In the Even the Girls Want Her thread ([1]) it was suggested that this Grrl Power image might fit better on SSF than what's there.


Current:

It feels like I'm wearing nothing at all! Nothing at all! Nothing at all!


Suggestion:

one-panel version

two-panel version

three-panel version

The suggestion shows an unwanted attraction, rather than just disgust like the current picture.

Whether or not the person having the moment is disgusted by it isn't important, at least according to the description. The main problem with the Simpsons pic is that it relies on the caption to get the trope across; take it away and anything could be happening in that scene, especially if you're not familiar with the show (like me). The Grrl Power pics don't need a caption to convey the trope.

My preference is the 2-panel pic. For this trope's purposes, the 3-panel is overkill. The 1-panel just doesn't get enough across...a perky rack doth not a bombshell necessarily make.

[down] Noted, and apologies if I misread.

Pretty sure the duck meant the suggestion is better. (Shows both those things, not just one of them.)

I like the one-panel; the other stuff seems beside the point.

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

I like the one panel better. Less to read, and it's pretty obvious what the girl in the middle is staring at. I'd even suggest cropping the pic a little more to remove the two speech bubbles at the top, I don't really think they do anything to the pic except add empty space. The boobs and "not a lesbian" show the trope sufficiently.

The speech bubbles at the top don't bug me.

[up][up] Whether they bug you or not, do they really add anything? I say no. My ideal would be taking the same panel from the 3 panel version and blowing it up to full size. I think that would look best.

[up] Edit: Rodney beat me to it. I think that looks much better.

What rodney said is what I meant. I think the one-panel version is enough, cropped.

A bit off-topic: It's amusing that the shot of the woman from the front just gives her awesome decolletage, but from the side, her nipples should be exposed...bit of an art failure. evil grin

Further suggestion: if this is approved, make an image links page and move the former page image there.

A couple more votes for 7/11 and we can run with it.

Love 7/11. Looks fantastic.

I still don't like that image. <_<

However, I'm not here to posit my dissatisfaction, I'm more here to snicker at how many times we said 7/11. tongue

Added my support as well, and it's up, potholed and tagged. Anyone willing to make Image Links can do so.
