Does Not Illustrate: Not Hyperbole

The page image for Not Hyperbole, while (apparently) being an example, is very hard to actually understand — first, it heavily relies on text, which is pretty small; and second, the "tornado inside their belly" part is not seen, only implied. I suggest changing it.

For the replacement, I can (off-hand) suggest a two-part image of this sequence from Homestuck: a guy punches another guy, and the latter literally flies into next week. See post #3.

You can fix the tag yourself by pressing that blue-button-paper-thing on the upper left. It has to be in CamelCase to link to the article.

Thank you.

For my suggestion: It's either these two pages, or first two images from this one, whatever works better. (both would require dissecting a GIF)

I agree that the current pic is bad (mostly because of the barely legible text), but I don't get how those three examples even fit the trope... The first and third one have some big guy punching another guy, and the second one has some guy in a grocery store. As far as I can tell, none of them show the "hyperbole" part of the trope in any way.

Well, it was an "off-hand" suggestion... That was supposed to be a non-metaphor for "punched into next week".

I thought it was pretty clear. And you all but see him explode, since you see him swell up and see the sound effect.

Text is a little small, but just leaning in a bit to read it doesn't make it unintelligible.
