I believe that this trope would benefit from an image from the Real World to show the difference. The image is basically a world where everyone has a silvery skin, but that's not the trope. Also, the page has two quotes, and the first (lengthy) one isn't really fitting for this trope either.

Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!

Agree first quote should be removed (zap), but disagree that a comparison frame is needed. I think readers can be expected to know that Superman doesn't have blue skin or a backwards S, nor does Batman have floppy ears, nor is this planet a cube. Might benefit from a replacement (suggestion?) but doubt an addition would help.

[up] Forgot to zap the part of the opening paragraphs that explicitly cite the zapped quote. :P (Took care of it, though.)

Even if you miss every single other visual cue in the image, there's still the fact that the Earth isn't a cube in the normal world.

I think this is good enough. At least enough so as to be in Keep Until Better Image Suggested territory. And I don't think a comparison is necessary either.
