The image here gives absolutely no information about the trope. It seems to be a bad case of "let's just show a picture of the trope namer." And then of course there is the placeholder caption. So really it's just a face.

I removed the caption.

While the picture doesn't really say anything, except implying there's maybe a time machine, it also doesn't actively harm the page.

Don't care for that one at all...nothing there to indicate time travel.

[up]Agree.

When I saw the title of this thread the first thing I thought of would be to have a screenshot of that page on the Wayback Machine, but sadly that isn't the trope at all. Don't have any ideas.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

That one's a bit better than current, since it shows the entering into a machine.

[up] Agreed; I'd be fine with that pic in and of itself.

Support the swap, though the bubble could use better formatting.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I took a crack at it: [1]

Here's one with an empty speech bubble, I'm just terrible with font selection so someone else might want to redo it: [2]

please don't capitalize my handle. I just don't like it.

[up] That first one is fine with me; I definitely prefer it to the big bubble version.

Not really. Bananasloth's first picture seems fine to me. It's about as good as we're gonna get.

Hearing nothing else, I've put bananasloth's pic up. If we find something else better later on, we can hit this again. Locking up.
