Too small: Cigar Chomper

[up] yeah but Groucho scores brownie points with Eddie.

Not to mention, strictly speaking, I think it's best that we actually see the cigar being chomped, as in, their teeth are showing to some degree. Just showing a guy smoking the cigar is boring. Yes, the trope is about guys who like to smoke cigars, but it's more fun when they're living up to the name.

Vice Admiral Smoker definitely has them in his teeth.

Wow there are a lot of great options here! We should probably have a crowner if we ever want to figure it out. And I know this character has been suggested before, but I still want to note the Liam Neeson Cigar Chomper

[up][up][up] AWESOME!!!!

Caption: "That guy with 2 cigars... He's manlier than those other guys."

Of course, I'm giving into my Fan Myopia for that, so I'm not seriously suggesting a caption that singled Smoker out to steal the spotlight.

Looks good to me.

Not nearly a good enough singer for the Choir Invisible, and the Basement Room With A Synth Invisible is much less prestigious.

Here is the code to post, but I am missing some info about the subjects, for the caption:

Could we use a couple more? And if so, Marvel or DC?

What about Fidel Castro?

Edit: On 2nd thought, I think the picture is fine as it is. We don't want it to be too large, right? Adding JJJ and Castro aren't bad ideas though.

The pic already hangs way down into the example list; adding two more is going to be overkill.

Yeah, I'm good with the smaller one, just wondering.

4 is pushing my "clunky sequence image" limit as it is, 6 is serious overkill. I think Smoker alone is better, but the 4 panel one is okay if I'm outnumbered on that.

Also, another one for the Image Links page: [1]

[up] Hard to tell that's a cigar.

Also, why exactly is 6 overkill?

[up] Because, the idea is for an image to function efficiently. If four images work well than a six images that do not add much and take up more space (hence becoming harder to read) are unneeded.

This one's way past time to wrap; locking up.
