It's just a stick and a caption, seems like an insta-pull for me.

I tried to find some sort of parody example in a webcomic or something like that to replace it, but I had no luck.

Current pic:

After seven years of sleeping, the Hero of Time forgets how to handle a three foot wooden rod.

+1 to run that through the chipper and spread it on the flower bed.

Count me as #7, and with previous discussions as precedent, it gone.

This could be better, but I'll start off the suggestions with this.

Belief or disbelief rests with you.

[up] I can't see what's happening there and it relies entirely on the text. That's no better than JAFAAC.

It's definitely too dark for my tastes.

There's nothing happening there for you to see. Just a guy, a fairy and a text box.

That's great. Although it also reminds me of You Have Researched Breathing (which has another VG Cats comic).

Oppression anywhere is a threat to democracy everywhere.

I think the comic is referencing the license system from Final Fantasy 12, which is more of an example of You Have Researched Breathing than Arbitrary Equipment Restriction. Still, I don't have any better ideas.

That might be the best we can get. The closest direct pictoral example I can find is this screenshot where the unusuable items are visibly greyed out, but it might be a bit too subtle to work.

Anyone else for the VG Cats pic?
