This looks like a very odd image choice. The bubbles just say there's no chance he'll fall off. Also, it's hard to say what's going on in the bottom panel.

Me neither.

This may be my Fan Myopia talking, but maybe some Gladstone pics?

It just has to be Gladstone, huh. We should find some more materials of him before, though... I'll see what I can get, but don't count on it. Your batch is decent but his luck is usually more outrageous than that.

While I know that character, I doubt that he's really illustrative of the trope as shown. Also, what do the visuals add in the middle image?

[up] Well, the best I could find was the first, but I think it would look horrible resized. And he's the first thing that came to mind when I saw the trope. Doesn't have to be him, just throwing it out there.

I'm okay with Gladstone (and I'm not even a Duck fan). It's definitely an improvement over the current image; I'm not even sure what's going on in there.

This had an Image Pickin' thread a while back but nothing came of it.

[up] That pic you uploaded looked better, but I gues it's still mostly dialogue. :/

Tried my hand at resizing. The text would need to be fixed, though.

Gives a bit more context. I hope.

Another suggestion: Gladstone from Oolated Luck.

Such a bad day. Usually a squirrel will just vomit it on the table.

I think I like most of the suggestions better than the current.

[up][up][up] Ooh~ I like that.

Just one suggestion: Is it possible to stack them vertically so that we could make the individual panels bigger and text clearer?

The scan quality is horrible. Did what I reasonably could.

The cleaned-up version is good.

So, should we run with diamond ring Gladstone?

Is it possible to make the text easier to read?

The original is this monster. It's possible, but I'm not so good at this, so it's quite daunting to do proper cleaning-up for relatively minor improvements. Is it that bad?
