Don't get me wrong, the image on here is fine. But can we ditch the top frame? It's really not necessary, and doesn't illustrate anything that the second frame can't do alone.

And I highly doubt anyone will think "she's a six-fingered girl", since you can see that her left hand has five.

Well I had a friend who's son was born with six fingers on just one hand....

Anyway I am really fine with the way it is currently. (It was my suggestion and the people in the old thread thought to do that and label it like that) it shows the trope well.

I like the image as is.

Actually, I think this emphasizes Off-Model more—you can see how they cut corners by simply adding extra fingers, rather than redrawing the whole hand.

[up][up]That's not a redraw? The entire hand looks different. The angles aren't exactly the same. Editing it like that would require more work than redrawing it entirely.

Does anyone know where the current image is from (not as in show, as in where that collection of pixels was found/created from)? It's got a lot of artifacts.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Yeah, the first image is needed to show that the person in the picture does not normally have six fingers.

Her left hand shows that.

If you really want to change it, how about something from "meduka meguca"?

Warning, spoilers for those who haven't finished the series. We don't need the text, just a picture, which would be easy to cut and resize.

The top frame adds very little, but costs a lot.

[up][up]My thoughts exactly. No sane person would assume she's supposed to have 6 fingers in one hand, especially on a page about animation errors. The image does not exist in a vacuum.

The top frame could easily be removed. The current image is not bad, nor is the top frame a serious problem, but less tall images are generally encouraged.

I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!

I support removing the top pic.

I'm fine with the first image going; it's easy to deduce that she isn't meant to have six fingers.

The image never really bothered me. Though I have to agree on getting rid of the first image.

I can't think of anything good for a signature.

[up][up][up] Okay, the single panel pic, paired with that caption, is fantastic, provided that we pothole "Up to Eleven" to Just For Pun instead of Up To Eleven.
