Basically the page is ambiguous. She could be putting her glasses back as easily as removing then.

Also it may just be the monitor that I'm using right now, but isn't the quality of this picture kinda low and grainy?

If people put glasses on that way, half the time they'd stab themself in the eye. Also, um, the page is called "the glasses gotta go", don't think that is a serious/relevant criticism.

No replacement suggestion?

I put my glasses like that.

Anyway, as suggestion, I would suggest two-images side-by-side showing the comparison between with and without.

Action of someone removing the glasses would also be good.

You hook an arm behind one ear and then pull/angle back? Do you stab yourself in the eye often? :D

The "no image suggestion?" thing was serious, though. This thread is not valid I don't think.

On the top of my head, Strawberry100% should have some good examples.

Ready to show, however, no.

Will work on it.

Perhaps we could pair two pictures from Shes All That:

Glasses: [1]

No glasses: [2]

Just thought of this, is the action of removing the glasses more or less important then the story bringing attention that she looks better without the glasses?

If less, then we can crop up the third of fourth panel of my second link into a single image.

I think it would pass the idea of the trope better.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
