I think we could do better here. Current picture shows an actual tiny violin (which is playing with the trope), and it's not being played.

EDIT: Revoking pull motion per ...still not exactly happy with the pic, but at least it does have context.

Object to pull.

Picture works as a visual pun, therefore Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

Object to pull

This is very much an example of the trope. Mr. Krabs is definitely playing the violin in this scene as a way to make a snide comment about Squidward's predicament. He may not be playing it in this particular picture, but he does in fact play it here.

Keep Until Better Image Suggested. I think it would be really hard to come up with a still picture that communicates this better, but we can see if anyone has any ideas.

Agreed. I agree that it's hardly a good illustration of the trope, but it's at least an example of the trope, which for me puts this squarely in Keep Until Better Image Suggested territory.

Is it possible to get a better-quality version?

Ehh guys, my point for this thread was not "pull this pic", it was (and still is) "we can do better, suggestions?"... so please stop repeating Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

That's because the second post used to read "MOTION TO PULL" in big letters.
