Following up on the image source thread, current pic is probably fanart from this site and we don't have permission. I'm not yanking it because I'm uncertain, but given how easy this is to picture, shall we brainstorm some?

I like an older image to show the age of the trope.

Wikipedia has a nice one

Please excuse my pimping of Death, but I'd love it if he could stay the page image. Here's some official art of him: [1] [2] [3]. 1 and 2 are illustrations by Paul Kidby, one of the official illustrators of the series, 3 is from the second game.

Without being able to look at all the suggestions right now, the B/W pic and 3.1 get the nod from me.

   I like 3.1, too. The older pencil picture is nice, too, but he isn't wearing a cloak, which is a big part of the trope.   

   Evil is my favorite color.

3.1 is good for me. Others are just generic deaths.

Looked at 3.2 and 3.3...good for Image Links, but not as good as the others.

That's really good, provided it resizes well.

The best part of the Cholera image is that it shows exactly what the Grim Reaper does, which is kind of important on a page for the Grim Reaper.

Yes, I also agree on the cholera image.

[up][up]Good point, I didn't think of that.

I liked the Discworld ones because they showed that Our Reapers Are Different, but I like Le Cholera one a little better now, too.

Also for the Cholera.

If a chicken crosses the road and nobody else is around to see it, does the road move beneath the chicken instead?

Good enough. The new pic's up and tagged, and the old pic and the other suggestions are on the Image Links page. Caption or no? I lean toward no.

This is a picture that speaks for itself pretty well, I say no.
