I actually like the second quote better than the first. It's an actual example of the trope, while the first is just people talking about the trope.
The image isn't showing up on my side either. As for the quote, I think the first one makes more sense for the top of the page.
I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!We don't need to discuss the quote here, we have a new thread in Special Efforts just for that.
As for the image, it doesn't seem to work. I don't think it needs one anyway.

I went ahead and removed the... uh, non-existent... image... thing. As for the quote, I like the first one.
What is this "sleep" you speak of?I did a bit of legwork (well, finger work) and found both what the image was and where it was chosen. Bam! I think it's fine without an image, but I thought this was needed info.
The fact that your handle has "agent" in it makes that report even better than it already is.
Anyway, we should probably replace it. Which panels were used in the original? First and last?
What is this "sleep" you speak of?I'm not sure which panels; I don't think they say in that thread and that link for whatever reason simply does not work.
Also, I think that first and second panel would work best. It's somewhat less funny, but gets the point across nicely.

The second panel of that makes a really good quote. So much so, I added it to the Quotes page.
I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!That seems better than the other page quote(s). It is also an actual example instead of a description of an example, but it's not made-up.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.I also prefer Calvin's quote. Is it just me, though, or does Calvin and Hobbes get a lot of page quotes? I'm seriously wondering that, 'cause it might just be in my head.
I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!I guess Bill Waterson is a very incisive writer.
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.I'd be fine with replacing the current quote with that one...the page wouldn't even really need a pic with that in place.
Clock is set...anyone else in favor of flipping the quotes around?
I'd flip the quotes around, despite Calvin and Hobbes's popularity.
I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No further action is to be taken based on this thread.
First off, it seems to have an image but it isn't showing up.
I'm not sure how this can be pictured anyway, being about dialogue and all.
On a sidenote, I think the second page quotation should be scrapped, given its vague attribution. Besides, the guideline is usually one per page anyway.
