Indeed. As for the concerns about someone seeing it in a public place; if someone is looking at your computer screen and paying close enough attention to notice a cartoony image of a hand in someone's shirt, yet not to notice the context in which that image is presented, that's their own fault.

Mickey Mouse can be workable — thibnk of Epic Mickey the videogame...
Do a "Before/After" type thing with Mickey. "Before" would be one of those late '20s or early '30s black-and-white cartoons — he does some relatively politically incorrect stuff in there. "After" would be the 1950s or 1980s. Caption would be along the lines of "How to clean up for the ghetto."
How does that sound?

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.I think the point of the latest collage was that it mixed adult animation with children's animation (thence Mickey Mouse), so that you had to think about which work was which. I know, it wasn't a terribly good idea.
While Fritz The Cat is good for pushing the "WE'RE NOT FOR KIDS! WE'RE FOR ADULTS DESPITE BEING ANIMATED". I think Watership Down is a slightly better example because of how it's assumed to be a young kids romp because of it's subject material (It's actually for teenagers). Though The Plague Dogs is better example because it's for adults AND comes under the assumption that it's for kids.
Here is a similar one for Plague Dogs (Though, I don't think it's as good as the Watership Down one)◊
(Of course, both of these images need to be re-sized, but that's a non-issue at the moment)

I'm having to learn to pay the priceMeh. Both of these are kinda weak. The Fritz The Cat thing is better (and I can't see anything NSFW in it)

I mean, I've known parent's who rented it thinking that it's another countries version of The Aristocats with... child-scarring results.
Though, these may be to... violent for the trope page.

I'm having to learn to pay the priceWatership Down may be a better example, arguably, but it's not a better illustration. The Plague Dogs is also a really good example. Images aren't chosen based on what's the best example. The Fritz the Cat poster shows a cartoon character with his hand down another character's shirt. That's great.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.Now that I think about it, it is a better example.
So, all in favor of Fritz The Cat?
I'm having to learn to pay the priceAye.
Evil is my favorite color.I object. Any example like that would be more like What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?.
The perfect image would be from a webcomic, that discusses this issue.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8yAjWvAqyMI absolutely cannot see What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids? in the Fritz The Cat image. It's right there on the cover, which is rather weird for WDYMINFK. The text is already a lampshade.
By the way, Animation Age Ghetto is a subtrope of What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?.
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard FeynmanAgreed 100%.
One or two more votes for the Fritz pic and we can run with it.
Done, potholed, and tagged. Caption or no?
Sure, why not?
Yes, that must have been included in the collage as some crude attempt at a joke that fell flat as a pancake. Anyway, that monster hath been slain now.
I think the Fritz the Cat image would work. I've seen more racy images on this site.
I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!
