Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? has the same image as Combat Pragmatist—the one of Indy shooting the guy with the sword. I'm not really sure where it would fit better.

It fits much better on Combat Pragmatist.

On Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? it's much more of a straight literal interpretation of the trope, and since that is a villain trope according to the description, it's actually misleading.

The original image was deleted without discussion. Here is it:

[up] Ah, I forgot about that one. Well, I'm going to swap that back right now, since it was moved without discussion. Still, I think that would fit better on Stating the Simple Solution.

[up]You know, I think I might agree with that. Are there any good images for this page, though?

[up][up][up] I don't really like that; it's too close to a JAFAAC. There is no indication what these people are doing, who they're supposed to "just shoot" and so forth.

[up]xkcd one is already in use. I like the first one, though.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

6.1 is great.

[down] I completely forgot about the one-panel thing... that's too bad if we can't use it.

Do we have permission to use SMBC cartoons? I can't remember...if we do, I'd be fine with that.

Question: Do we need to clearly differentiate Stating the Simple Solution from Why Don't You Just Shoot Him? in pictures? They do have a subtrope/supertrope relationship, according to the latter.

I came on the discussion page to ask if it wouldn't be better to use http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=526#comic

... Seems someone already made the suggestion :-)

I'm fine with SMBC or Joker and Harley.

I would keep Harley and the Joker, then start an image picking thread for the simply solution page instead.

The clock's up, and the overall consensus is to keep the Joker/Harley pic on Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?, so I'll tag the page accordingly. Locking up.
