Am I the only one who thinks the current image on Four-Fingered Hands is kinda creepy? Surely we can find a good picture of a cartoon character or something, possibly with White Gloves.

The current image does not directly illustrate the trope, because it's a comics thing. Nevertheless, it's good enough until someone provides a better image - Keep Until Better Image Suggested.

It's alright, but I think I'd prefer a pic from a character over that.

"Five fingers? Ewww, freakshow!"

If this isn't a good one, there are TONS of Simpsons examples (they actually lampshade the four fingers on the show a lot).

Keep Until Better Image Suggested, even if it's a real hand.

I like the current one better. I think both are about equal quality, though.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

The picture from #5 is good.

I like the current image, but 5 will do if a replacement is really necessary.

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

5 is confusing, why are there five fingers on the paper while the characters are consistently four-fingered?

[up]Lisa is reading an article in a magazine about how in the future, humans will have five fingers.

Beside the point, anyway; what's great about the image is how it juxtaposes the in-universe four fingers with the real-life five, context be damned.

The current image is okay, but the Simpsons pic is much better.

I prefer the Simpsons pic. The current image demonstrates the title rather than the trope.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

That's enough of a consensus to go with the Simpsons pic; if someone can upload it and put it on the page, I'll handle the rest. Thanks!

Will do.

Caption seems unnecessary, I believe.

If the "freakshow" line is dialogue from that scene, I'm fine with that.

Tentatively put the caption in - at the very least, it's doing no harm.

I found a Simpsons quote site and tweaked the caption a bit. Locking up.
