Does Not Illustrate: Propaganda Machine

Nope.

Doesn't Superdickery have a worthy one? It has Supes running a printing press.

What is that?

It looks like a device that does something at an amazing speed, or magically. With the title and the word "Us!" it's sort of possible to infer the trope, in a very literal sense.

Not bad enough to pull, but I'd prefer a decent replacement.

Is this being used?◊

I can't think of anything that's using it.

Actually, it's used at Wartime Cartoon... which makes me wonder since it's a comic book.

Maybe we should fix that one too? I'll make a thread about it.

I support that switch.

Give input on the other thread as well to start the switch

I object to that switch. (See other thread.)

I much prefer the Superman pic for this page.

It seems like that would be pretty much only a visual pun.

It fits the trope wholly though (comic being used for war propaganda).

If we can get other "buy war bands" comic book covers though...

Ah, yeah, if it's the whole cover.

I've seen some but they aren't succinct. Compare Supes running a printing press to this◊. The Supes printing press works because it's both literal (he is running a propaganda machine!) and meta (the comic itself is a form of propaganda machine). Maybe if Bats is running a press work too...

So now that the Superman image in Wartime Cartoon, can we use it here?

I'd prefer the entire cover, but that's good, too.

Prefer the entire cover. If it's just an image, then that's only a Visual Pun. If it's the whole cover, it's a VP and a demonstration of the actual trope.

I'm okay with either, really.

That seems a little fuzzy...any better?

Yep.

Much better, yes.

Works for me.

Since rodney's already 'd using the entire cover, one or two more votes for it and we can send it to press.
