We've got a dupe image threesome of sorts. Duck Hunt and TheScrappy.Video Games both use the same in-game pic of the dog from Duck Hunt, and The Computer Shall Taunt You uses the Game Over screen from the game.

We can easily solve the issue for the actual game by using the box art, but finding a new pic for either TCSTY or TS.VG could be challenging. Personally, my vote's to leave the pic on the fomer...I just have no suggestions for the latter. Thoughts?

Tingle could work for video game Scrappies.

Is there an image of Tingle that isn't JAFAAC?

The one on Americans Hate Tingle would work if not for how it would create another image duplication issue.

I'm all for replacing the work page with the game cover. Of the images of the infamous dog, I think that one for The Computer Shall Taunt You should be the one to keep...

I now go by Graf von Tirol.

I've switched out the pic on Duck Hunt. The more I think about it, the more I think that it may be easier to get a new pic for The Computer Shall Taunt You that it will be to get a good pic for TheScrappy.Video Games, aside from moving the pic that's on TCSTY to TS.VG.

What about my suggestion?

Type is borderline illegible, and I don't get it.

I can read it, but I'm lost on the context.

It requires you to know what Link had to do to get that. And I don't remember it being boat-flame-worthy, so it's more Disproportionate Retribution.

I can read it, and I've played the game, but I still have no idea why he burns the shop boat.

Yeah it only makes sense if you see the entire comic, where Cat!Link goes through all this trouble to get the "special appreciation" gift, which turns out to be as you see. I don't think it really helps the trope.

Hearing nothing, I suppose we can go ahead and lock this since there's enough of a qualitative difference between the TCSTY and TS.VG pics of the dog.
