Posted for reference.

What am I supposed to say about this? I really can't tell anything about the fact that he's the dragon, that he's seeking to overthrow the Big Bad, or any of this. All I can tell is it's some guy from some series.

There are some fans of the series that know who he is and why you should care.

Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.

I am not a fan of that series, and neither know who he is nor why I should care.

Obviously, I move to pull with or without a replacement image.

[down] I'm aware of that caption... In hindsight, was not my best response.

Intended meaning: yeah, totally.

Second the pull, that's bad.

I went ahead and pulled it. If someone really wants to contest it, I suppose we could put it back, but this is sufficiently bad that I think it's warranted.

Three people for a JAFAAC pull isn't normally done, but eh, I doubt anyone will want to contest it. I support that pull.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

Can I contest the pulling while agreeing that it should be done? tongue

And the caption was:

Yup. We truly had a classic case of Just a Face and a Really Terrible Caption. No way do I disagree with this removal, though it was premature.

[up][up]Well, I am both, so sure. tongue

Anyway, do we have suggestions for replacement, or do we agree with no image on this one?

I suggest we take the oots page in the link, and crop it so only the most applicable parts of the trope are left. http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0830.html might be a spoiler though. although i have a feeling most cases would be. I suggest: [1], [2], or [3]. keep in mind this is a more extreme example than the tropes current requirements. I'll let you guys decide if thats a good thing or not.

[up] Aren't those images unclear for anyone unfamiliar with Order Of The Stick (me inclued) ?

These images are just text. Nothing in the visuals to tell the trope.

This trope is probably un-pictureable. Motion for a quick close.

I'm not familiar with order of the stick, and if I'm going to read that much text, I might as well just read the trope page.
