Kaiser's post the best. It's basically the perfect description of a pig being messy.
Catch me where? See my profile!Slightly more complex than "a pig that is messy". That image depicts a real pig. The trope is about how pigs are frequently portrayed in fiction.

Zzzzzzzzzz
We can ask for permission on the cartoons, but I'd be amazed if we get it. They're all from a site for a business that exists to sell the rights to cartoons for the cartoonists.
